Black Matte
Save the black patent leather for your shoes. One of the most significant bathroom decor trends in 2018 is black matte. Changing out all of your current fixtures to something with a matte black finish will give the entire bathroom a fresh and updated look that is both sleek and sophisticated. Plus, you do not even need to stop at the fixtures; a fantastic black matte claw-foot bathtub could be just what you need to bring luxurious baths back into your life.
Small Packages with Big Surprises
Do you remember that feeling you got as a kid when you received a little gift box? Your first instinct was to think that it was probably socks or something else you did not want. But, when you opened it, you got the most incredible surprise? This trend encapsulates that feeling so you can experience it every day. Think about a sink basin with an integrated shelf, a dish-drawer dishwasher or a space-saving wall-mount toilet. Whichever you choose, it’s like getting two gifts in one.
No More Subway Tiles
Subway tiles have had their day in the sun, but now that is over. The new trend for 2018 is Zellige tiles. If you are not familiar with Zellige tiles, they are glazed, colored terra-cotta tiles that get their inspiration from Morocco. These tiles are shimmery, yet still organic. They are perfect for sprucing up your shower area or your backsplash. Zellige will add both texture and beauty to your entire bathroom decor.
Bamboo Flooring
Wood in the bathroom? Yes! Bamboo is the hot new material for your bathroom floor. Bamboo grows quickly without a lot of water. But, the quality that makes it great for the bathroom is its durability. Bathrooms get a lot of use by everyone in the family. As such, you need a floor that is going to stand up to a lot of abuse. Bamboo fits the bill. Since bamboo is so quickly renewable, it is an excellent choice for families who are concerned with ecologically-friendly materials.
The Industrial Look
When you think of homes with an industrial flair, you probably think about exposed brick walls, exposed ductwork, or even homes that are in converted warehouses or factories. But, you do not need to stop there. The industrial look is finding its way into the bathroom this year. Keep the piping exposed. Add metal frames to shower doors. Create a brick wall. Use concrete for your countertops. The possibilities are endless.
Oversized Hexagon Tiles
If you just cannot get away from the idea of having tiles in your bathroom, a great choice for this year is oversized hexagon tiles. There is nothing new about this option. But, the change for this year is their size and color. Of course, you will be able to find them in white and black, as that will never be out of style. However, you can also have a bit more fun. You will see these tiles come in every color under the sun, so just go with whatever your heart desires.
Penny Round Tiles
Another excellent option for tiling your bathroom is penny round tiles. These tiles have quietly gained popularity for a few years. They give a bath a modern spin by using softer pastel shades. So, they are perfect for those who love just a touch of color in the bathroom.
High-Tech
High-tech is no longer just for the home office. It used to be that only the most technologically-advanced and bank-account-heavy of us could even think about having high-tech gadgets in the bathroom. But, now is the time for all of us to have access to this small taste of luxury.
Technology in the bathroom can range from digital temperature settings for the water in your morning shower to lighting effects that can instantly change the mood in the room. If those options seem like they are more advanced than you are ready for, you can start small with LED lighting with motion detectors. Adding under-the-floor heating is a great option as well.
