Current And Emerging Design Trends In Bathrooms
By: Lawrence Wright

In today’s modern world the bathroom has become just as important as any other room in a home. No longer are they considered to be purely functional spaces which took up as little room as possible, they are now a main feature of interior design with the latest current and emerging trends being available to everyone at affordable prices.

Interior designers have created stunning styles which have been emerging over recent years offering the humble bathroom a whole new dimensions and new lease of life. Large bathrooms are in-vogue and are set to continue to be as people see their bathroom as place which is no longer solitary places, but shared rooms for relaxation, de-stressing along with functionality and purpose.

Wet rooms are one of the latest trends. These medium to large spaces are becoming increasingly popular as they offer the ideal showering solutions which are available with a wide range of added optional extras to make showering a more pleasurable experience. These rooms are designed without an enclosed shower cubicle, as such they maximise space by providing the feeling of openness and freedom. The shower heads are typically large round cascade styles which are ideal for providing all over water rather than directional jets. Body jets can also be installed to provide a multi directional showering experience to massage the whole body.

The room will need to be completely water tight, which is more commonly referred to as ‘tanking’, as there are no trays to confine the water. The floor is raised with a slight tilt towards the outlet to ensure complete drainage of water. Wet rooms usually have wall hung toilets and hand basins to maximise the floor area and give a sleek and uncluttered look to the room. As wet rooms cover the entire floor with water, adequate ventilation is required to enable the room to dry out properly. Opting for non slip flooring is also vital to prevent accidents.

Walk in showers are a great alternative to wet rooms as they confine the water with the shower tray, walls and doors. The latest designs are more capsule like in appearance rather than a traditional style cubicle. There are wide ranges of these types of showers available, including duo shower heads and body jets for sharing a shower, along with built in seating, lighting effects and sound systems these are the ultimate showering experience which is becoming increasingly popular.

Baths remain high on many people’s agendas when to comes to choosing their bathing options. Latest innovations include circular baths made from natural stone, or baths glass side panels, along with the revival in period free standing style slipper and Cambridge styles to create a unique charm which is ideal for those who live in a more traditional rather than contemporary styles of home.

With the wide choice of bathrooms available, all offering their own unique features and design styles, having a dream bathroom is no longer only for the wealthy or those who live in large houses. With affordable pricing along with different sizes and designs on the market it is possible for everyone to have a stunning bathroom in their home.
