Shower Power: Unforgettable Designs to Wash Away Your Cares

Most spring makeovers start in the living or kitchen. They also tend to end with these two rooms as well, with most of us having little time or energy to venture beyond the obvious. This is how we end up with the same, uninspiring bathroom year after year. While many of us tend to underrate the bathroom in terms of the value it brings to our life, a serene and rejuvenating bathroom can make a big difference indeed. Some might prefer the spa-styled bathroom while others could opt for a more rustic look in the bathroom with modern overtones. Irrespective of your preferences, top bathroom decorating trends of spring 2018 offer something for everyone!

Recycling and reusing materials helps both you and the planet immensely. In a design world that is far more eco-conscious than ever before, it is barely a surprise that ‘fashionable trends’ also come with a heavy green tinge. Last year we harped on about the use of reclaimed wood in bathrooms and its many benefits. Today, it is the turn of upcycled bathroom vanities and all the charm that they bring! Old bicycles, bedroom dressers, forgotten slabs of wood in the basement, wooden crates and a whole lot more – pretty much everything and anything can be converted into a bathroom vanity these days.

Yellow is a perennially popular color in bathrooms and in a space that is draped predominantly in white, pops of yellow make a big impact visually. You can start by introducing yellow accents in small fashion and then expand by adding a yellow accent wall or even a ceiling painted in yellow. A smart, sunny bathtub in bold yellow set against a smart white background is another showstopper that will uplift the mood inside the bathroom with class and ease.

For reasons we cannot absolutely pinpoint, but can strongly vouch for, orange looks smashing in any industrial style room and does so with complete ease. Orange coupled with gray can give you a balance of something exciting and something understated while a wall of burnt orange is a complete hit as an accent addition. Make sure though that you do not turn to glossy shades of orange as they tend to overwhelm when used in excess.

Feel that your small contemporary bathroom is lacking a hint of warmth and elegance? Nothing balances this environment better than wood. Floating wooden vanities fit in seamlessly with modern and transitional styles and they give the tiny, white bathroom a smart focal point. Apart from the obvious textural contrast one gains from the addition, you also are creating an opportunity for a blend of decorating styles down the line.
