Bathroom Trends: Dishing Out The Future of Bathroom Design
Every year, bathroom designs are being shaped by new influences from both the broad area of interior design and general eco-friendly innovations. In this climate of constant progress and sustainability awareness, it is no wonder that bathroom trends seem to be evolving so quickly, that it can be hard for us to keep up.
Although keeping up with the latest design trends can be difficult because the market tends to be oversaturated and bathroom renovations are usually pricey, there is a variety of good in those seemingly never-ending changes. Most bathroom trends aren’t just about looking the part or appealing to the consumers. In fact, lately, it is quite the opposite. Most upcoming trends tackle some issues in terms of power-saving, water efficiency, and environmentally friendly solutions.
We picked some of our favorites of both current and upcoming bathroom trends. Trying to predict the future is a tricky business, but we’ll give it our best.
Eco-warrior Fixtures
Smart, water-saving fixtures are all the rage at the moment and they are here to stay. If you are about to invest in some bathroom renovations, we strongly suggest you consider these amazing touch-free faucets and intelligent showers. These terrific new features not only conserve valuable resources but also bring a tech-savvy, modern vibe into your bathroom. Furthermore, these fixtures allow you to customize water flow, temperature, and even timing, providing you with both luxury and sustainability in one neat package.
Versatile Lighting
Lighting accounts for about 15% of every home’s electricity bill. On that note, modern energy-saving lighting helps lower both your electricity bill and the overall carbon dioxide emissions you put out into the environment. LED lighting is currently the most energy-efficient lighting you can acquire for your home. These small diodes can fit any fixture, so you can really go crazy when it comes to the versatility of your bathroom lighting. Your bathroom lighting should be able to set the mood, so make sure your fixtures are customizable. That doesn’t mean you have to get rid of your favorite ornate chandelier, but rather add some more lighting solutions to your bathroom.
Artsy Mosaic Tiles
Bathroom tiles broke out of their purely functional role a long time ago and although a minimalistic approach is still all the rage, tiles have never been more diverse in material, shape, and color. From elaborately patterned backsplashes to statement floors, colorful and creative tiles are one of the most important features in your bathroom in terms of both design and practicality. Tiles that combine the best of both worlds are definitely mosaic tiles, so whether you opt for a particular design or a repeating pattern, you can’t go wrong with them. Mosaic tiles are also slip and water-resistant, and they don’t require virtually any maintenance, so they are a perfect solution for every bathroom.
Soak With Style
Latest bathroom trends tell us that the bathtub is the new centerpiece, transcending all of its previous plains and expected forms. These days bathtubs are the main wow factor in every contemporary bathroom. They are an innovative mix of cutting-edge technology and beloved designs. From a variety of built-in bathtubs with hydrotherapy features to freestanding masterpieces with smart controls, the future seems to be the playground for innovation and unusual when it comes to bathtubs.
Organic And Natural
Natural materials and organic textures are here to stay. Stone, wood, and live plants are integral parts of every modern bathroom, creating a uniquely grounding sanctuary. Aside from following the narrative of sustainability and an eco-friendly approach, these materials boost visual interest and make the design experience more fulfilling. They are also perfect for creating that soothing, spa-like effect that seems to be taking over the bathroom design scene in recent years.
Whether you are looking to simply redecorate, or do a full-scale remodel of your bathroom, now is the perfect time to embrace one of these trends, because they are definitely here to stay.
