2022 Trends That Are a Must-Have for Your Bathroom!

Your bathroom is a sacred place in your home. It's a room where you go to escape the world on a bad day and a place that boosts your mood on the good days. That's why your bathroom deserves to be both equally relaxing and aesthetically pleasing. 

Imagine this, after what seems to have been the longest day of the longest week, all you want is to come home and take a relaxing shower. On hard days like these, nothing beats the therapeutic relaxation we can get from a hot steamy shower to decompress and destress from the worries of our day. Or, if you have a bathtub, how amazing does it feel to soak in your tub with your favorite glass of wine with some aromatherapy candles? We guess that it feels pretty relaxing. However, it can be hard to achieve this state of luxurious relaxation if your bathroom doesn't look and feel spa-like. 

When your bathroom looks as if it's not up to date with the current design trends, spending time in your bathroom feels more like a hassle than an enjoyable or relaxing experience. Your bathroom layout makes you feel frustrated because there's no storage for your everyday bathroom necessities. You feel a little claustrophobic due to the lack of natural light. You feel that you keep tripping over yourself because there's not enough walking space throughout your bathroom. With as much time as we spend in our bathrooms, we deserve to have a space that enhances our daily routines to have a calming start and end to our day. 

If you're ready to make your bathroom look like the beautiful inspirations you see on Instagram and Pinterest, here are five trends that you'll want to include so you can enjoy a spa-like, relaxing experience. 

Eye Catching Tile Patterns & Shapes

Bathroom tiles have greatly evolved from only being used for flooring and in the showers of our bathrooms. In today's modern bathroom, tiles are being used more as decorative accent pieces to enhance the overall design. Rather than being a small insignificant detail, bathroom tiles are more like the jewelry of your bathroom design. With so many colors, patterns, and textures to choose from, you can elevate your bathroom from a beautiful design to a stunning design. You can choose from different shapes, such as a hexagon-shaped tile, or lay your floors in a herringbone pattern to add more dimension to your bathroom design. You can choose from tiles with a decorative geometric or mosaic pattern to accentuate your beautiful cabinets and countertops. If you're looking to add more visual interest to your bathroom but don't want to add a patterned tile to your design, you choose from clay tile designs with a textured finish. Whether you choose to style your tile, you can create a gorgeous focal point in your bathroom or mix and match tiles to create a jaw-dropping impression.

Wet Rooms - When you think of popular bathroom trends, you probably wouldn't consider wet rooms a hot trend. Wet rooms are a design style that has been around for quite some time; however, they are making a popular comeback! If it's on your must-have list to have a beautiful stand-alone tub, but you're worried about how much space it may take up, a wet room design would be the perfect solution! Wet rooms allow you to maximize the square footage in your bathroom space by including enough space for a large shower and stand-alone tub with plenty of walking space in the rest of your bathroom. With a wet room, you gain the optimal amount of relaxation space with plenty of room for storage without sacrificing space to move and walk around comfortably in your bathroom.

Earth Tones

Over the past few years, bold colors such as tones of blue, green, and black have been popular for bathroom designs. As these colors continue to be a popular trend, they may not be your personal preference. Instead, you may want these colors to be an accent color. So if you're wondering how you can make your bathroom look beautiful and trendy, you'll be happy to hear that earth tones are becoming a popular trend for bathroom designs! Earth tones allow your bathroom to feel modern while giving your bathroom the warmth that a traditional bathroom would. It's the perfect blend of both worlds! You can choose warm earth tones for your vanity, floors, wall color, or texture. By mixing various Earth tones into your bathroom, you'll create a timeless, cozy, and spa-like design for your bathroom.

Arches - As you're designing your dream bathroom, you want to select elements that will make your bathroom feel beautiful, and you also want to choose features that will give your bathroom character. One way to add character to your bathroom is with arches. Arches will add visual interest and softness to your design, making your bathroom feel modern and cozy. You can choose to have an arched opening that emphasizes your decorative shower head for your shower design. You can also add arched mirrors above your vanity to accentuate your arched shower design.  

Wallpaper

It's no secret that wallpaper has made a massive comeback in the interior design world. We've all seen wallpaper used as a stunning accent design in living and dining areas. And you may not think your bathroom would be a space to install wallpaper, but you'd be wrong! Rather than using a tile backsplash, you can use a wallpaper pattern for your bathroom design as a focal point above your vanity or as a fun and eye-catching design throughout your bathroom space! You can also mix your wallpaper design with an accent tile to give your bathroom a bold yet sophisticated accent design.
