Spring is here, and while spring cleaning is a must for many, so too is the act of sprucing up your home with a fresh transformation. Get the most out of your home by creating the right atmosphere for the slightly warmer months.
Ultimately, the more modern and comfortable a space is, the more use you’ll get out of it. The bathroom is often neglected, so make it your mission to give it a refresh in time for spring.
Here are some emerging trends for bathrooms that you may want to tap into.
Smart Technology
While you might not associate technology with the bathroom, it can make more of a difference than you might expect. Think heated flooring to warm yourself up while you complete your nighttime wind-down routine. Nothing screams luxury like getting out of the shower or the bath onto a heated surface.
Beyond this, you could opt for illuminated mirrors that create a gentle glow when you get ready in the morning. You could also invest in smart taps that use automation and sensors to improve hygiene. They can help to save water and reduce your water bills over time too.
Spa-like Atmosphere
Instead of travelling for a spa experience, bring it home so you can indulge in a slice of it every day. Adding a spa-like feel doesn’t mean breaking the bank. Making selective décor choices to enhance the space can make a huge difference. Upgrade your towels to large, fluffy bath sheets and appeal to the senses with diffusers and candles.
Reduce any clutter and make sure everything has a home, whether that’s in a pot, on a tray or tidied away in a cupboard. It’s all about creating a calming atmosphere as opposed to a space filled with clutter. Having too many objects and products also makes it harder to keep the room clean.
Biophilic Design
Biophilia focuses on the use of natural materials to bring the outdoors inside. The goal is to create a relaxing environment that taps into the role that nature plays in this.
Embrace the concept of humans interacting with nature through house plants in the bathroom – just make sure you research the species that are more likely to thrive here.
Another simple touch is to routinely let the fresh air circle through the space. Then, beyond the touches of natural décor, you can enhance your bathroom using natural materials like wood and stone.
Have a look into cooler and warmer tones to work out what might suit your bathroom the best. Imperfect ceramics and sculptures can also add to this look.
Statement Pieces
Although minimalism has been all the rage in recent years, more and more people are turning to maximalism.
So long as you don’t mistake this trend for cluttering your space, you can enjoy a functional yet vibrant bathroom. Keep the space clean and hygienic, just with added personality.
Tap into maximalist designs with bright, patterned tiles and big statement mirrors. You could also go for patterned towels, robes and hand towels. From marble surfaces to colourful panelled walls, there are endless ways to experiment with bold and beautiful bathroom designs.
