5 Bathroom Design Trends in 2020 You Shouldn't Miss

Designing a bathroom seems like a fun home renovation project until you actually start designing it. Then you realize there are so many things to take into consideration. You need to achieve the perfect balance between aesthetic appeal and practicality. As well as that, you need to pick the right design that goes well with your taste but also with the rest of the house. With so many choices out there, how do you possibly make up your mind?

Luckily, 2020 holds all the answers you seek. This is by far one of the best years that happened to bathroom design. The trends from this year are bound to make your bathroom shine and give you an oasis you always wanted to have. You won’t be disappointed if any (or all) of these trends end up in your bathroom during this renovation.

1. A splash of colour is always a good idea

Those who are looking for something more creative than the classic bathroom design should consider adding a splash of colour to their bathroom. This is an especially good idea for families who want to make their bathroom more fun for the kids. Don’t be fooled into thinking that vibrant colours will only make a bathroom look tacky because 2020 has got an answer for everything.

The best way to achieve the perfect balance between tasteful and playful is by choosing a base and accent colour. Your base colour should be pastel, beige, or white. Any vibrant accent colour will go perfectly with a neutral base like that. Depending on how playful you want the bathroom to be, you can add more than just one accent colour. Be careful not to overdo it, though. Three should be your maximum but even that is a bold choice.

You can start with your tiles. The base might be neutral, but that doesn’t mean you can’t create a pattern with your accent colour. For example, you can choose a nice shade of blue and create a beautiful geometrical pattern on your walls with that colour.

Then, make sure the details in the bathroom match the accent colour. So, if you went with blue, make the bathroom mat and shower curtain the same colour. The toothbrush holder, handles, and hooks should also match. In the case you’ve chosen to go with more than one accent colour, you should use them interchangeably. The trick here is to use both colours equally so it doesn’t seem you used one by mistake or overdid it with the other.

2. Add some bathroom furniture

Who said that the tub, toilet, and sink should be the only pieces of furniture in a bathroom? If you have a large bathroom and don’t know how to fill the space, you should add some real furniture. There’s nothing more unique and stylish than a bathroom with a seating area inside it.

Now you can upgrade your bathroom experience to a whole new level and really treat it as your oasis. You’ll get to sit down and relax before you even get into the tub or just take a few moments to collect yourself after your beauty routine before you go back to the real world.

Let’s not forget that this is extremely practical for women. You no longer have to bend over backwards to find a comfortable sitting position on your tub and the right angle to shave or wax your legs. While you’re at it, add a little coffee table next to the armchair and you’ve got a place for your razors and other beauty supplies. You could even sit down and enjoy a glass of wine while you wait for your tub to fill up, without feeling anything but tranquillity.

3. Think about storage space

Most people only focus on the design of the bathroom and the furniture that goes along with it. When the renovations are done and they’re ready to enjoy their new oasis, they realize they have nowhere to put any of their stuff! 2020 will be having none of that, as one of the trends clearly says you need to think about storage space in advance.

Finding the perfect storage solution for a bathroom is never easy because this is a very unique room. However, there are some universal things that work for every bathroom, regardless of how big or small it is. You should put your sink into a counter, for one. Not only will this make the sink look grander, but it will give you a place where to put your cleaning supplies.

The back of the door should have some stylish hooks where you can hang your towels. If you have enough room, you can even splurge on a retractable towel rack. As far as the rest of the room is concerned, it’s always a good idea to look to the ceiling for help. You can add counters just like in the kitchen and store fresh towels and beauty supplies there.

If you want something that’s not so boxed in, you can opt for open storage space. Add a few shelves here and there where it makes sense, then fill them with woven baskets. This way, you can easily store all of the little bathroom supplies without having to worry about creating clutter and having a messy bathroom. The best part is that you’ll be able to add or remove the baskets depending on your needs. You never have to worry about misplacing anything anymore, and you’ll have the perfect place to store all those hairpieces, extra tubes of toothpaste, and soap.

4. Go with modern and sleek

Nothing beats the elegance of the most exceptional bathroom supplies. You may be tempted to go for colourful and fun, but you won’t go wrong if you choose a modern yet timeless look instead. 2020 is all about class, tiles with tasteful patterns, and tubs, sinks, and toilets with curved and inviting edges.

A standing white tub and a big white sink to match are bound to leave anyone that enters feeling breathless. There’s nothing more comforting than knowing you’re bathing in luxury, and this kind of look provides that feeling better than anything else.

If you opt for a shower instead of a tub, don’t go for the classic rail and curtain. Instead, splurge a little and make a stunning shower out of glass. Basically, all you need to do is fence in a part of the bathroom with glass and add a fantastic massaging shower head for the finishing detail. This will completely transform your shower into a spa experience and make you realize you’ve never truly been relaxed until that moment.

The best part is that these kinds of showers are accessible to both children and the elderly, as well as people with disabilities. This means that each member of the family can enjoy their showers to the fullest, without fear of getting hurt or needing help to get in and out. This just proves that 2020 is the year of perfect style, comfort, and practicality- all in one.

5. Mirrors are for the win

If you have a small bathroom that you simply don’t know how to decorate, you should definitely go for some mirrors. Small bathrooms tend to feel claustrophobic because a lot of stuff needs to fit into them. Between bathroom supplies and storage, you barely have any room to turn around. This is why most people think a mirror will be an addition that simply closes the bathroom in entirely. But they’re wrong.

Leaning a big mirror onto a wall means that it will reflect the room, thus making it look bigger. There’s nothing that’ll open your small bathroom more than a strategically placed mirror. If you only have one or two small windows in the bathroom and need more light, mirrors are the perfect solution for that too. Place one against a window so that it reflects light and suddenly you won’t need any other artificial lights in the bathroom during the day anymore.

On top of the practical solutions mirrors offer, they’re also great for creating that spa experience. You’ll finally be able to get a full look of yourself, regardless of if you’re doing your beauty routine or just applying moisturizing creams on your skin. You’ll get to marvel at your own beauty in the most perfect environment and maybe even work on that confidence. There’s no easier way to fall in love with your body than to give it an environment to shine in.

Conclusion

As you can see, 2020 really is something special for bathroom design. You get to choose between the trends that go with your home and your preferences perfectly, while also having a truly functional and practical bathroom. Regardless of its size and shape, we’re confident it’s going to look amazing thanks to these tips and trends. You and your family will finally have a room where you can be yourselves completely and enjoy every moment pampering yourselves.
