15 Nov The Most Stylish Bathroom Trends to Expect in 2022

Bathrooms are one of the most popular rooms to renovate — in fact, 78% of Brits are willing to pay up to £30,000 extra for a home with a freshly renovated bathroom! If you are looking to invest in a new bathroom suite next year, ACAS Bathrooms South Shields have compiled a list of what we believe will be the most stylish bathroom trends in 2022.

1. Contemporary Bathrooms

Contemporary bathrooms will always be at the top of bathroom trends, thanks to their ability to create a clean and minimal space. The key to creating a modern bathroom is simplicity. So, when choosing showers, baths, and fixtures, keep clean lines in mind — prefer rectangular and square shapes where possible. To achieve a truly contemporary aesthetic, stick to softer colours and only use deeper and more vibrant shades to accentuate certain design features in the bathroom.

2. Victorian Bathrooms

Choosing classical statement elements and incorporating details into the bathroom décor is the key to perfecting the Victorian style. The most common feature of a Victorian-style bathroom is a freestanding roll-top tub — choosing one with gold, silver or brass feet and using matching mirrors, handles, and lighting fixtures can help tie the whole space together. Using encaustic tiles for floors and walls will perfectly finish off the Victorian aesthetic by adding a touch of luxury to your bathroom.

3. Industrial Bathrooms

It is all about harmonising rough and tough materials while designing an industrial style bathroom. Brick and steel are great starting points, and warm lighting can help soften the raw aesthetic a little. Installing grid shower enclosures or screens is one of the easiest ways to add an industrial touch to your bathroom — choose matt black fittings for a truly stunning aesthetic.

4. Transitional Bathrooms

Transitional bathrooms incorporate “borrowed” styles and concepts from several eras. Although pure white porcelain is commonly used in transitional bathrooms, bold colours can also accentuate the space’s aesthetic appeal. Use stunning chrome or rich gold brassware in conjunction with unique iron towel rails/loops and striking hardwood floors to really make your bathroom space shine.

5. Rustic Bathrooms

A rustic bathroom is cosy, inviting, and unassuming. Combine more traditional design elements with sleek and contemporary styling to add charm and elegance to your bathroom. Handmade and artisan styles, which use raw and organic design elements, dominate rustic bathrooms and look fantastic when used effectively.

6. Mediterranean Bathrooms

With people not being able to fly off on vacation as easily as they used to, Brits have been yearning to incorporate the tranquil and dreamlike “beach” styles into their homes. Warm colours like terracotta and carmine and subtle, brown-based earthy tones are perfect for a Mediterranean-themed bathroom.
