15 Bathroom Trends for Spring 2024

Whether you want to hire professionals to fully transform your bathroom or simply want to make a few additions (which is generally DIY-friendly, though can vary from task to task), you’ll want to be aware of the latest bathroom trends.

Here are 15 of the top bathroom trends in Spring 2024!

1. Creative Wallpaper

Fun and creative bathroom wallpaper is in. Whether you’re a fan of floral imagery, intricate aesthetically pleasing designs or other forms of playful wallpaper, opting for creative wallpaper visuals can add character and warmth to your bathroom. Just be sure to opt for designs and styles that work well with your bathroom.

2. Minimalism

Minimalist bathroom aspects have risen in popularity and can act as a way of aesthetically enhancing your bathroom while making the space feel roomier. Ways of introducing minimalism to your bathroom can include opting for a sunken bath tub, built-in storage features and a warm and consistent colour palette.

3. Spa Experience At Home

Creating a spa-like bathroom is one of the best ways to totally revitalise the space while making for a more aesthetically pleasing and calming bathroom.

Some of the most notable ways of creating a spa experience through your bathroom is with dimmable lighting, suitably-placed mirrors, the right scents and carefully chosen walls (e.g. those made with natural stone). You may even prefer to go with a wet room.

4. Additional Storage

Utilising built-in storage can act as an effective way of freeing up space while ensuring you can still store a range of bathroom essentials and further utensils. This may include vanity units or cabinets with built-in storage. Another storage approach that may suit your bathroom is with the use of freestanding shelves.

5. Vibrant Ceramic Tiles

Vibrant and colourful ceramic tiles (including those with visually striking themes) are also worth considering. The use of these tiles can create a vibrant, immersive and semi-nostalgic feel that most other tiling setups won’t likely achieve.

6. Small Bath Tub

Compact bathtubs are also fashionable as we arrive in Spring 2024. More specifically, compact freestanding baths can act as a superb way of maintaining sufficient space while being able to bathe all the same.

Of course, how feasible this will be will depend on the size and design of your bathroom but in many cases a compact bath instalment should be possible.

7. Geometric Bathroom Tiling

Another trendy bathroom design trait lately is geometric bathroom tiling. As opposed to individual tiles featuring geometric shapes, the tiles themselves take specific forms that in a collective pattern introduces an appealing geometric aesthetic. Geometric bathroom tiles might use styles such as chevron or herringbone among others.

8. Well Thought-Out Lighting Setup

Taking a layered approach to bathroom lighting can create a more sophisticated and soothing environment.

Of course, whatever the case, it’s essential that any new lighting is installed by an electrician and that the lighting used is safe, such as with having sufficient IP ratings (i.e. they are designed to cope with wet environments). Well-placed lights as part of a smart design can achieve great results.

9. Textured Stone Visuals

Stone accents with appealing visuals can introduce texture and somewhat subtle aesthetic and dimensional value. This can be achieved while keeping close to the surrounding colour theme of your bathroom.

10. Smart Bathroom Features

In the 2020s, there’s a growing interest in smart home tech and this applies to bathrooms too.

For instance, you might want to have a smart shower installed that allows you to have the water heated up in advance before you get home. Other notable smart bathroom tech includes automatic sinks where you don’t even need to turn the tap, smart toilets and smart LED light bulbs that can set the mood just right.

11. Visually Striking Sanitaryware

Having aesthetically stunning sanitaryware installed is another way of giving your bathroom a new lease of life, that is keeping with current trends. This might apply to having a toilet, sink or bath installed.

12. Statement Stone Features

Statement stone finishes range from natural stone bathroom walls (e.g. marble-, limestone- or slate-based) to stone countertops to stone basins. Having statement stone features installed is a great way to introduce a ton of character to your bathroom.

13. Rainfall Showerhead

A feature that often comes with spa-like bathrooms or/and wet rooms is that of a rainfall showerhead. These showerheads create a steady flow of water producing an almost Amazonian rainfall experience that is both luxurious and soothing.

14. Matte Finishes

The use of matte finishes has also become trendy recently. This might mean a matte bathtub, faucet, countertop basin, general sink or/and tiling. Matte finishes do not reflect light to a large degree, making them ‘low gloss’ and, of course, therefore, a stark contrast to gloss finishes. While not everyone’s cup of tea, matte finishes will appeal to many homes.

15. Taps Built-in to The Wall

You may find it visually and practically appealing to consider having taps that are directly integrated into the wall added to your bathroom (i.e. wall mounted taps). These wall-integrated taps can provide a little more countertop space as well as being a nice, modern and luxurious touch for a home in 2024.
