As with most things nowadays, bathroom trends come and go – but we’re sure these bathroom design trends are here to stay for 2022, and hopefully for many years to come. From plants to murals, plus a quality range of bathroom wall and floor tiles, there are plenty of 2022 bathroom design trends that we’re certain will elevate the look of your bathroom space and bring it a new lease of life.
Whether you’re looking to completely redesign the aesthetic of your bathroom or you’d like to add some simple touches to revive its elegance, our ideas can help.
In an era where we’re all being pushed to go ‘green’ with our energy usage, we’re also obsessing over bringing greenery into our homes. Plants and interior design have gone hand in hand for a good few years now – and bringing the outdoors into your bathroom is a 2022 design trend that everyone is buzzing about.
Biophilia is a trend we’re seeing increasingly in the bathroom, with homeowners incorporating plants and nature into their spaces with the aim of achieving a beautiful interior that offers some wellbeing benefits, too. Of course, you don’t have to go over the top and transform your bathroom into a jungle – putting a few small plants could create a more unwinding bathroom space for you to relax. This trend is destined to dominate bathrooms for years to come!
Try Japandi style
A combination of pastoral Scandinavian style and traditional Japanese minimalism, Japandi is a design style that is flourishing and trending for all the right reasons. Natural wood, neutral colours, and simple lines make this emerging design trend a popular choice for bathrooms. This style exudes serenity, making it ideal for achieving a spa-like atmosphere in your bathroom.
For a balanced look, incorporate components from both styles, contrasting Japanese elements with clean lines and gentle Scandinavian curves. These contrasting textures are a terrific technique to give a design scheme a sense of depth.
Go green (literally!)
Popular colour palettes for bathrooms can change from time to time, but the green bathroom colour scheme is currently expanding and has a variety of options emerging from this new obsession. There is rising demand for green in all hues, from the rich and royal shade of emerald to the earthy and pastel greens like sage. We are experts in colour as well as tiles – we know all about the latest tile trends, too.
What is the most common bathroom size?
The most common size of a bathroom in the UK is around 2.4m x 1.8, or 4.4m2 – that’s not that big at all. An average functional family bathroom is often around 2m × 2m in size and should generally include:
A bathtub with an above shower
A wash basin
A toilet
Some useful furniture, such as wall-mounted storage
Bath designs are another big design choice you have to make – bath trends change a lot.
What facilities are popular in new bathroom installations at the moment?
While design styles are important, functional bathroom facilities are just as – if not more – essential. Though it might seem straightforward to know what a bathroom needs, there are some smaller choices that could change the overall look and feel of your space.
For example, does your modern bathroom renovation need shower screens or a modern shower curtain? Or, do you require curved lines in your grouting?
Let’s take a look.
Open showers
Bathrooms are shunning smaller shower enclosures in favour of larger ones – a trend taking flight in 2022. Choosing wet rooms and larger, more open shower facilities will help your interiors feel more sumptuous. These offer a sense of space, making them a fantastic option for smaller bathrooms. Walk-in showers have also been shown to be easier for accessibility, making showering somewhat simpler. There are some great concept showers out there waiting to be discovered.
Coloured ceramics
While neutral colours like whites and greys are seen to create a more luxurious atmosphere, going bold is just as popular in 2022. Like the bathrooms of the 1970s, coloured ceramics for bathtubs and basins have returned, but now they are available in a variety of lovely, modern hues.
Smart and hidden storage, such as floating cabinets, is an excellent storage choice. Opt for a range of colours by checking out the latest bathroom colour trends. Smart storage cabinets and units look amazing in minimalist bathrooms and are a wise option for smaller spaces.
