One of the key areas you can really leave a personal mark in your new home is in the bathroom.
The bathroom is one of the hardest workings rooms in your new home and requires a special type of planning that combines functionality with aesthetics.
And building a new home is the perfect blank canvas for your ultimate bathroom. If you’re not sure where to start, why not explore these three interior trends in your bathroom?
- Embracing Nature
Embracing natural materials, tones and textures is less of a trend and more of a necessity. And it’s one approach that you can rarely get wrong.Whether it’s selecting a stone look tile or using a timber-look or a timber vanity, by embracing natural materials, tones and textures you will give a bathroom a warm yet refreshed feel.Choosing a tile with texture is a great way to introduce the type of imperfections found in nature, creating a bathroom that feels clean rather than clinical.
The bathrooms in our Noble 196 display features stone-look tiles paired with timber-look vanity – creating a clean look with organic warmth. 
The earthy tones in the bathrooms of our Flinders 235 display give this space a sense of warmth and calm, the subtle textures in this subway tile is a subtle way to introduce the imperfections of nature. - Smart storage with modern minimalist style
Minimalism continues to be a desired aesthetic in a bathroom – nobody wants a cluttered, untidy bathroom.And that’s where smart storage comes in. A vanity is the ideal way to keep your bathroom minimal and clean – meaning less toiletries on the counter and more bathroom decor items such as plants or vessels. It is also a great way to define your interior style and for a modern bathroom creating a tapware and vanity combination that’s ultra modern leans into the minimalist aesthetic. Win, win!
The bathrooms in our Thornhill 212 display shows how you can use smart storage to create a modern minimalist bathroom. - Japandi
The Japandi interior style combines the best of two interior styles to create a space that is pure tranquility – making it a perfect trend to explore in your bathroom.Scandi has been one of the most popular trends in the past decade for it’s clean, simple aesthetic. However in more recent years it has lost its favour… until wabi sabi. Wabi Sabi is a Japanese aesthetic that embraces the imperfections of nature. And the combination of Scandi simplicity with the warmth of wabi sabi creates a harmonious balance. How do you do it?
Our Riverside 246 bathroom would be perfect for Japandi interior styling – a simple timber stump and large plant would complete the Japandi look.
A Scandi designed bathroom creates the perfect canvas for wabi sabi styling – think plants, timber stools or stumps, timber screens, stone carvings or stone vessels.
