Design trends constantly come and go, and when it comes to your bathrooms, an upgraded design not only screams luxury but is also something that can add value to your home. Therefore, you always want to make sure you are choosing the most up-to-date finishes and styles to maximise your space, while retaining a timeless feel.

From tiles to bathtubs and basins, here are the five bathroom design trends that are going away in 2024:

Bathrooms That Don’t Match The Rest Of The Home

Authenticity is increasingly important in every element of the home so the bathroom design should match the overall vibe of the home rather than being incongruous with the rest of the home. For example, a traditional style home should not have a modern bathroom and vice versa. 

Au Revoir to All-White

Long gone are the days where all-white bathroom were plastered all over our social media feeds. As with all trends, the all-white bathroom was cyclical, resulting in a recent resurgence in the embrace of colour and texture in the past few years.

Banishing Built-In Bathtubs

It’s no secret that built-in bathtubs have been dramatically waning in popularity for over a decade, and instantly make a space look dated. Instead, there is a significant shift towards the freestanding bathtub, which if often chosen as the bathroom’s focal point. The freestanding tub not only provides an important wellness function but also makes an artistic statement.

Shifting Away From Frameless Glass

While frameless glass shower enclosures remain popular, there is a growing shift toward more private, cosy showers with partition walls that are tiled. We suggest onyx-effect and marble-effect porcelain for a luxury look.

No To Neutrals

As with all-white bathrooms, a totally neutral colour palette lacking different tones is increasingly becoming viewed as bland and boring. We are seeing more colour overall exemplified in bold wallpaper choices and patterned tile work. There is a move away from needing to match metals and hardware with more elevated looks involving a mixing of materials.

We suggest going particularly bold in design with your powder rooms, as they are the perfect size for experimentation in a way that isn’t overwhelming!
