6 Bathroom Trends to Avoid in 2022

Did you know that the average individual will spend a year and a half of their life in their bathroom? Bathrooms should be more than practical. So, it’s important to keep design trends in mind when investing in a bathroom renovation.

Bathroom renovations in Sydney have become a must for the average homeowner’s to-do list. If you’re looking for modern bathroom ideas and the ones you need to avoid, you’re in the right place. There are many bathroom ideas that are wow factors, but some just need to stay in 2021.

From Bathroom Renovations Alexandria to Bathroom Renovations Waterloo, here are six bathroom trends you need to avoid this year.

 

  1. White on White

Keep away from the temptation of making your bathroom all white. Some may say that an all-white bathroom can make the space look larger, but it can actually make the area look cold and unwelcome. A white on white design also adds constant maintenance in keeping the white tiles and flooring clean.

Try going for a modern bathroom design with a varied colour palette that has beige or grey neutrals to create a lighter look. Timeless colour palettes are found all around Sydney, from bathroom renovations in Alexandria to bathroom renovations in Waterloo.

The best-designed bathrooms have a mix of three muted colours featured through the bathroom walls, tiles and accent pieces. Ensure that these colours all accent and complement each other accordingly. Complementing colours are used through texture to add another element.

  1. Tacky Colours

Speaking of colours, stay away from those dated shades right away. Olive greens or muddy browns are not the way to go. These colour schemes will not only make your bathroom look smaller, but they are also very similar in shade to mould and mildew, which in the future will be harder to spot build-up in your bathroom.

When choosing a colour for your bathroom, Novalé designers suggest choosing light and inviting colours. This will create a timeless and clean look that will open the space up.

Bathroom Renovation North Bondi

In particular, this Bathroom Renovation North Bondi used a beige and muted green colour palette to seamlessly create a modern bathroom design that is warm and appealing. These colours are well known for creating a space that produces a relaxing and tranquil atmosphere.

  1. Oversized Bathtubs

Sure, taking a bath in an oversized bathtub may sound luxurious, but a large tub takes up a large amount of floor space. Think twice about a massive bathtub, as it will undoubtedly eat up space in your bathroom. In addition, you wouldn’t want to spend a small fortune to fill the tub each time it is used.

If you’re considering buying a new bathtub, choose the right sized tub based on your space and your goals for a new bathtub. This Bathroom Renovation Kellyville Ridge has the perfect tub size for the area. Here at Novalé, we add a sense of luxury to our client’s bathrooms whilst still maintaining the practicality and use of the space.

  1. Barn Doors

Barn doors are an element that will ultimately make your home look dated a decade from now. They can also be very impractical, offering less privacy and an inconvenience to household members. While barn doors look stunning, they do not stop any odours or noise from bathrooms and ensuites.

If you like the sliding door aspect of a bathroom, we recommend installing one that is simple in design and colour. This will ensure that the door is not the centrepiece of the room and does not draw too much attention.

  1. Subway Tiles

Subway tiles have been a staple in many kitchens and bathrooms for quite some time now. This sort of tile won’t entirely go out of style, but they are fading in popularity. Many design experts are choosing to go for tiles with more interesting shapes, patterns and textures.

Subway Tiles

A great modern bathroom idea is to lay glazed brick tiles. These tiles can be stacked vertically, horizontally, or even in a chevron pattern to refine the style of the bathroom, as shown in this Bathroom Renovation Lane Cove North.

Glazed tiles are very easy to care for. Resistant to stains, odours and dirt, glazed tiles are a must in your next modern bathroom design, for more bathroom renovation inspiration check out our recent bathroom renovation Sydney projects.

  1. Nickel Finishes

There were a few years when brushed chrome and nickel finished hardware looked modern and stylish. Unfortunately, like all trends, this one has run its course. More people are looking to upgrade to more contemporary finishes such as brushed brass. Brushed brass accessories are great to add to your modern renovation ideas. They offer a softer appearance than nickel finishes and give the space a sense of warmth.
