Favourite Bathroom Design Trends

With our changing lifestyles comes the evolution of the modern-day bathroom – now an inartful retreat that evokes feelings of wellness and relaxation in the comfort of our own home! 

Much like the rest of the home, bathroom styles and designs vary around the world based on culture and lifestyle. One of the beauties of design is when we see these traditional cultures and rituals, it inspires universal trends!  From aesthetics to layout, we share some of our favourite  international bathroom trends for 2021! 

 

 

Design by Vanitas Studio - using a unique tile pattern to be the feature of the bathroom.

Design by Golden - by having the tiles stack vertically it draws your eye up to the skylight.

Tile Play

This can be interpreted one of many ways… from colour, style, format, finish, to physical application… there is no doubt tiles breath life into any bathroom space and play a huge role in the look and feel of a space! 

 

 

Design by Butler Armsden

Design by Butler Armsden – the removal of the ceiling in combination with the continuation of materials from exterior to interior makes the space feel as one.

Design by Ruum &amp; Chamberlain Architects

Design by Ruum & Chamberlain Architects – the floor to ceiling glass pane opens up the bathroom to the surrounding outdoor environment.

Blurred Lines

These days bathrooms focus a lot on being an escape from daily life, a time to wind down and relax.  There is so much research out there relating the outdoors with our mental health and wellbeing and it is no wonder that our need to feel closer to nature and our natural surroundings has carried across to bathroom design. More and more we see the boundaries between indoor and outdoor being eased or eliminated entirely. 

 

 

Design by Decus Interiors

Design by Decus Interiors – this bathroom defines the wet space with a change in flooring that highlights the zoned area.

 

Design by Chamberlain Architects

Design by Ruum & Chamberlain Architects – this wet room is made to open up the bathroom by using only a pane of glass to separate the wet and dry areas.

Wet Rooms

Originally derived from Japan, the contemporary wet room can have the ability to create a true spa like showering experience at home! By combining and zoning off your shower and bathtub to the rest of the elements within the space it can open up more creative design options – especially when space is limited not to mention they are great for improving ergonomics and accessibility.  

 

 

Our Chapel Hill Residence

Our Chapel Hill Residence – the continuation of materiality transitioning from the bedroom to the bathroom ties the space together.

By Zephyr and Stone

By Zephyr and Stone – this bathroom has been designed to optimise as much space as possible for wardrobe storage.

By Smart Design Studio

By Smart Design Studio – the layout of the bathroom creates a strong flow through the wardrobe and ensuite space.

Open it up!

The open plan ensuite – combining bedroom, walk in robe and ensuite all in one is a trend that is here to stay. The concept may seem like a bold design move but as we see the master suite retreat grow in size and popularity, when designed right,  it really can create the ultimate escape haven (from the kids – haha)!
