The new year has arrived, bringing many new trends and styles to upgrade your home. This year, the bathroom is a major focus of interior designers across the globe, with darker colours, gold hues, and open spaces being some of the common trends. To ensure that your bathroom is up to date, here are this year’s bathroom designs and trends.

Technology

In today’s society, technology has become a part of our everyday lives, making it more common to see smart technology throughout the home. In 2018, one of the top trends for bathrooms is the introduction of technology like touch sensitive mirrors for controlling lights and temperature, shower jets and controls, and voice activated speaker systems. Your bathroom is your oasis, so update it to maximize the relaxation you experience when bathing and carrying out your personal grooming.

Neutral Colour Schemes

2018 will be a year for dark colours in the bathroom, with black and white being a popular choice. The monochrome colour scheme is becoming very popular among interior designers, with its simple, yet classy vibe. This design trend has been recognized by the Dear Designer Blog in the UK, as well as Sydney Australia based interior designer, Hande Renshaw. If you are contemplating an update for your bathroom, consider using a colour scheme with black, white, grey, or cream colours.

3 Dimensional Tile

Using 3 dimensional wall tiles originated in the 1960’s, and is making a significant comeback in the interior design trends for bathrooms. The added texture of the walls gives the room a bit of an artistic feel, making your bathroom look luxurious and inviting. Follow this trend, and make your bathroom chic and up to date.

Natural Accents

A popular design trend in 2018 will be drawing on naturalistic features to complement the neutral colour schemes. Some examples of naturalistic features in the bathroom include wooden vanity drawers, benches, and flooring. Adding greenery to the room like small spider plants, or aloe vera are also a common way to bring nature into the design. Following this design trend will not only make your bathroom look up to date on the latest design trends, but it will also create a natural escape for you to relax in while soaking in the tub.   

Practical Storage

The use of vertical space is a practical way of creating storage space within your bathroom, and it is also one of the future luxuries that will be popular in bathrooms this year. Whether it is built in custom cabinets, or industrial style open air shelves, practical storage solutions are the future of bathroom design trends.

Keeping up to date on the latest bathroom design trends will ensure that your bathroom is not only functional, but also enjoyable to spend time in. So follow these design trends, and you will have the bathroom you always dreamed of. For more information on bathroom design trends, visit the Falconcrest Homes Blog.
