If you're planning a bathroom upgrade in the near future, you'll want to make sure your design is ahead of the curve. While bathroom trends are always evolving, a balance between practical storage solutions and luxurious touches is key. And as experts when it comes to bathrooms and stylish space-saving solutions, we've put together a list of the top 10 bathroom design trends to look out for in 2023. So, grab a coffee and let's get started!
1. The Ground Floor WC
With remote work and work from home here to stay, as we move into the new year, in a busy household the Ground Floor WC with a pocket door will become a popular bathroom design option more than ever before. These WC's can be used as an alternative to climbing stairs for guests, kids, elderly, or even as a potty training space for the toddlers. Lots of our customers love the idea of having a WC but are worried about taking up too much space, don't be! There are plenty of compact designs we can do to keep it as small as can be that won't sacrifice style for function. Building Control will require a minimum of 800mm x 1500mm. This is pretty small and can usually be tucked underneath your staircase.
2. Bold Storage
A hidden wall alcove and vanity storage is a must-have for any bathroom design in 2023 and is the perfect small bathroom idea. Not only do they offer plenty of storage space for all your products, but they can also be used to hide away small products such as towels. And if you're short on space, there are even hidden storage designs that can be built into the bathrooms outer walls. If you are planning on having an alcove in your new bathroom, make sure to also invest in ambient lighting too. This will make finding the products you need much easier, and it will look organise and aesthetically pleasing. The ambient lighting will help set the mood and lessen any glare from the bright lights in your eyes early in the morning or at night.
3. Fluted Edges
Fluting is one of the biggest trends on our radar right now, and the look has myriad uses in a bathroom, whether on cabinet drawers, countertops, detailing on backsplashes, and more.
4. Playfully Bright Bathroom Taps
A hot new trend for 2023 is bright, bold and beautiful bathroom taps. From rose gold and black to copper, there's a bathroom tap to suit every style. Able to add a splash of colour into the lifeblood of the home, this playful new bathroom trend can completely transform the look and feel of your bathroom. But if you're worried about your basin becoming an eye sore, opt for a more muted shade that will more easily blend in with your tiles.
5. Wood Panelling
As we move into the new year, more and more people are opting for luxury within the home that they would usually have on holiday. And it's no wonder why! Wood as a decorative element in your bathroom can give the space a relaxed and calming retreat style. Using wood as a horizontal wall design is reminiscent of a sauna at high-end resorts and ski lodges. Pair the wood accents with neutral paint colours and natural decor accents to complete the soothing look. So if you consider yourself a bit of a travel connoisseur or sauna lover, this new design idea is a must! Plus, adding wood to your bathroom can actually help small spaces appear much larger, as it draws the eye towards nature, which is why this trend is an excellent small bathroom idea.
6. Tranquillity & Calming Vibes
After a stressful year, many of us are looking to create a tranquil and calming space in our homes. And what better place to start than the bathroom? When it comes to bathroom design ideas for 2023, think soft hues, natural materials and plenty of plants. Incorporating elements such as these into your bathroom will help to create a serene and relaxing space, perfect for unwinding after a long day. Bathrooms are best when it comes to creating a relaxing space, as sharp edges and mismatched white goods.
7. Textured Surfaces & Countertops
In 2023, we'll start to see more bathroom designs incorporating textured surfaces and countertops. From concrete and quartz to recycled glass, there are plenty of materials to choose from. And if you're worried about your countertop becoming scratched or damaged, don't be! There are now a number of sealants on the market that will help to protect your countertop and keep it looking like new for years to come.
Concrete and marble are two of the most popular choices for bathroom countertops right now. Not only do they look luxurious, but they're also incredibly durable. If you're looking for something a little different, why not try a recycled glass countertop? Made from recycled glass bottles, these countertops are not only eco-friendly but also unique and stylish.
8. Bathroom Meets Garden
One of the hottest bathroom trends for 2023 is bringing the outdoors in. And what better way to do that than by incorporating a bathroom garden? Bathroom gardens are perfect for small spaces as they can be easily incorporated. Plus, they offer a great way to add some extra greenery to your home. If you're not sure where to start, try planting some aloe vera. Aloe vera has dominated the beauty aisle for decades. The clear gel found in the leaves of the succulent is famous for treating wounds, bites, and burns. Researchers credit those healing powers to the plant’s ability to speed up skin regeneration. But beyond that, it’s a favourite in anti-aging formulas, too, because it contains Vitamins A, C, and E. All three keep skin firm and moisturized, musts in preventing fine lines.
9. Black For Sanitaryware in Bathrooms
If you're looking for a dramatic bathroom makeover, then look no further than black. That's right, black is back, and it's bigger and better than ever before! When it comes to bathroom design ideas for 2023, think monochrome moody sanitaryware. Black is the perfect colour for creating a sleek and stylish bathroom, so if you're looking for a trendy new bathroom, this is the way to go. Just make sure to combine black tones with gold accents to add warmth to the space.
10. Slab Backsplashes
For a long time, tile backsplashes have been the go-to choice for bathrooms. But in 2023, we'll start to see more and more bathrooms with slab backsplashes. Slab backsplashes are made from a single piece of material, such as quartz, granite or marble. And because they're cut from a single piece, they have a seamless and luxurious look that tile backsplashes just can't match. If you're looking for a high-end bathroom design, then a slab backsplash is the way to go. Just be prepared to pay a little extra for this luxury!
