Top Bathroom Design Trends for 2018

In the modern times Bathroom has become more of a personal sanctuary instead of a place to wash off the grit. It is your personal spa where u can relieve your daily stress and relax. Bathrooms are the indicators of a person’s hygiene and sense of cleanliness and aesthetics, so don’t take decorating bathrooms lightly. When it comes to renovating or decorating a bathroom a lot of your personal creativity and sense of visuals comes into play, in fact I have noticed that about 75% or more guests normally remark on a scrumptiously designed Washroom that is spick and span. No matter how the different or weird sense of Bathroom Fashion comes, people will still love the simple and elegant design with “All White’ or neutral undertones, unique lighting fixtures, trendy and three-dimensional tiles with few small bathroom plants & plenty of sunshine coming through. The perfect fusion of a modern Bathroom would be Classic and Smart Technology integrated as this would enhance the long-term value as well give a custom outlook. Let’s begin with the latest Washroom Trends that are blazing high and hotter this year,

Washrooms are Getting Efficiently Smaller

The 2018 bathroom interior design trend will be towards smaller bathrooms with a focus on efficiency and small-scale luxury. The secret to making small bathrooms comfortable, and not cramped, is the efficient use of available real estate. Every inch must be put to good use. You will see freestanding single-person tubs starting to get more popular. Smaller but artfully designed toilets and smaller uniquely designed sink bowls will also begin to make a presence in the bathroom. As with large bathrooms, small bathrooms can also be decked out in wall patterns or interesting floor graphics especially those that make the room feel bigger. So for small homes of 5 or 10 Marla, you can still renovate your washrooms with the magazine-style look if you keep all these factors in mind.

Bathrooms Go High-Tech & The use of Smart Gadgets

The 2018 high-tech toilet will see things like seat warmers, automatic lid openers and slow close features, an adjustable air dryer, built-in deodorizers and so on. Another feature available, that I bet you never thought of, is a wireless music player that automatically turns on when the lid is opened.  It shuts off when the lid is put back down. This is extreme innovation slowly picking up a fast trend in Asian Countries too. The entire bathroom will see a few innovations in 2018. You can have a smart shower that automatically knows your preferred temperature and turns on your favorite tunes during shower time. Or you can add a small fridge to your bathroom cabinetry to keep medicine and drinks cool. There are also faucets that turn on automatically when you put hands under them and turn off when you are done. Touch-free toilets and other smart plumbing increase your energy efficiency. 

Brass and Gold Tone Fixtures are making a Comeback

Here is to the lovely new warm toned gold plumbing fixtures will become your new go to.  This new tone twist is the perfect complement to the cooler gray paint colors that have become extremely popular in recent years.   The warm gold tone adds just the right amount of depth, dimension, and luxury feels to any space.

Homeowner’s love the change to warmer accents with the brass/gold toned bathroom fixtures versus the traditional shiny polished chrome which conveys a more cool, modern, and sleek feel. Offered in new finish options like in satin, matte, and spun gold this subtle change is just what was needed to add that classic traditional element to any space.  With the added bonus of keeping fingerprints and water spots hidden. This warmer tone has become the accent pieces of a room, with complementing hardware, light fixtures, and mirrors as well.

Vanity Lighting

The 2018 bathroom design trends lend ones to focus on lighting schemes.  To highlight this most functional space, homeowners are using creative lighting techniques, fixtures, and dimmers to create a luxury and relaxing feeling.

There are many lighting styles you can use for the vanity area including light bars and wall sconces, but don’t forget about using small pendants as well. They can be a stunning addition plus it is also a common fashion to install a fancy chandelier near the whirlpool tub to add an element of glamour and glitz.

Underfloor Heating Systems and Under Counter Appliances

Adding a heating system under your floor can be a good investment as walking on cold bathroom tiles are a pain when the temperature outside is dropping. Underfloor heating can be used with a variety of flooring options like:  tile, concrete, vinyl, and wood to name a few.   But in a bathroom, the cold tile can transform into a beautiful soothing warm floor.  Heating systems not only provide heat, but they can also reduce noise levels and possible allergic reactions since there are no air currents disturbing dust.

Unique Tiles

This year try out a different shaped tile perhaps hexagon, diamond, Moroccan fish scales, or Chevron patterns in new color and textures. These eye-catching shapes will not just grace the floor either; they will also be used as bathroom backsplashes, on shower walls, and possibly ceiling accents to create the bold accents we so desire.

Bold Accent Wall and Floors

An accent wall is like a limelight catching attention, so adding ceramic and porcelain tiles to the floor will be a show stopper! Keep the bathroom more subtle and neutral. Then consider natural stone in a textured and/or stacked pattern to highlight the shower or an area behind the vanity.  Or look at the point above.  Shaped tiles, in subtle colors, make just the perfect accent piece as well.  Plus, you can put them just about anywhere in a bathroom.

Let the Sunshine in

A well-placed window, allowing the sun to shine in, will completely transform your bathroom. There is no denying that natural light is the ultimate choice in any room, so if your bathroom allows for it, this is an excellent addition to your revamped bathroom.
