Every year there are exciting new trends that come to the fore, whilst others are deemed to be past their sell by date. If you are planning a bathroom makeover this year, read on to discover some of the hottest trends you should be embracing…
Hints of black
Black is a colour that plays beautifully towards the contemporary industrial style, which is popular in all walks of interior design at present. This bold and dramatic hue can instantly update your bathroom. A black tub in an otherwise neutral room can create a focal point and instantly turn a plain bathroom into a striking one. Alternatively, you can bring black into your bathroom via tiles, taps, cabinets, or lighting.
Frameless showers
As the glass is not completely framed, a frameless shower appears to have no edges. This can be a trendy addition to any bathroom. Nevertheless, it is particularly beneficial for those who have a small bathroom. Why? Well, it will help to make your bathroom appear a lot bigger than it actually is, as it gives the illusion of an open and airy space. In order to maximise this impact you should ensure your bathroom is de-cluttered and that colour is only used in minimal amounts.
Curved edges
Traditionally bathroom cabinets and alike tend to be boxy. However, this year you should look for décor with curvaceous details or rounded corners. Not only do they look incredible, but they are very practical as well. Aside from buying bathroom cabinets with a curved design you may also want to consider purchasing a circular mirror or a curved bath tub.
1930’s simplicity
Last but not least, drawing inspiration from a certain time period is a great way to bring the fun to your bathroom and generate a warm vibe. This year it is all about 1930’s simplicity. If you want to emulate this trend you will need to embrace wooden accessories, such as a thick wooden bath rack. You should also look for fixtures and fittings that are robust and utilitarian. Yet you will obviously need to make sure they have a chic edge so your bathroom looks trendy.
So there you have it, the top bathroom trends for 2014. Which ones will you be embracing? Do you dare to go for a dramatic shade of black? Or, are you going to hop in a time machine and create a 1930’s style bathroom? No matter what option you go for, your bathroom is assured to look incredibly stylish for the year ahead!
