Bathroom Trends For 2021
Many of us have spent more time than ever in our homes during 2020; it comes as no surprise then, that many of us are looking to freshen things up for 2021. A bathroom makeover can help transform your home and keep it feeling stylish as we head into 2021. But what are the trends to look out for in the upcoming year that can make your bathroom feel like a contemporary interior design masterpiece?
Nature
We are all about the natural world as we try to bring some of the outdoors into our indoor living spaces in 2021. With a focus on the environmental world, we are inspired by nature's beautiful shapes, colours, and textures. So if you are an eco-lover like David Attenborough, then do away with the hard edges and embrace a more flowing feel with the curves of this Freestanding Slipper Bath.
There are many other simple methods of creating a more natural feeling bathroom.
- Shells: Clamshells can make excellent soap dishes, while spiral conch shells or natural sponges can be an eyecatching natural ornament on any shelving unit
- Plants: Aloe Vera is a great plant to have in any bathroom. It is relatively low maintenance, but this beautiful succulent is also calming and can come in various shapes and sizes. So just as good for the compact ensuite as it is for a sprawling master bathroom.
- Natural materials: Any natural materials such as wood or stone are also a great addition. Consider using natural-looking ceramics to complement your garden feel. This Flowerpot Washbasin is an excellent example of an eye-catching design that makes you feel like your bathing in a luscious tropical rainforest.
Functionality
Urban living means that many of us live in compact apartments, so functionality is key to creating a bathroom that meets the demands of 2021. Small bathrooms can be modernised just as easily as their larger counterparts. With less room for fuss, each element has to be chosen for maximum impact.
- Consider your lighting. If you have an internal bathroom or one with a small frosted window, natural daylight might be limited. Make the most of your space by choosing gleaming surfaces, such as this Porcelain Tile finish that will brighten up any room.
- Think vertically. While your floorspace might be limited, your bathroom may still have height. Make the most of this by placing cabinets on the walls. Adjustable shower frames will allow you to make your design feel bespoke even in more unusual bathroom configurations.
- Declutter. If you like to fill your bathroom with trinkets, consider a purge. It is amazing how refreshing this can feel, especially if the bathroom starts to get crammed with stuff. A cleanse can help you reclaim the space and helps your central bathroom features standout. Utilise your cabinet space to hide away all of those creams and lotions you may have to ensure that your bathroom feels clean, crisp, and ordered.
Luxury
It is fair to say that many of us will be looking to treat ourselves, heading into 2021. Luxury doesn't always mean a high price point, though. With a few simple additions, any bathroom can feel like a space we want to spend time within.
- Fun colours. Bathrooms don’t need to be porcelain white anymore. Add a splash of colour with a Blush Pink Vanity Unit with Pebble Worktop. Selecting a few bold and vivid coloured feature items can make your bathroom feel contemporary, fresh, and might bring a smile to your face on those early mornings before work.
- Double up. If you are always fighting over who gets to the sink first in the morning, consider a stylish Double basin vanity unit. Double basins will be a massive 2021 trend as we are spending more time together as couples and families sharing the same living space.
- Quality goods. Accessorise your bathroom with high-quality soaps, balms, and other bathroom accessories. They will feel great to be pampered with, and they will also add a touch of class that shows any guest how much you care about their experience.
Remember, whatever your bathroom style, shape, or size, 2021 can be the year to make it into a perfect haven in the home. Consider how you can introduce luxury, nature, and functionality into your home with a bathroom upgrade for 2021. Redesigning your bathroom to be bang on-trend doesn't need to break the bank. Upgrading even just a few of your bathroom fixtures can instantly create a more contemporary feel, giving your home the boost it might need.
