Bathroom design is an area of interior design that’s constantly evolving. Trends come and go. In the past, people were obsessed with materials like faux marble and granite. Nowadays they’re a little more refined. Understanding what the latest trends are can be very inspiring and make your life considerably easier. Familiarizing yourself with them will give you different options to explore and enhance your creativity. This post will talk about eight trends in bathroom design. These eight are arguably the most popular right now, and therefore, worth looking into. Read on to find out more.

1. Replacing Appliances

One of the biggest trends in bathroom design right now is completely tearing out and replacing appliances and fittings. Modern appliances and accessories are much more advanced than the ones you might have installed in your bathroom. Make sure that when you are shopping for appliances, you take some time to work out a budget. Purchasing new bathroom appliances can be very expensive, making it something you might want to do in stages. Remove and replace appliances over the course of a few years. By staggering replacements, you will be able to save yourself money in the short-term. If you do not have enough money to buy even one appliance, you will be pleased to know that you can usually buy them on credit. Pay-in-three platforms make it possible for you to split the cost of purchases and break them down into more affordable monthly installments.

2. Refurbishing Existing Appliances

Another trend in bathroom design, especially with people who’re concerned about sustainability, is refurbishing existing appliances. Instead of buying new ones, why not fix the ones you already have? Fixing old appliances can be a good way to reduce your environmental impact. According to a team of experts in Bathtub Refinishing & Reglazing Specialists from Orlando, refinishing your bathtub can be a great way to extend its lifespan. You can extend the life of other appliances, too. If you are unsure how to, consider turning to internet guides. There are a large number of them available for free. In terms of hiring contractors to work on your bathroom for you, you need to find one who’s qualified and experienced. Always read customer feedback before working with a contractor. The reviews left by past customers can tell you a lot about a contractor.

3. Minimalist Design

In terms of actual design trends, minimalism is one of the most popular. More people are adopting it than ever before. One of the reason that minimalism is so popular is because it allows people to save money, without compromising on functionality. Functionality is a very important part of minimalism. Each item in one’s bathroom has to serve a purpose (or multiple purposes). If you are interested in a minimalist interior, then shop around and find the best retailers you can. Minimalist retailers do usually charge a lot for their products, so again, work out a budget. You can use a budgeting app to do this if you are not comfortable doing it yourself.

4. Maximalist Design

Maximalism is the complete opposite of minimalism. It involves overloading one’s interior with as many things as one can afford to. Maximalism is quickly becoming a popular trend in bathroom design. If maximalist design interests you, consider conducting a little bit of online research and finding out what it entails. Maximalism is not for everybody. For some people, it is too much. Whether you are able to effectively incorporate maximalism into your bathroom depends on your personality and the size of your house, as too many bathroom appliances and accessories could overwhelm a small space.

5. Walk-in Showers

A trend in bathroom design right now is the walk-in shower. Walk-in showers give people the opportunity to wash themselves without having to climb in and out of a bathtub. Slips and falls in bathtub showers are a lot more common than you might think. People die on a regular basis due to them. A walk-in shower is one of the most effective ways of cleaning your body without risking your health. Still, it is possible to slip and fall over in a walk-in shower, so make sure you take steps to protect yourself by being responsible and always pay attention.

6. Coloured Tiles

The installation of colored tiles can be another effective way for you to refresh your bathroom and keep up with the latest trends. One of the best things about color tiles is that you do not need to employ a professional to fit them for you. As long as you have the right equipment, you can do all the work yourself. Make sure that if you are going to do colored tiles yourself, you are meticulous and properly fit each tile so that it’s in line with all the others. One wonky tile can ruin your bathroom’s appearance.

7. Large Mirrors

Mirror has never been more popular. It is possible to buy smart mirrors. If you have a sizable budget and you want to improve your bathroom, a smart mirror is worth looking into. If your budget does not extend to bathroom gadgets though, an ordinary but large mirror is a great alternative. Make sure that when you are shopping for mirrors, you think about your home's current aesthetic. If you buy a mirror that is too big or too small or not in keeping with the rest of your home’s aesthetic, it is not going to look good.

8. Extra Ventilation

Finally, install as much ventilation in your bathroom as possible. In the past, people's bathrooms typically only had one small vent on the ceiling and then a window. Some bathrooms do not even have windows. Poorly ventilated bathrooms tend to become very damp, which increases the chances of mold growing. Make sure you add as much ventilation to your bathroom as you can so that you can prevent mold from growing. Mold growth can cause serious harm to people with allergies and people who are sensitive to it.

Your bathroom is arguably one of the most important rooms in your house. It’s where you’ll clean yourself and go to the toilet. You need to make sure it looks great. Many people let their houses down by investing lots of time and money into every room other than their bathroom. Don’t do this.
