Your bathroom is a room where you will spend many hours. Whether relaxing in a hot bath after work or taking a shower in the morning. If you hate your bathroom, then you won’t feel relaxed in your home. Whether you have tiles that are a throwback from the 1980’s or a horrifically coloured bathroom suite that you inherited when you bought your home, it’s time to update. So, whats new in bathroom remodeling ? Read on to find out.
Whats New in Bathroom Remodeling : Simplistic and Light
There are many reasons why your bathroom may look dull and dark. You may not have enough natural light, or you may have a dark suite or tiles. Discoloured grout and old shower curtains can also contribute to how dark your bathroom looks. Modern bathrooms are light, airy, they have floating furniture, they are roomy, and the look clean. No matter how much you clean you old bathroom, you will often not achieve the look you want. A bathroom should look clean and hygienic. It’s where you go to get clean. So, how to do keep your bathroom clean and bright? The answer is by using a simplistic approach and avoiding clutter and dark colours.
To create a simplistic and clean feeling for your bathroom, use clean line and minimal colours. Even the smallest of bathrooms can be transformed into a room that looks bright and airy. Mid-century furniture is trending for bathroom remodeling. But if you have a small space, concentrate on not overcrowding and using a minimalist approach.
Whats New in Bathroom Remodeling : Mid Century Modern
The most modern of bathrooms are those that actually use style and design from the mid-20th century. Geometric shapes and natural colours, blended together with straight lines will ensure your bathroom looks bright and airy. If you have room, a modern chair in the corner or a small sofa is trending in modern bathroom design.
Free standing tubs are a focal point for modern bathrooms. Once again, originally popular well over a century ago, white freestanding tubs with old fashioned taps are trending once again. If your bathroom is not big enough to accommodate a bathtub in the middle of the floor and you are limited on space, a walk in shower is another great modern trending design.
Whats New in Bathroom Remodeling : The Minimalist Approach
Although having a free-standing bath tub in the middle of your room may not be deemed to be minimalistic, you can definitely keep accessories down to a minimum. A fresh and clean looking bathroom is one that has no clutter. For a clean approach, don’t leave your shower gel and shampoo out on display. Use built in shelving and cabinetry for the purpose. Your bathroom is not a place for novelty items and sparkles and colour; it is a clean and fresh room where you relax.
To ensure your approach stays minimalist, choose light coloured tiles and splashbacks with geometric shapes. Your mirror should also be geometric and a few light coloured and modern prints could also be hung on your walls.
Small white flower pots on your shelves will add an organic feel, as will greenery. But keep things simple. Bright flowers are not what you need here. Choose a rubber plant that will give a really green and organic approach to your room. If your room is big enough for a freestanding tub, make sure you keep things symmetrical and also ensure you use feng shui when deciding where to place your tub.
Lastly, let’s take a look at the lighting for your new bathroom. If your room is dark, and you don’t have much natural light, don’t panic. A row of spotlights and over-mirror lighting will go a long way in brightening up your once dull and dank room.
If you look at modern bathroom design you will notice floating pedestals and toilets. Toilets like this that have the tank built in don’t just look great, they save room. But be aware that when a problem strikes, they are harder to fix.
