Bathroom suites in the future may be high-class and full of technology, according to some experts. Some predictions for what may be in store for washrooms in a few years, including underfloor heating and large rails to accommodate big towels.
People are now more inclined to want gorgeous hotel styled bathrooms, and will want luxurious items like televisions built into appliances and comfortable chairs.
Further suggestions include more bathroom accessories – such as several sinks in one room, as well as lots of mirrors and matching toilet roll holders, soap dispensers and towel rail sets.
Sara Corker, a designer, recently made similar comments of a “hotel look” being popular among consumers and suggested that reflective surfaces can be integrated into the actual decoration of a room, perhaps between wall tiles.
She went on to add that a separate walk-in showers or wet room could be requested by clients in the future.
With this latest trend in bathroom accessories, more people are reflecting on the need to save energy. With this in mind people are favouring technology in their bathrooms because of rising costs and a greater awareness of carbon emissions.
Another growing fashion within the home is ‘personalisation’ whereby individual items from the lives of homeowners are used for decoration to increase the lifespan of sentimental objects. It all links in with the homemade stuff that was going on last year with people moving away from fast-fashion furniture.
The ‘personalisation’ trend is ideal for people who are considering a bathroom suite update but are unsure of what style to adopt. As people can be more conscious of how much of themselves goes into their home.
Some experts observed that fashion is moving away from the five-star hotel look and is more concerned about colour. This means individuals should trust their instincts and feel free to put up sentimental objects, such as family photos.
People’s homes should be [about] the people who live in them.
A prediction by the Daily Mail’s Emma Love, asserted that forthcoming trends will be influenced by world culture – such as tribal prints or carved wood – and exciting uses of patterns.
Furthermore, each of these different looks will blend together in a single image.
This observation is echoed by the designer, who noted that interior fashion is moving away from adhering strictly to placing certain characteristics in particular areas, which is a development she is pleased with, especially within bathrooms.
