Should You Choose White or Colourful Bathrooms for Your South London Home?

In the past few decades we’ve got used to seeing bright white bathrooms wherever we go, and bathroom trends have tended to lean towards the more minimal looks, with lots of neutral colours. However, in the past couple of years, trends have been changing, and bathrooms are now seen as more of a cosy sanctuary, with colours and patterns being introduced more widely. When you’re looking at designer bathroom suites in East Dulwich, it’s important to get the on-trend looks that Londoners want for their homes, so should you ditch the white and add more colours to your bathroom?

Look at bathroom suites in East Dulwich

The thought of having a non-white bathroom horrifies many people, who still have images of the avocado bath trend from the 1970s. When you visit a bathroom supplier in East Dulwich, you’ll notice that white is still pretty much the norm, but that grey and ivory are becoming more common. It’s still quite rare to find the brightly coloured suites like those of yesteryear, but if you’re trying to add colour to your bathroom, then off-white tones can sometimes blend in a little better.

Go for gold, or copper, or bronze

The minimalist look that bathrooms have followed in recent years has meant that most of us have gone for quite standard stainless steel fittings. But if you visit a bathroom supplier in South London, you may notice that other colours are becoming popular, such as:

·Gold

·Rose gold

·Copper

·Bronze

While these taps aren’t made out of precious metals, they’re usually brass with coloured finishes, they create a luxe, cosy look in your bathroom. If you’re moving away from the minimalist style, then opting for warmer tones will mean there’s less of a stark look.

Experiment with tiles

Having a good bathroom suite and high-quality tiles provides an excellent base for your bathroom, and you can then add extras such as tiles to create the right look. When you’re planning a designer bathroom installation in East Dulwich, it’s important that all the elements work together, so if you are adding brightly coloured or highly patterned tile, consider taking one to the showroom to ensure it matches the suite. Trends such as mosaic and patterned tile are really becoming popular in London and can create a unique look, but you need the right bathroom to go with it.

Add colour in the accessories

You don’t have to choose all out colour when you’re bringing your bathroom up to date. When looking for bathroom suites in South London, you may still opt for white or a neutral tone, especially if you’re planning to sell in future, but you can add some extra colour and personality with your accessories. From mirrors to soap dispensers, the little things make a big difference, and can give your bathroom an upto date feel.
