Bathroom Design Trends in Australia 2024

The bathroom is usually the smallest room in the house, so unless you have always wanted a bathroom that will pack a punch, design-wise, it won’t be as attractive as the living room, kitchen, or bedroom. Recent years have seen different bathroom trends. From intense colour combinations to all-white minimalist designs, these trends have started to shift and grow in leaps and bounds. These days, homeowners have become more open to exciting and eccentric designs. It now comes down to how these would work in your favour and what would best express your personality without sacrificing the functionality.

Interior designers have predicted several major design trends this 2024. And according to these experts, here are some of this year’s trending bathroom designs

Inclusion of Unique Artwork

It’s all about unleashing your creative side this year. Experts have predicted that those unusual extra artworks might be a popular addition to your bathroom this year. This will add a different tone, bringing more personality to your space. It doesn’t have to be fancy. You could add a painting you bought or created. You could also have a unique ceiling decoration or wall décor. It’s up to you to make it work.

Enclosed Showers

Glass showers have been the most popular choice for many homeowners. Experts predict that this year will be the year of enclosed showers and moving away from more exposed glass cubes. More clients opt for a more concealed shower space, separate from the toilet room. Ensure the room has access to daylight through a window or skylight to avoid that uninviting feel.

Mood Lit Space

Brightly lit bathrooms are typically the norm when it comes to bathrooms. It’s understandable because not only do well-lit bathrooms avoid accidents, but they also look good. However, experts are seeing a trend in bathroom design wherein lighting that can create a specific mood is more of a choice. Dimmable decorating lighting is increasingly becoming popular now, which can create a more intimate and hospitable space.

Eco-Friendly Fixtures

Interior designers predict that sustainability will be the catchphrase for bathroom design this year, particularly water-saving fixtures. Touchless faucets have been widespread recently, as well as smart showers that will help save resources. This has become important for so many homeowners since the pandemic, and for this year, more options that will allow for customisation of temperature and flow will be the trend.

More Greenery

As usual, homeowners are still very much into greenery, just like they have been for the past few years. This year, going green is not just for the rest of the house but for the bathrooms as well. Additional features such as potted plants, hanging gardens, or indoor vertical forests are becoming apparent in homes, providing a calm ambience and fresh air.

Mood Lighting

Lighting has emerged as more than a functional element in one’s home. It’s also become both a décor and mood setter. Experts predict that innovative light designs that allow you to customise the overall lighting depending on your mood will be the trend this year and help your house transform into an atmosphere that suits your needs.
