There are an incredible number of interesting trends for bathroom renovation this year, some of which reflect the needs of a modern person so accurately that they will be relevant for several more years. Bathroom projects in 2022 have common features: the desire for versatility and comfort, as well as creative, bold solutions and unity with nature. Whether you’re planning a major renovation or looking to freshen up your bathroom, these trends provide a lot of freedom and inspiration.

1.   Multipurpose Use of Space and Versatility

Many people want their bathroom to function as a dressing room and a laundry room. For such requirements, rational use of the available space is necessary. Modern solutions allow you to do this and, at the same time, maintain a sense of freedom. For example, built-in linen closets can be disguised as stylish decorative panels. Add a small shelf for towels under the sink.

There is also a need for comfort for every family member: including children and the elderly. When choosing a new toilet, you can select the proven and convenient options: American Standard or Kohler toilet.

2.   Doubling

A trend that has been popular for the last few years. Doubling is an excellent choice for couples who want to save time on morning preparations (for example, having one bathroom) and enjoy the company of a loved one more often. Everything doubles: one large sink turns into two small ones, two towel racks, and two shower heads. This design is not only convenient but also offers interesting symmetrical solutions.

3.   Touch of Nature

For a modern person, a bathroom is a place for relaxation and self-care rituals. In such a space, using natural elements enhances comfort and reduces stress.

This popular trend offers a lot of ideas for both minor changes and overhauls of your bathroom:

• The use of natural stone and wood-like tiles;
• More natural light: skylights, and in large projects, combining a bathroom with a garden;
• Using potted plants as bathroom decor;
• Watery blues, earthy greens, terracotta, and caramel ― these shades bring more life to the interior.

4.   Wallpaper

Yes, bathroom wallpaper is one of the biggest trends this year. For repairs, vinyl wallpapers are used because they are resistant to moisture. This trend suggests that people want more creative expression in their interiors, including the bathroom. Bright accents and space personalization are replacing sterile white rooms.

The choice of options is limited only by your imagination: floral patterns, vintage motifs, whimsical frescoes, rainforests, minimalistic geometric pictures, etc. You can also order wallpaper with your own print if you want a unique design.

5.   Improved Lighting

Large auto-illuminated mirrors have a special place in modern bathroom design. But there is also a trend towards brighter lighting that can be adjusted to the homeowner’s preferences. This year, we have seen more LED lighting and more sconces.

Also, an unusual and large chandelier is not only an additional source of lighting but also a gorgeous accent. Designers like to mix styles, so you can see a vintage chandelier in the middle of a modern bathroom.

6.   Marble

Marble has always given the luxury to interior design. This year, the stone is a high-end material for wall and floor cladding, as well as countertops and sinks. You can see interesting contrasting combinations of classic white marble with golden/gray veins and deep black marble.

Although this stone is quite an expensive material, you can create your luxurious bathroom interior with a more budget-friendly option ― marble effect porcelain stoneware tiles. It is easier to maintain, but creates a feeling of luxury.

7.   Vintage

The desire to break away from the sterile white gloss gives rise to different directions in repair. One of the trends is vintage style. The special thing is that you can completely design your bathroom in this style or create a unique combination by adding vintage elements. The clawfoot tub is the main element of such a romantic design. Also, characteristic details are floral wallpaper and brass fittings.

8.   Combination of Different Materials

Bathroom interiors in 2022 are definitely not boring. Designers boldly combine different materials, textures and colors, creating design masterpieces. Needless to say, this approach is universal, and you can use it in any style. The competent selection of textures and colors allows to create a truly unique space that will have more dynamism and, at the same time, provide comfort.

9.   Wet Room

This option is suitable for those who are planning to make major repairs. A wet room requires complete waterproofing, which is not the easiest project. But this trend is extremely popular as there is no separation and the bathtub, shower, and sink are in the same compartment. The shower is not fenced off from the rest of the room, which allows you to use the floor space as efficiently as possible. The wet room is a super-modern and convenient solution for all family members.

10.  Matte Black

Matte black faucets, as well as sinks, bathtubs and toilets can become an original accent of your room. Also, matte black and brown-gray deep shades look incredibly stylish on the walls and floor of the bathroom. The contrast of modern projects is not too sharp and looks cozy. LED lighting and gold fixtures combined with black color are a bold choice for those who love luxury.

Create a Stylish Oasis of Calm

All trends indicate that, regardless of preferences, modern people strive for maximum creative self-expression and unity with nature and want to have a corner for relaxation at home. We have only listed the main trends, but they are enough to generate many amazing ideas for renovating your dreams.
