2020 Bathrooms

2020 Bathrooms

Style and taste naturally evolve, with the start of a new year regularly producing inspiration and incentive for those who wish to make some changes around the home. Home design has swelled in popularity in recent years, with many opting to showcase their development on social media accounts dedicated to the design of their den.

We’ve scoured the blogs, trawled through Instagram and read the boards of Pinterest, accumulating all of the trends which will feature in bathroom design for 2020. Here is our pick of the best:

·        Funky Fittings.

At long last, fittings and plumbing are receiving the attention that they deserve. More aesthetic fitting options are becoming readily available, leading many designers to leave the pipework visible. Creating a focal point out of something typically hidden helps to bring texture into your bathroom design, which is a huge benefit to those with a small bathroom who previously would’ve installed additional cupboards just to hide some pipes. A huge range of styles and colours are expected to be a staple design feature in 2020, with options such as black, copper and gold surging in popularity.

 

·        Open showers.

Many of those who are lucky enough to have a large bathroom are embracing the luxurious open shower. Having a walk-in shower area free of doors and screens will help to give your bathroom an organic flow whilst still retaining some privacy through clever use of a wall or unit. Alternatively, many are separating their bathing and showering areas with glass walls; creating zones in their bathroom designated to luxurious soaks and energising showers.

 

·        Plants.

2019 appears to have been the year of the houseplant, and 2020 is going to watch it grow even further. Plants most suited to a bathroom would be those typically found in a rainforest – used to low levels of natural light and high levels of humidity. Examples would be ferns, palms, ivy or peace lilies – the last of which also acts as an air purifier.

 

·        Green.

Perhaps due to the abovementioned popularity of houseplants, green is making a huge comeback in home design – even Dulux agree, with their colour of the year Tranquil Dawn. With such a wide range of tones, any mood is possible with green walls – whether you’re looking for a deep jungle environment, moody art deco or a serene Scandi look. We don’t just want green walls – we also want green lives too; many individuals are introducing large changes in their lives to help counteract climate change, tackling issues such as water waste and single use bathroom products. Installing water-saving solutions, such as the Roca W+W not only helps to save the planet, but it also helps to save your budget too.

 

·         Panelled walls.

Tiles are being pushed aside while panels have their long-awaited moment. Not only can panels help to create a seamless aesthetic, but they also reduce the need to regularly refresh bathroom grouting. Kicking out the opportunity for mildew stained tiles and grout provides exceptional product longevity, helping you to keep the dreamy bathroom looking clean and new for longer. Have a look at our supplier Multipanel for their product range.

 


An open shower, stylish black fittings, marble Multipanel and a little green plant - this bathroom is the epitome of the 2020 trends which are sure to last.
