On Trend – What’s Big for Bathrooms in 2017

If a bathroom renovation is at the top of your wish list for 2017, you’ll want to know about latest trends, fittings and fashions for what is undeniably the most relaxing room in your house. Next year sees a return to natural and functional bathrooms which are pleasing on the eye. Functionality will be paramount, along with design, and good storage options.

Bathroom Style for 2017 

Natural materials allow for multiple possibilities in bathrooms. Stone surfaces which are cool, elegant and luxurious are being favoured by bathroom designers, but wood will also be a popular choice. The key is minimalism with a feature bath becoming the centrepiece and statement of your room.  We’ll see the introduction of black tapware which is bold and fashionable.  An alternative will be brushed tapware which ages well and adds elegance.  Barely-there drains will be neatly concealed through tiling, and far less obvious than chrome grated ones. Natural colours will blend in with natural materials, alongside white, grey and cream will be charcoal and granite.  These darker grey colours work wonderfully well in their different hues and add mood to any bathroom.

How Can I Achieve a Perfect Powder Room? 

Nothing makes guests feel more pampered than a stylish powder room. However small it may be, it shouldn’t be ignored. With creativity and the right features, it can impress your guests.  Even in a confined space you can still create the right style. Keep your mirrors plain so the room doesn’t feel cluttered, simple mirrors create a sleek look. Why not consider a hung vanity with a freestanding basin to free up more floor space? They’re a popular choice in contemporary bathrooms and look very on trend. Floating shelves and display ladders will make your powder room look up-to-date. These ladders are a great alternative to traditional cupboards and will stand out to bring a new dimension to your room. To make your powder room look more inviting consider updating taps for simple designs, this is inexpensive but well worth the effort.

Bathroom Storage Ideas
