1. Eco-Friendly Fixtures and Sustainability
Aligning bathroom design with eco-conscious living will help conserve natural resources and promote sustainability.
The adaptation of eco-friendly designs and practices, such as using recycled or upcycled materials, will conserve water and energy, contributing to a sustainable future. A significant reduction in the use of precious resources can make your living space more eco-friendly.
Examples of eco-friendly fixtures and materials include water-saving taps, low-flow showerheads, dual-flush toilets, energy-efficient LED lights, sensor-based lighting controls, linoleum flooring, natural cleaning products, natural stone, reclaimed wood, recycled plastic, and more.
The Cleargreen Sustain Acrylic Bath is made from 30% recycled materials. The recycled fibreglass and composite baseboards of this eco-friendly bath are sturdier and greener than chipboard, which is an engineered wood product.
You also get a 10-year manufacturer’s guarantee for this lightweight, easy-to-install bath.
2. Spa-Like and Wellness-Centric Bathrooms
Today’s fast-paced life can leave you feeling stressed and depleted more often. At these moments, your bathroom presents you with an opportunity to chill out and recharge.
A well-designed bathroom can function as a getaway from the boredom and pressures of daily life, offering a peaceful escape where you can unwind and rejuvenate after an exhausting day.
Whether it’s energising you for the outside world at the beginning of your day or calming you down at the end of it, your bathroom is the perfect sanctuary for relaxation and self-care.
Examples of spa-like bathroom fixtures include:
Laguna Whirlpool Spa Bath
The six powerful brass jets of the Laguna Whirlpool Spa Bath give you a relaxing hydromassage with the touch of a button.
Sunshower Plus: Small Sand White Infrared Light with UV
The infrared heat energy of the Sunshower Plus promotes blood circulation and muscle relaxation in your shower.
Jaquar Kubix Home Sauna
The Jaquar Kubix Home Sauna boasts a wood hemlock finish and space for two people.
3. Nature-Inspired Designs
Natural materials like stone, wood, and bamboo bring warmth, consistency, and character to your bathroom.
Stone – granite, marble, limestone, or sandstone – is an awesome choice for a natural bathroom. The sense of luxury and timelessness of this material are difficult to match.
Wood is used in different fixtures, such as vanity, panels, furniture, and wall shelves. It’s also used in bathroom floors. Reclaimed wood, cork, pine, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified wood, and eucalyptus are sustainable options that add an eco-friendly touch.
Consider pairing wood accents with neutral colours and muted lighting to make your space feel warm and inviting.
Bamboo is an eco-friendly resource that is rapidly renewable. It’s also biodegradable, disintegrating naturally over time without any lasting negative impact on the environment. Bamboo requires minimal energy to nurture, making it an excellent sustainable material.
Examples of stunning nature-inspired designs:
Natural Stone Basin
The perfectly smooth curves and exquisitely cut edges of the Forzalaqua Firenze Natural Stone Basin can give your bathroom a contemporary appeal. The precision and style of this meticulously crafted travertine washbowl are truly unmatched.
Robin Wood Mono Basin Mixer Tap
The Made in Italy Robin Wood Mono Basin Mixer Tap is unique for its all-natural design.
4. Smart Bathrooms and Technology
Technology is redefining water conservation systems and voice-activated fixtures.
The following are some technological advancements used in eco-friendly bathrooms:
- Touchless taps eliminate the risk of spreading germs and regulate water flow more effortlessly.
- Smart mirrors with LED lights use less power, reducing energy bills and carbon footprint.
- Voice-activated lighting is a unique feature of touchless technology that delivers hygiene and convenience, adding a new level of ease.
- Temperature-controlled showers promote energy efficiency, benefitting the environment and your pocket.
- The latest water usage monitoring systems conserve water resources and prevent wastage. These systems detect leaks, monitor water quality, and optimise its distribution.
- Built-in entertainment from Zuma.ai pairs an immersive loudspeaker with a premium LED light that can be fitted flush into your ceiling.
- Advanced ventilation systems installed in ceilings or walls can prevent mould and maintain better air quality.
The Sensori SmartDial Digital Valve is an ultra-precise digital thermostatic control that can auto-fill your bath and start your shower.
5. Minimalist Luxury
Minimalism is doubtless here to stay. Although minimalism originated in the 1960s, it has only gained prominence in the last few years. The aim is to focus on the essentials while doing away with the unnecessary elements.
The minimalist – less is more – aesthetic exemplifies cleanliness and freshness. The clean lines and clutter-free spaces reduce dust collection points, making cleaning quicker and more efficient.
The floating vanities create free space on the floor, giving the illusion of a larger space.
Minimalism is practical and stress-relieving, inducing a calm, relaxing ambiance. The minimalist luxury design focuses on simplicity and organised space, creating a sense of peace and serenity.
The fully guaranteed, matt green Celeste 600mm Green Wall-Hung Vanity Unit conceals the plumbing, creating a seamless look.
6. Earthy Colours
Earthy tones like terracotta, beige, and olive green reduce the visual burden, resulting in a soft and serene atmosphere. These tones also bring warmth and a natural feel to your bathroom.
As earthy shades enhance a room’s openness, even a small bathroom will feel cosy and grounded.
Earth tones reflect timelessness and versatility, blending to perfection with various design styles—modern, minimalist, and traditional.
The eco-friendly terracotta floor tiles are made using natural clay and earth materials. These highly durable tiles add natural, earthy beauty to your bathroom.
Beige reflects the right amount of light, evoking warmth and familiarity. This earthy shade also offers versatility and design freedom.
Olive green blends delightfully well with natural materials, such as wood and stone, enabling you to create a rustic, charming vibe.
The warm beige finish of the Britton Camberwell 800mm Beige Wall-Hung Vanity will complement a variety of decors.
7. Avocado Bathrooms
Avocado is one of the forgotten shades of the UK’s bathrooms. This shade was popular in the mid-20th century but virtually disappeared in the 1990s.
The avocado bathroom was an iconic design trend of the 1970s. Now, thanks to Gen Z and millennials, avocado bathrooms are back. The resurgence of the avocado colour could be due to the 1970s being back on trend.
Three Premium Avocado Bathroom Fixtures:
Green Freestanding Bath
The BC Designs Esseta Green Freestanding Bath is a timeless statement piece. The soothing, deep green finish will add a classic, naturalistic touch to your bathroom.
Green Wall-Hung Vanity Unit
The eco-friendly Hudson Reed Fluted 600mm Green Wall-Hung Vanity Unit is made from sustainable FSC-certified materials. The lush satin green finish will add a touch of exquisite class to your bathroom.
Green Victorian Traditional Mirror
The luxurious BC Designs Victorian Traditional Mirror is a 21st-century portrayal of an Edwardian (1901–1914) inspired design. The forest green woodgrain finish gives it an elegant feel.
8. Chrome Bathroom Fittings
Chrome is a timeless finish that has never gone out of fashion, right from when it first appeared in the 1920s.
The sleek, reflective shine of chrome can give a clean, contemporary look to your bathroom. You can also count on the classic appeal of chrome to never get dated, even as trends come and go.
Chrome is resistant to corrosion and easy to clean. A quick wipe with a clean cloth soaked in any cleaning product will make it shine as new.
The chrome finish is also relatively consistent across manufacturers. Hence, your taps, handles, and showerheads will match other fixtures seamlessly, complementing various design styles.
The compact design of the Slade Vertical Bathroom Radiator Chrome optimises space. The powerful heat output of this radiator ensures efficient heating and warmth in your bathroom.
9. Feature Walls with Bold Accents
Patterned wall tiles can be used to create striking feature walls. Use large tiles to create a dramatic effect. You can also place the tiles strategically, such as in the shower or behind the vanity/washbasin to add interest without upsetting the overall design.
Bold paint colours, such as red and purple, add instant visual interest, whereas deep blues or rich greys give a more subdued, elegant look.
Textured finishes – surfaces with a rougher finish – can add depth and character to your bathroom. Smooth surfaces like porcelain tiles can be paired with rougher materials like textured wallpaper or natural stone.
Bathroom wall panels serve dual purposes – aesthetic and functional. Wall panelling is available in an assortment of styles, from classic to contemporary 3D designs.
10. Functional Storage
Built-in shelving is an innovative storage solution that maximises storage space. You can organise cosmetics, towels, and other bathroom essentials here and keep them easily accessible. A niche in the shower area can also be a functional storage solution.
Vanity drawers with organisers are ideal for storing smaller items, such as hair accessories, jewellery, and makeup items.
Concealed cabinets are practical storage solutions, enabling you to keep your bathroom clutter-free and yet ensure essentials are easily accessible.
Examples of functional storage:
- Bathroom cabinets and storage solutions include freestanding cabinets, wall-hung cabinets, mirrored cabinets, and tallboy cabinets.
- Vanity units are essential components of a stylish modern or traditional bathroom. The unique designs and fine craftsmanship are the standout features of these fixtures.
