If you are looking for bathroom inspiration for 2021, then you have come to the right place. We have compiled 5 leading bathroom design trends to come next year!

5 bathroom design trends for 2021:

1. Sustainability

One of the most prominent and influential bathroom trends of 2021 is projected to be sustainability. Although this trend is very broad, it is likely that many homeowners will be seeking to incorporate this trend into their bathroom spaces in 2021. From eco-friendly bathroom features to a strong emphasis on nature, sustainable bathroom design is sure to be in the spotlight next year.

We expect the use of water-saving showers and taps to be big in 2021. As smart technology presents us with the opportunity to better control our water usage, smart technology (digital showers) is going to become even more popular. 

We are also likely to see more natural elements taking centre stage in the bathroom throughout 2021. We expect materials like natural stone; brown, grey, and beige colour palettes; and the inclusion of lots of plants to be popular among bathroom interiors in 2021. This is also likely to be accompanied by transparent and spacious shower enclosures which allow you to enhance natural lighting – the illusion of “bringing the outside, inside”.

In line with these trends, we recommend our spacious 3 sided shower enclosures, which we predict to be very popular in 2021.

 

2. Bold and Black Accents

Bold yet soft industrialism is also projected to be a popular trend in bathroom design in 2021, with black accents being particularly common in delivering an urban feel.

From bathroom features with thin black frames to bold black shower trays, black accents will give your bathroom structure and inject a little liveliness to your space, particularly when complemented by transparent glass and neutral colours.

Black basin mixers are likely to be incredibly popular owing to their sleek matte look which crafts an urban yet minimalist vibe, providing a clean and timeless finish. We have no doubt that this bathroom interior design trend is destined to be a hit in 2021.

In particular, our range of black Tavistock black basin mixers provide the perfect edge and depth to add to any bathroom in 2021.

 

3. Wooden Features

In a bid to combine aspects of the vintage bathroom with the modern bathroom, wooden features are also predicted to be another popular bathroom trend in 2021. We expect to see a rise in wooden bathroom furniture next year, thus adding an element of warmth to any bathroom and being able to completely transform your home.

These warmer tones not only look fantastic, but wood is a highly practical, versatile material that can be used to complement a wide variety of styles – from modern, traditional, to rustic. This helps to create a warm and cosy atmosphere in your bathroom space – the kind of feelings you’d want to evoke when stepping into the bath or shower after a long day.

If you are looking for a warm wooden feature to bring your bathroom together, our Roper Rhodes Honey Oak Traditional Solid Wood Toilet Seat is the perfect addition.

 

4. Brassware

It is projected that although we will be on the lookout for a more sustainable bathroom design in 2021, the need for luxury will remain, and incorporating brassware does just that.

We expect the popularity of thin and elegant brassware in the bathroom to create a gorgeous grand finish in bathrooms next year. From gold towel rings to toilet roll holders, to taps and showerheads, these affordable bathroom accessories will certainly be an important part of smashing this bathroom design trend in 2021.

Brassware provides the perfect combination of industrial design with classy elements, leaving your bathroom with all it needs to both feel authentic and impress your guests.

A final, popular bathroom trend for 2021 is the use of unique tiles. Although this will mean different things depending on the style and personality of your bathroom, a small feature wall of bold and stylish tiles is a great way to portray your personality within your bathroom design.

There are a few particular trends of tiles that we predict will be popular in 2021:

Geometric tiles
3D tiles
Illusory tiles
Graphite tiles

However, if you feel as though you can’t afford new and unique tiles or simply don’t have the time, we have got some tips to help you revive your bathroom tiles without replacing them.
