Over the past few years, the bathroom has evolved from being a mostly functional space to a more luxurious place of therapy and sanctuary from the stresses and strains of life. This is reflected in the latest bathroom trends, which combine smart technology to make using the bathroom easier and more enjoyable, with beautiful modern designs.
Here’s a look at some of the leading design trends that you will see in 2024.
The New York subway tile pattern is a trend that is not going anywhere fast. The modern twist for 2024 will be the vertical tile stacking method. This creates narrow vertical lines that can add height to a smaller bathroom, so it is well suited for en-suite bathrooms and cloakrooms.
For an extra dimension of interest and character, look for textured clay fired tiles or Italian polished porcelain tiles in strong earthy tones.
Homeowners with larger bathrooms are seeking to emulate the spa room ambience of high-end hotels, with soothing colour schemes in cool colours such as green, blue, and white. The so-called ‘spathroom’ includes not just the essentials but also a relaxation spot with a comfortable chair or window seat.
This allows the occupant room to carry out beauty rituals or just meditate for a few minutes before getting in the bath or shower. As we invest more in the aesthetics of the bathroom, the more time we are inclined to spend in them for soul-restoring relaxation and therapy moments.
Large format tiles are a standard feature for flooring in commercial spaces. Throughout 2024, expect to see them take off as a domestic tile trend in bathrooms and also other areas of the home such as hallways, kitchens, and utility rooms. They can help to open up a space and make a room feel bigger.
Integrated wireless technology now means that the smart bathroom is within reach of more of us, rather than being a feature reserved for high-end projects. Smart features you can expect to see a lot more of over the next year include the following:
LED interactive mirrors. Mirrors are no longer simply polished pieces of glass to assist with shaving or applying makeup. They are now integrated with smart technology and bluetooth speakers, and can respond to voice commands, tell the time or give news and travel updates to busy commuters getting ready for work.
Smart showers that can control temperature, shower duration, water pressure, and even the music you listen to are becoming more popular. They are not only more convenient to use, but can also save water and help to cut down on your energy bills.
Smart toilets have been popular in Japan for decades, but are only just taking off here in the UK. However, you can expect to be enthroned in style in 2024, with heated seats, built-in bidets, and adjustable self-cleaning jets.
