5 Current Hot Bathroom Trends in 2018

With so many fleeting fashion fads it can be difficult to know what is in now, and what will last and be relevant in the future, especially with so much choice and so much opinion.

There has and always will be the occasional bathroom product which once seemed revolutionary and life changing which sadly falls into an abyss of obscurity.  However at BATHLINE we have selected five current trends which will not only add style and functionality to your bathroom but will create a sense of luxury and add value to your home for years to come.

Monochrome Colour Scheme

One design trend that is destined to stay is monochrome. The term monochrome means varying tones of one colour referring to a palette of black, white and occasionally grey. With an unlimited choice of patterns and textures, you can incorporate monochrome in any part of your bathroom from tiles and wall panelling to sanitaryware and brassware.

There’s no coincidence that most bathroom images you see in an interior design magazine will feature a monochrome palette. Black and white will always remain classy, bringing out the best in each other; the depth of black and the pureness of white.

Monochrome can bring so many advantages to your washroom, creating the illusion of a bigger room whilst never feeling old, providing your home with that contemporary touch while also staying elegant, classic and simple. There are so many ways you can adapt monochrome to your own tastes, whether it’s to create a stark contrast or a seamless blend of tones. It something you won’t regret.

 

Digital Showers

With greater demand for luxury and convenience, it’s no surprise that digital technology has found its way into our bathrooms transforming the way we wash.  Gone are the days where running water in another room interfered with the temperature of your shower, causing you to jump out and shout at your loved ones.

Digital showers give you ultimate control over your showering experience providing you with a variety of programmable functions to suit your lifestyle and give you with a few minutes to embrace some peace and tranquillity.  These include warm-up modes, clock displays, shower timers, bath-fill settings, eco-settings and multiple shower head options.

Digital showers provide a blend of functionality and style, not to mention quick and easy installation. With manufacturers embracing the digital age, you are able to switch function at a touch of a button, removing the need for additional pipework.  It’s safe to say, the digital evolution has only begun in your bathroom. Look out the latest technology advancements to come.

 

Coloured Metallic Brassware

The decision of what bathroom taps to choose for your washroom is now as important as any other when planning a new bathroom.  No longer just an afterthought to compliment your sanitaryware, deciding the colour and style of your brassware is essential to the co-ordination of your bathroom.

Whilst Chrome has been the go to for quite some time, the embracement of Brass, Gold and Matte Black Brassware provides the perfect complement to a monochrome scheme.  This bold new trend, separating from the traditional norm provides a stand-out feature and blends into contemporary or traditional bathroom setting.

Offering a refreshing change to chrome, Coloured Metallic Brassware is an emerging trend in bathroom and interior design. With brand collections such as the Aqualla Ramore, Crosswater MPRO and Hansgrohe AXOR providing unique solutions to suit your own individual style, and give your new bathroom an exclusive look and feel.

 

Metal Framed Shower Screens

Shower enclosures have moved to forefront of bathroom design with the metal framed shower screens providing a bathroom focal point, not just an accessory. With a vast range of choice from colour and layout to style and function, the only limitation is your imagination.

For many years chrome and glass have been the two fundamental components of the shower door.  This has changed with metal framed shower screens offering to complement the latest trends bringing style, class and quality to your bathroom.

Metal framed shower screens offer a linear, architectural look and feel for your bathroom. When paired with luxurious marble it provides a very high-end finish, but they are equally at home with tiles to create a more industrial atmosphere.

 

Patterned Tiles

Patterned tiles are a hot trend that’s not going away. Tiles and Panelling allow you to add loads of personality and make your bathroom more interesting, creating a decorating statement. Patterns can be vivid and Moroccan, rustic and farmhouse, classical and floral, or modern and geometric. There is no wrong choice – just what you love and are drawn to, the pattern is an expression of you.

There is debate – floors or walls? What works best? Opinion is divided; with many believing the magic has to happen on the floor, while some believe to place patterned tiles on the walls and leave the floor plain. The decision is entirely yours.  You know what you like so embrace it and commit and make a style statement that is all your own.

That’s the beauty of patterned tiles, they are an exhibition of you.
