Bathroom Design Trends

If you’re redesigning your bathroom space there are so many great options to consider. From the colour palette and design style to the bathroom fittings, it all comes together to make a welcome space that you will benefit from daily. Learning more about bathroom design trends is a great way to get some inspiration for your own bathroom remodel, as well as discover some great tips and tricks for making compact spaces feel bigger, and practical ways to best use your allocated space.

Here are a few ideas to get you inspired about your bathroom renovation or new build.

1.     Incorporating natural materials

When thinking about shelving, furniture, and walls, natural materials are becoming increasingly popular in the bathroom setting. Wooden vanities and solid wooden tables, stone countertops and walls, as well as bamboo flooring are all great examples of this dominant trend. Organic textures and materials keep the bathroom feeling warm and comfortable. However, if you can’t incorporate natural materials, you could consider bringing in potted plants or even hanging plants in smaller spaces for that natural touch.

2.     Statement tiles for focus

While your entire bathroom does not need to be tiled, statement tiles are making a big mark on the 2024 bathroom trend front. These can be large-format tiles or something smaller with more intricate patterns that bring life and joy to the bathroom. This is a great way to create a focal point or incorporate a splash of colour. Geometric, Moroccan-inspired patterns and colours are also proving very popular, with tiles placed on the walls or floors depending on the space.

3.     Ready-made showers for small spaces

If you’re working with a smaller bathroom space then a popular trend is to incorporate ready-made showers that maximise the area without overwhelming. The GEZA ready-made shower units are great for small spaces, are quick and easy to install, and are durable, minimising the need for maintenance. If you’re designing a compact bathroom for a tiny home such as in a cottage or granny flat, or need to renovate the space quickly, then a ready-made shower unit is ideal.

4.     Minimalism in design

Another dominant trend in bathroom design is minimalism, which is particularly appealing if you have limited room with which to work. The minimalist feel is achieved with lighter colour tones, clean lines, geometric shapes, and natural materials. Consider installing floating shelves or vanities, another great space-saving technique in small bathrooms, wall-mounted toilets, and frameless glass showers or even open showers.

5.     Energy efficient features

Sustainability is going to remain a trend in design for years to come, and this is no different for 2024’s bathrooms. You might want to consider energy and fund-saving options like low-flow shower heads and faucets, energy-efficient lighting in the bathroom – or even more natural lighting – as well as eco-friendly materials. The aforementioned inclusion of plants in the bathroom is another way to improve air quality and connect with nature.

6.     Black accents throughout

Quite a unique trend, and one that tends to work better in larger bathroom spaces, is the inclusion of black accents in bathroom fittings and fixtures. This is also seen in the inclusion of black bathroom tiles as a way to create a lovely contrast against light-coloured walls.

7.     Vintage styles

There’s always space for vintage in design and it’s most certainly a 2024 bathroom trend. The 1970s are back, but don’t worry about avocado bathroom suites that make you feel nauseous just entering the space! Rather this will be bold, vintage colour palettes through tile patterns, with more nuanced shades than was popular in the 70s. This is more a nod towards the era rather than a replication of it as such.

8.     Eclectic styles

It’s time for a bit of eclectic which is great if you’re looking to bring a lot of personality into your bathroom design. This involves mixing patterns, colours and styles that somehow just work together. This could also be a case of mixing old and new styles for a more timeless feel.

9.     Wallpaper in bathrooms

Finally, modern wallpaper, which is available in a range of styles, colours, and designs, is also much more durable than years gone by and is being used in bathroom spaces. This brings great colour and vibrancy into your bathroom space, as well as a dash of old-world luxury.
