Tips for giving your bathroom a new look

For many decorating a bathroom is the most interesting part of interior designing. While the look of the bathroom no longer depends on the decision of your plumber, today there is a multitude of options among which you can choose, depending on the budget and priorities. The emphasis has shifted from pure sustainability and functionality to personalized and comfortable atmosphere of the area. For many people the bathroom is a safe haven used to get away from everyone at the end of a hard day and devote to themselves.


Therefore, it is not uncommon to invest time, effort and of course – material resources in decorating the bathroom. But, a well decorated bathroom is a long term investment, given that its appearance will not change as often as other areas.

Today, increasingly popular are large and spacious bathrooms, which include the classical sanitary and furniture, textiles and high technology. Also, bathrooms are now incorporating more private spaces, such as a changing room enclosure or separate part for makeup. However, the secret to good bathrooms is located in the small luxuries, be it in improved functionality through built-in high-tech, or pure aesthetics through carefully selected decorative pieces.


Since the goal of today’s society is to increase environmental awareness, smart solutions in bathroom interior are increasingly popular. Dual flush toilets that save water have been replaced by the old-fashioned cisterns, while the latest trend is recycling shower water.

Sanitary equipment received a new, sometimes startling form. Classic basins are replaced with unusual design – in addition to the popular straight and simple square lined sinks, big trends are asymmetrical, curved, flat, corrugated or colored sinks.


If you have the opportunity and possibility, we recommend the installation of floor heating, which will also have a positive effect on your health. Furthermore, a very interesting detail that definitely proved to be the leading trend is small, built-in refrigerators. Although at first impression seems harsh, chilled areas are the perfect place where you should keep nail polish, certain medications and organic beauty products.

Three leading styles

As for the overall design of the bathroom, there are three leading trends. The most popular of them, is designs inspired by the spa, which exudes luxury, neatness, high-end functionality and, of course, pure aesthetics. The main objective of this design is to surround yourself with nature, which will help you select the tile textures in natural materials and soothing, earthy colors. Stone and wood are the most popular materials while the best impression might be made by bamboo tiles. Despite the neutral tones, increasingly popular are tiles with hand-painted motifs. The latest trend is a design inspired by traditional Japanese illustrations, dominated by details like the pink cherry blossom and green nightingale on a petroleum-blue background.


If you have a large space available, the options for a personal wellness oasis are plentiful. It is best to invest in a good bath or shower, which is the main part of the bathroom that is credited for your relaxation. So, today there is a very big demand for walk-in showers with built-in massagers, steam, temperature control and audio system. However, classical massage bathtubs are still not losing their popularity.

You will achieve the impression of a spa with wooden or timber blinds, upholstered chairs, stylish wooden cupboards,and moderate lighting. It is very important to close the cabinets to preserve the impression of neatness and clean lines.

Another trend in bathroom design is industrial style, in which samples of raw concrete, metal and stone dominate. In this minimalist design details such as handles for cabinets and mirror frames in a warm bronze color that will bring a touch of warmness in the posh, but cool look of the bathroom are the most important.


The last trend refers to the traditional, somewhat vintage style in the spirit of the Victorian era. In this case it is necessary to pay attention to the choice of materials and avoid synthetic materials such as plastic, to maintain authenticity. Stone, wood, marble, brick and ceramics will be a perfect fit in your vintage bathroom. And the secret of this style is in the details – antique faucets and handles on cupboards, large mirror with impressive frames, and even family portraits or artwork. But most important is the choices of the tub – in this case large, free-standing baths, located in the middle of the room are favored. The colors that are dominant are white, beige, gray, dark blue and gold, while the wallpaper and streaked ornaments are common choice for such bathroom design.
