Turn your bathroom into the sanctuary you deserve! If you’re ready to transform your bathroom from blah to beautiful then read-on to learn all about the trends that making waves in 2019.
The Statement Basin
Out are the days of generic white ceramic sinks, and in are the days of basins that scream luxury and personality. We are spoiled for choice when it comes to shape, material and colour, so what’s actually trending and not just an overstatement? Vessel style basins that are mounted onto the vanity as opposed to being recessed add a definite touch of luxury and style to your bathroom. If you’re after something simple and elegant, a vessel basin might be the touch your bathroom needs. Coloured basins are also increasing in popularity with tiled basins also offering that extra wow-factor. If you want to opt for a coloured basin, beware that this will probably be the focal point of your bathroom so make a wise decision as to what colour you would like to carry throughout the rest of the space.
Natural Is In
Natural stones are making their way into more and more bathrooms, and for good reason, they are beautiful and wear better in the wet environment than wood. If you don’t have the budget or capacity to completely retile your bathroom with luxurious hand-cut marble, then accessories are a much more feasible way to go. For example, terrazzo is making the rounds at the moment, and you can hop on the bandwagon by getting a terrazzo soap dish or toothbrush holder. Likewise, you can also opt for a coloured marble to add some more personality to the space.
You can find these accessories online at CB2.
Embrace greenery
Bathrooms can often have a clinical feel if they don’t have personal touches of style added to them. Adding some greenery can add depth and a touch of nature to your bathroom, plus, they are an extremely easy way to add colour without feeling overwhelmed. You can also spruce up the space by adding soft-coloured bath towels that complement the colour of the plant you have chosen. Moreover, you can choose a plant that thrives in a damp environment, so you don’t have to worry too much about keeping it alive!
It’s All About The Light
Having great bathroom lighting should always be a priority, but it can also be used to make the space feel more inviting and luxurious. Pendant lights have made their way into more bathroom designs and can create a sense of grandeur even in small spaces. To ensure the pendant light still remains practical, pick a style that best suits the entire theme of the bathroom and position it so that the space is illuminated in the best way possible and the lighting acts in your favour. If you’re one to stray away from bolder statements, vanity lighting is also another beautiful way to incorporate styled lighting into your bathroom. Back-lit mirrors and under-vanity lights are also much less obvious than pendants so won’t draw the eyes away from any other statement features you have in your bathroom.
