Bathroom design in 2020 and beyond will be distinct from what most of us have experienced some 2 or 3 decades ago. In modern times more and more Australians are putting money and time into their bathroom designs – a quantum shift from the ‘outhouses’ of yesteryears. Modern-day bathrooms are reckoned as a ‘statement room’, a private spa, and above all, a place to enjoy their solitude. Consequently, the humble bathroom designs have transitioned from an ignored necessity into a playground for designers. Today’s bathrooms add character to the home, instead of being a mere necessity. Many homeowners are even willing to sacrifice a small percentage of their living space in favour of a more luxurious and spacious bathroom. Much of this shift in attitude has been influenced by a series of television shows on bathroom renovations and home improvement. The emphasis is on bathroom interior incorporating nearly everything that is on offer, including wireless music, television and other embellishments that the homeowner can imagine.

On that note, let us examine some of the bathroom design ideas that are gaining rapid attention to rule 2020 and beyond.

Biophilic Design

The biophilic design is trending and is targeted at Nature lovers. The central idea of the design is to put the user more proximate to Mother Nature. Many studies have found that humans tend to be more performing and efficient, focused and calmer when they are in the midst of nature.  Quite possibly, you have already noticed how some of the commercial structures in different Australian cities have adapted this idea bringing a slice of nature into the middle of what they do.

In the context of bathroom designs, integrating several plants into its decor is a quick way one can bring nature right into the bathroom.  A wall filled with greenery, tiles made out of natural material, an odd-shaped sink, standalone tub, are some of the thoughts that can inspire your design. Colours to have a deep impact on how the homeowner feels once inside his plush bathroom.  The focus on colours should, therefore, be on soothing tones and adding some greys, whites and greens to that.

Wallpaper with absorbing greenery can be an ideal embellishment for the powder room. Lighting is another important factor when you are looking to connect with Nature.  Thankfully, there is no dearth of options on this front and the digital world is the best place to explore the world of lighting right from the comforts of your home.  Potentially, you may need the services of someone who is an expert with lighting to get the best light effects.

Shine The Lights On Fittings For Simple Decor

Bathroom design in 2020 need not essentially be jazzy.  You can be a minimalist and yet enjoy all the modern features of a bathroom.  Many bathroom fitting vendors have burned a significant amount of midnight oil to bring unique and interesting fittings relegating the good old chrome into the background.  It is time now to think in terms of copper, gold, black, shined and brushed fittings. Take a moment to close your eyes and imagine how these fittings would like when shone under soft as well as bright lighting.

The Colours

Colours you choose can play a vital role in your bathroom interiors.  Light yellow, champagne, and pumpkin red are thought to be the trending colours for 2020. Discretely integrating colours into different parts of your bathroom is the secret of getting that luxury feel you have possibly envied in some of the top hotels.

Sinks And Tubs

The sinks and tubs ideally should sync with your own cultural traditions.  Standalone tubs and sinks can present the showstopper effect.  The designer often put much energy into what these should look like, where they should be positioned, whether they should be plain white or colour and even the shapes.  Potentially, they are borrowing a leaf from Japanese bathrooms. When it comes to integrating this trend, the space available in your bathroom will play a major role.  Similarly, choosing colourful accessories in preference to tiled or painted walls is another option.

Tiny Bathrooms

For those who think that they have no space for the modern-day bathrooms, the good news is that tiny bathrooms are also trending.  Designers have become ingenious with how they decorate small spaces. Give it a good look and you will be amazed how they give you the feel of a full-fledged 4 piece bathroom! Small space also means that your luxury embellishments are more affordable.  Floor to ceiling tiles and wallpaper on the accent walls of the powder room are thoughts you should work on. Unique sinks and interesting shapes add further to the overall finish.

When you integrate these thoughts into the design, think of storage rising up to the level of the ceiling.
