2020 Bathroom Trends

New year, new bathroom? If you’ve yet to be convinced, this list of upcoming trends for 2020 will be sure to sway you towards that bathroom refresh.

Feature walls are making a come back and this year, as Pantone released their Colour Of The Year to be ‘Classic Blue’ - a perfect and fitting colour for a bathroom. Alternatively, if blue doesn’t fit into your ideal bathroom colour scheme, Champagne, light yellow and pumpkin red are also trendy colours this year.

Rainfall shower heads are becoming a popular trend for 2020, bringing a ‘summertime rain’ feel to your shower. They are a more luxurious option and a great subtle upgrade to your bathroom this new year.

The freestanding bathtubs and sinks trend carries over from 2019 to 2020 as a bathroom classic that doesn’t go out of style. They can be made to look modern using stone resin, or more classic with copper, which is why they are such a popular asset to many peoples bathrooms.

Another bathtub related trend for the year is coloured baths. Guaranteed to be the focal point of any bathroom, coloured baths create energy and a more modernistic feel. If you envisage a bolder look for your bathroom, coloured bathtubs could be the way to go.

Brass finishes are another trend that are carrying on into the new year, and one that’s difficult to ever see dropping out of popularity. They are a fantastic way to add an element of luxury and sanctuary, and can be made to create a more classic look with gold, silver or bronze, or a more stylised modern look with rose gold.

Wooden finishes are also a popular pick for 2020, creating a tranquil, calm and naturally luxurious tone for your bathroom, and even more perfect when paired with the trendy freestanding tubs for a spa-like feel.

Integrated lighting is becoming more popular for 2020 and it’s easy to see why. It’s effortless and sleek, not to mention effective and innovative, the perfect way to subtly modernise and upgrade your bathroom.

It’s hard to see high tech pieces ever not being trendy, but in 2020 they are more popular than ever with the increase in smart toilets and their quickly advancing technology.

Future Trends For 2020

As 2019 draws to a close, bathroom trend predictions for 2020 are springing from left, right and centre.  If you’re thinking of giving your bathroom a revamp in the new year, check out these 2020 bathroom trends.

Minimalism

Minimalism is a timeless style that has been popular for many years. It’s classic features of basic colour, shapes and textures making the contents the focal point to create a sleek, stylish and modern feel. It’s also a very practical use for compact living, without compromising luxury over size. Minimalist style mimics a spa and therefore creates a calming and tranquil mood for your bathroom.

Woodworking

Woodworking in bathrooms is inspired by the traditional style Japanese woodwork. The wood replaces ceramic to exude a warmer tone in the bathroom, enabling a smoother transition between rooms, which is especially useful for houses with ensuites. A wooden theme is clean, modern and a more unique change from the slightly more popular minimalism. This trend gains momentum as earth-tone colours become trendier and homeowners seek a warmer tone in their family bathrooms.

Marble

Marble is a timeless trend that has been popular for years, much like minimalism. It is a beautiful stone which exudes luxury and is an artistic statement in itself. It is fresh and decorative, useful when trying to save money on decorations during a renovation.

Colour and material trends

Earth tones like beige, blond, forest green and charcoal are beginning to replace pinks and coppers. Brass, black and white metals are used more frequently to create a dynamic and trendy expression, whilst traditional Moroccan concrete tiles continue to gain momentum, specifically in peach and blush colours.

Functional trends: Elevated tapware

Elevated tap-ware comes back into fashion for 2020, creating simple silhouettes and elegant, clean and classy tones. Many opt for chrome, brushed nickel and matte black tap-ware to enhance this effect.

 Free standing vanities

A smart way to add storage, especially in compact bathrooms, free standing vanities are useful and sleek. They effortlessly blend into the rest of the bathroom without being clunky or in the way and are an easy way to save money during renovation. When paired with a bold colour choice, they can easily be made the focal point of the room.

Task lighting

 Lighting is important in creating the right mood in a bathroom, but it is equally as important to ensure there is enough light to function effectively. In 2020, trends suggest that feature lighting, retro styles and playful shades will be a popular choice in many UK bathrooms.
