BATHROOM TRENDS FOR 2020

You only have to spend a few moments perusing bathroom styles on Instagram, Pinterest or Houzz to realise that bathrooms have made a huge leap from simply being functional rooms for washing to being one of the most beautiful rooms in the home.

With innovative technological solutions, the most advanced thinnest of thin tiles, dark intensely gorgeous colours, imperfect textures and beautifully delicate thin rimmed baths and basins, bathrooms have become the room that most evokes the ‘wow’ from our guests.

If you’re thinking of remodelling your bathroom, let us help you by uncovering 10 of the strongest bathroom trends for 2020 that will transform your bathroom into not only a perfectly functional room but also one of the most stylish in your home.

1 >> Innovative Technology

Smart technological solutions not only mean greater energy savings, since you can simply heat individual rooms rather than the entire house, but also the ability to create different atmospheres depending on your mood.

For a relaxing bath in the evening, simply dim the lighting, light some candles, pour a glass of wine and stream some relaxing music through your cleverly hidden smart speakers. For something more invigorating, brighten the lighting and stream something more uplifting straight through the shower head.

Control temperature, lighting and background music from an app on your smartphone or by voice command. Use clever ‘at home’ simulators when you’re away on holiday.

The Finion range from Villeroy & Boch not only features beautifully elegant designs with very thin yet exceptionally strong ceramic wash basins and baths but it also allows you to create the perfect ambience with carefully placed lighting elements such as a shimmering glow from under the bath or illuminated mirrors and shelves.

Keuco have cleverly designed their light mirrors to create a lovely warm glow rather than an eye dazzling bright light. Not only do their products have dimmable lighting through the press of a button but also colour changing light depending on your mood.

2 >> Elegant, Thin Rimmed Baths And Basins

The newest extremely thin rimmed baths and basins look and feel very elegant in any bathroom. Latest material innovations mean that bathroom products can have really fine edges making them look instantly elegant and delicate, yet deceptively strong.

The newest Cape Cod bathroom series from Duravit and Philippe Stark incorporates just that, with their high grade porcelain finish and elegant fine edges that measure just 5mm in thickness.

3 >> Black Bathrooms

Whether confined to a single wall, an entire room or just the taps, use black as either an accent colour or make it the focus of the room. Black bathrooms are the trend for 2019 and there are no signs of it slowing down in 2020. For some inspiration type #blackbathroom into the search bar on Instagram and look at some of the most stunning bathrooms imaginable.

Team black with copper, gold, brass, white, stone or any shade of wood for a really luxurious and completely on-trend bathroom for 2020.

For a super stylish look, add black accents in the form of black matt taps against a paler Farrow and Ball paint colour such as Setting Plaster or Calamine. Beautiful!

4 >> Minimalist Bathrooms

A minimalist no clutter bathroom is on trend for 2020. The bathroom is a space of well being and calm so make use of a minimalist style vanity unit to hide away your toiletries and cosmetics.

Keuco’s latest vanity units from their Plan and Editon 400 collections are beautiful examples of how to maximise storage in the bathroom, whilst still achieving a streamlined, elegant look.

5 >> The Spa Bathroom

The Spa Bathroom is becoming increasingly popular and is looking to be a big trend for 2020.

Create a spa like bathroom in your home for an instant sense of relaxation and calm. Think scented candles, mood lighting, background music, fluffy towels and a soft robe hanging from a hook on the door.

For indulgent bathroom products, why not include a Spa bathtub like the Duravit Luv freestanding bath or upgrade your shower head to an oversized Axor PowderRain model. For some spa like touches to your current bathroom, simply add some underfloor heating and a Zehnder Roda Towel Warmer for that extra cosiness.

6 >> Thinnest of Thin Bathroom Tiles

Advances in digital printing mean that tiles can now be wafer thin without sacrificing strength. There are no limitations in terms of design when it comes to choosing your bathroom tiles. This is where you can be really creative with a pattern, texture or bold colour that will make your bathroom look on-trend and fabulous.

Choose a contemporary tile such as the Palladio Marble Slim Brick Mosaic from Ca’Pietra to create a feeling of luxury and warmth.

7 >> Raw and Imperfect Textures

Natural and imperfect textures paired with clean elegant lines of the latest bathroom products, creates a real sense of being at one with nature and for this particular trend, there is absolutely no need for perfection.

Try incorporating some textured tiles to your bathroom from Porcelanosa’s range of stone, slate and marble for an instant style uplift.

8 >> Water Experiences For All Senses

From revitalising water jet to soft PowderRain, your shower experience need no longer be a ‘one flow suits all’. Brands like Axor creating products like ShowerHeaven, your shower will never be the same again…. In a good way!

Take a shower in perfect lighting with the Axor Nendo whilst streaming your favourite music through hidden Bluetooth speakers.

9 >> Floating Vanities

A floating vanity unit is the most stylish way to hold your toiletries, cosmetics, fluffy towels and spare toothbrushes. They remove the bulkiness of traditional storage units and instead create clean and contemporary lines.

Even better, they are easy to clean under so you can keep your bathroom looking stylish, tidy and immaculate.

10 >> Fabulous Finishes
