A well-designed bathroom can be a luxurious and relaxing sanctuary in your home, offering a space to prepare for the day ahead or rest once it is done.
Over the years, new bathroom renovations and styles have trended towards creating spaces that maximise storage and functionality while also being visually appealing. The most popular recent trends are tailored towards creating a spacious and aesthetically pleasing oasis that provides you with greater functionality.
While we hone in on the most popular recent bathroom finish trends, it’s still important to touch on the broader design trends of the last few years. Both small and large bathrooms have been increasingly styled with low-maintenance plants that add stunning pops of colour to the space and create a spa-like feeling.
As always, bathroom fixtures and wall finishes accompany these more prominent design decisions. To maximise the serenity of your bathroom, carefully consider everything from large design decisions to intricate bathroom finishes.
Trendy Bathroom Finishes
There are a number of stylish bathroom finishes that are growing in popularity. Finishes refers to the different elements on the surface of fixtures or tiles that create unique differences in the final appearance of the bathroom. Some of our favourite finishes this year include:
1. Satin White Tiles
Satin white tiles are one of our favourite bathroom wall finishes. This sleek and modern tile is not only the perfect balance between honed and polished tiles, it reflects more light than matte tiles, creating a brighter and more open look in your bathroom. The softer appearance of the satin white tile can also be maintained for many years, as it is easy to wash and clean.
2. Rural Oak Vanity
Rural oak chalk (textured) is a bathroom vanity wood finish that has taken the bathroom design industry to new heights. A Laminex product, this is one of the top trending colours, with a mid-tone warm woodgrain with an oak structure and a slightly weathered finish. Vanities, cabinets and tallboys in rural oak add some much-needed warmth to bathrooms that are looking to create an idyllic atmosphere.
3. Bench-Top Finishes
There are a number of additional trendy benchtop finishes that can be incorporated into your bathroom. Recent years have seen the rise of natural and raw benchtop finishes, which can be used as a decorative element on vanities, side tables and bath caddies. The extensive variety of stylish benchtop finishes, including stone, solidsurface, ceramic and quartz gives homeowners and designers the flexibility to create a simultaneously luxurious and relaxing bathroom environment.
4. Matte-Black Fixtures
Matte black is one of the most sophisticated bathroom fixture finishes. This classic finish has become increasingly popular in the design space, and has given homeowners the opportunity to make a stylish, yet bold statement in their bathrooms. Matte black fixtures have the added advantage of being easy to clean and maintain. They look fantastic when paired with timber and concrete finishes.
