When it comes to interior design, trends and styles come and go pretty much every month. Even if you decorate a room with some of the big styles of the minute, you might find that it is no longer very fashionable by the end of the year!
Thankfully, bathroom decor trends seem to stay around for a bit longer. But that doesn’t mean that this room is completely immune from looking very dated!
In fact, over the past year or so, there have been some big changes in what interior designers consider cool and chic for bathrooms. Here are some of the latest bathroom design trends so that you can bring yours up to date.
Use Natural Materials
If we have learned anything about 2017 from the past couple of months, it is that one of its biggest trends is an organic way of life. And this translates over to our interior design.
As a result, natural materials are going to be big in bathrooms this year.
Try and use woods whenever possible for bathroom furniture and finishings. There are also some other organic materials that are proving very popular with homeowners, including cork and bamboo.
Compact Is Big
Over the past few years, spacious bathrooms have been very in vogue. However, now people are turning to compact bathrooms.
As a result, homeowners are coming up with some unique ideas to make the most of their small bathrooms.
Installing the likes of a shower bath, hidden storage units, and hanging towel rails will help to make compact bathrooms feel a lot bigger than what they actually are.
There are other ways you can make your small bathroom feel bigger, including mirrors and neutral shades of paint on the walls.
Continuity
People are into making their lives as easy as possible these days. And this is also the case when it comes to decorating their homes.
This is probably the main reason why continuity in home decor is such big news right now.
Rather than trying to design separate styles for each room, homeowners are now continuing their decor throughout whole sections of their house.
For this reason, lots of people are decorating their bathrooms in the same style as their bedrooms and upstairs hallway. It makes decorating and designing so much easier and quicker!
Hotel Chic
Vintage was a big bathroom trend for a few years, but this is now being replaced by hotel chic. That’s right – more and more people are designing their bathrooms so that they resemble hotel bathrooms!
There are various factors that create the hotel-chic look. For instance, place a side table next to your bathtub and add collections of toiletries and cosmetics onto small chests of drawers.
Adding a chaise lounge can also make your bathroom look like it’s mean to be in a 5-star hotel.
Why stick with your outdated bathroom when you can update it using these tips? I’m sure redecorating your en-suite or main bathroom will make it your new favorite room!
