New-Look Bathrooms

Be inspired to transform your bathroom from dreary to divine with these key trends.

Plastic Fantastic
For sophisticated glamour environmentally friendly style, go for chunky trough-like sinks and freestanding rectangular and curved tubs made from 50% recycled plastic and 50% polyester resin, in a choice of hot colours and speckled finishes. Complement with modern materials: cool white tiles on the floor and walls, mirrors and shiny stainless steel taps and fixtures.

Concrete Chic

Concrete is the hippest material du-jour, and not confined to use outdoors. If you want to make a style statement in your bathroom this year, do so with non-conventional decorative elements such as this trough-like suspended, double cement basin, offset with wall mounted mono mixer taps. Keep the look simple and sophisticatedly modern, taking inspiration from the locker room. Complement with cool grey or dark slate tiles underfoot and warm walls and ceiling with juicy red paint. Set the scene with recessed lighting on dimmer switches so you can control the mood.

Colour Vision

Colour is back in the bathroom this year with a bang. Recessed spots in the ceiling set the mood and bounce light off the coloured floor creating an ethereal glow. The look is sleekly modern with huge sculptural looking bamboo adding to the overall feeling of wow.

Wet Room

If you’re after a modern, unfussy look, why not transform your bathroom into a wet room. Cover the entire floor in the same tile, and subtly define the shower area from the dry area with a sheer floor to ceiling glass panel fitted with a long, stainless steel, pencil handle. Replace one wall with glass blocks to let in maximum light, and accessorise with a stainless steel pedestal sink, mirrors and a simple table and chair.

Back to Nature

Cool, calm and refreshingly simple. A sanctuary of soft sensuous curves and smooth surfaces, each piece should aim to create an aesthetically appealing atmosphere, one of regeneration and privacy. Matching furniture with solid wood front panels and a wood veneer frame in walnut complement the sanitaryware perfectly, while the absence of handles and metal fittings continue the simplicity of the design.

Sanctuary Sleek
The bathroom is not just for washing in; it’s for relaxing and chilling out. Kit out your bathroom simply with a big freestanding tub (perfect for a long soak), double shower, and sculptural looking towel rad that can warm not just towels but the room too. Lay natural stone tiles underfoot and cover one wall in glazed terracotta tiles for a splash of cool, sparkling colour.

Sweet Simplicity

When it comes to sanitaryware, white is still the firm favourite. We love this effortlessly stylish Tefeli suite by Vogue Bathrooms, with its combination of clean lines and curved styling. Add a touch of spa style with a corner whirlpool bath. For a fresh feel paint walls and ceiling in white and leave windows undressed to allow light to flood the room.

Contemporary Country

The country bathroom is back big time in 2004, with a contemporary twist of course. Classic white ceramics and sleek chrome fittings can be contrasted with oak veneer free-standing furniture and hardwearing textured fronts, and the look is kept simple and honest with warm creamy walls and natural stone flooring underfoot. Sculptural plants in big terracotta pots work really well with this look.

Bath Art
Forget cluttering your bathroom with furniture and fittings, this year sees the return of the baths as the star, and only attraction, and the bigger the better.
