New Trends For Bathroom Colors And Decor

The bathroom is one place in your home where an updated, contemporary look is instantly noticeable and appreciated. Consider these color and décor trends that can give your bathroom a fresh lift and contemporary style.

Blues, Neutrals, and Bold accents

A trend for today’s bathrooms is to let color take the spotlight. Blues have always been popular for bathrooms since they are a soothing, universally appealing color. More often nowadays, different shades of blue are used together, in combinations with neutral whites and browns. Turquoise, teal, and aqua are some shades that brighten a neutral palette and these hues are perfectly captured by a tropical theme that features beach inspired decor and tropical wall decorations.

Grey is another versatile neutral that is catching on in many interiors. This calming and refined color provides a background for bolder and brighter colors, such as plum and lemon yellow. Bold colors look great in decorative tiling and bathroom accessories like rugs and shower curtains.

Eco-friendly Materials

Apart from bold color, a trend toward the use of various eco-friendly materials is rising. In the bathroom flooring, walls, and fixtures, you will see stone, slate, bamboo, and other natural materials featured. Designed to utilize sustainable materials and conserve natural resources, eco-friendly bathrooms often have a clean, chic ambience. The various textures also play a big role in the décor. Reclaimed glass tiles offer an attractive, colorful, light-reflecting look for countertops and shower walls. Reclaimed antique wood flooring adds a touch of elegance and character to any bathroom.

Innovative Tiling

In contrast to the plain white tiles of traditional bathrooms, new tiling features a wide array of colors, shapes, sizes, and materials. Different visual effects can be created by using a combination of different tiles and arrangements in the bathroom. On shower walls, for example, glazed ceramic tiles used as background and mosaic glass tiles placed along a decorative border are a popular combination. Pebble stone tiling on floors, walls, or countertops is also a great choice for a natural and refreshing feel, especially combined with greenery and earth-toned bathroom decor.

Spa Decor

A luxurious, spa-like bathroom is always an attractive option when remodeling or designing a new bathroom. Multiple shower heads and massage jets in the bath make relaxing after a long day entirely possible in your bathroom. Plush rugs and towels, recessed dimmable lighting, smooth marble countertops, and brushed metal hardware and serene outdoor wall art sculptures are some of the things that complete the decor. Handcrafted sinks made of glass, metal, or ceramic add to the luxury and uniqueness. Shades of calming off-white and grounding brown enhance the serenity you would anticipate at a spa.

Solutions for Small Spaces

Decorating small bathrooms is a trend that has generated a lot of décor tips and suggestions. One of these is to install a pedestal sink to replace a bulkier vanity or countertop. Bathroom items can be stored on wall shelves or mirror-fronted cabinets that give the appearance of a more open space. Keeping the colors light and the decorative items limited and streamlined also works beautifully for a small space. Additionally, increasing the light in the bathroom through adding more light fixtures or installing a window can dramatically enhance the ambience.
