2024 Trends For Bathroom Design

Bells Builders Merchants • Mar 05, 2024

Your bathroom isn’t just a place to wash your hands or go to the toilet. A bathroom can be your sanctuary. A place you go to feel peaceful and truly relaxed. From those self-care pamper sessions to an ice cold morning shower, your bathroom is far more important than you might realise. 


If you’re thinking about giving your bathroom a bit of a revamp, 2024 is the time to do it! Our blog is here to help you explore some of 2024’s up and coming bathroom design trends to help you get inspired. Keep reading to find our guide on 2024 bathroom design trends! 


2024 Bathroom Design Ideas To Get You Inspired

It can be overwhelming choosing a new design for your bathroom. With so much choice out there, from finished, mirrors, colours and flooring to choose, we’re here to help! Read below to find some of our favourite bathroom ideas for 2024! 


Steam Showers & Wet Rooms

With the rise of self-care, and an increased importance on health and wellness, we can definitely expect to see a rise in steam showers this year. Having spa-like features like steam showers can seriously take your bathroom to the next level. But they aren’t just great for keeping up appearances, steam showers hold a range of health benefits like better sleep, lower blood pressure, improved skin and more! 


Another sleek, spa-like feature we are probably going to see more of are
wet rooms. Wet rooms are great for accessibility, maximising the space in your bathroom and contributing to a sleek bathroom design. We expect to see more people leaning into the wet room design this year, creating a chic and luxurious bathroom experience! 


Separate Sinks

Shared sinks can be a great feature in your head, but when it comes to reality, sharing your vanity space might not actually be the best idea! If you and your partner are both on busy schedules, or have pretty hectic morning routines you might find that you’re getting in each other's way and disrupting each other before work. 


2024 could be the year of separate vanities, which might actually allow you to maximise the space in your bathroom a lot better. Separate vanities are not only a practical solution for couples, but they allow for more design opportunities. You could incorporate a central bathtub or even have your separate vanities on either side of a window! 


Wet Walls

Wet walls are a great alternative to tiles in your bathroom area. They are especially designed for wet areas, making them a great feature to have around your bath, shower or sink. Tiles and grout can potentially become mouldy if not maintained properly, but wet walls completely remove this issue. They are practically mould free and very easy to clean. 


Wet walls come in a range of different styles too, much like tiles. But, they offer a more spa-like aesthetic to your bathroom. So, if you’re looking for a more relaxing, luxury and unconventional look for your bathroom, you might want to consider a dramatic wet-wall! 


Backlit Mirrors

We’ve seen backlit mirrors for a while, but this year we are expecting to see even more! Backlit mirrors can take your bathroom to the next level. This simple method of extra lighting can give the illusion of more space in your bathroom, opening up the space while setting the mood! 


The intense white lighting is also great for anyone who likes to do their makeup or get up close and personal with their reflection! The quality source of lighting also offers no shadows, which is even better for doing your hair, makeup and even mirror selfies! 


Freestanding Baths

We are seeing more and more freestanding baths being incorporated into people’s bathrooms! And for good reason! Freestanding baths can emulate a more relaxing, spa-like and luxurious space, giving you a perfect spot to relax after a long day. 


Freestanding baths allow you more control over your bathroom design, allowing you to choose the placement of your bathtub, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your bathroom. Not to mention, freestanding baths can be much easier to clean and access as they are usually in a central position. These designs are slightly more complex, and will tend to be more expensive, but they can truly transform your bathroom into the space of your dreams. 


Embracing Natural Materials 

We’ve been embracing natural materials in bathrooms for years! Natural elements in your bathroom can create the peaceful, tranquil vibe you need after a long day, while maintaining the luxurious finish of your bathroom. Combining raw, natural elements with modern, sleek bathroom design can add a great level of depth to your bathroom. 


Some common materials might include natural stone, marble, bamboo and rattan. Combining these materials with modern and contemporary designs can help you achieve the bathroom of your dreams! 


Textured Tiling

Tiles of any kind are a common feature in bathrooms. Ceramic tiles are great for bathrooms because of their low maintenance and waterproof properties. Tiles are an affordable option for your bathroom, and they come in a range of colours, shapes and designs, which makes them perfect for accommodating your bathroom style


This year, textured tiling is coming into fashion. If you want to steer away from conventional tile designs, textured tiles add that extra level of dimension to your bathroom. They enhance the aesthetic appeal of your bathroom by a longshot, giving you a luxurious experience every time you step into your bathroom. 


Things To Consider Before Your Bathroom Revamp

It’s all well and good to see the ideal bathroom design and want that for your home, but there are some key considerations to make before you go ahead with your revamp. 


Space 

Before you go ahead with any redecorating or new bathroom installations, it’s important to consider the space you’re working with. You may have a smaller space than you realise, or an awkward shaped bathroom that requires more bespoke fittings. 


You also may be able to create a better use out of the space in your bathroom by rearranging the items and fixtures. Take some time to really work out the best way to organise your bathroom inorder to make the most of the space and keep it functional for your home. 


Budget 

Budget is an important factor when it comes to redesigning your bathroom, and shouldn’t be forgotten about! Be sure to establish a set budget, and try your best to stick to it throughout the entire process. 


Storage 

Storage may be something to consider when you are designing your new bathroom space. Storage is extremely important and essential to bathroom design, and when you are considering the needs of your space, be sure to think about the storage capabilities you need in your bathroom. From vanities to vertical storage, there are a range of ways to incorporate sleek storage into your new bathroom. 


Functionality 

This goes hand in hand with your space and storage considerations. Be sure to think about the functionality of your space before you go ahead with any renovations. While it’s all well and good to have an aesthetically pleasing bathroom, having a space that is inconvenient to use, or that doesn’t meet your needs is not a good idea. You may end up having to redo your bathroom again soon in the future to accommodate your practical needs.
