CONTEMPORARY BATHROOM DESIGN
The modern bathroom is not just a functional space but a key room with exciting design potential. Whether you want to go minimalist, earthy, lavish or dark and moody, there are many ways to elevate the look and feel of your bathroom and make it relaxing and spa-like. Marble has become increasingly popular in recent years and is set to remain big hit in 2023, offering durability, natural beauty and exceptional design. Giving your bathroom an opulent touch with the addition of marble, some brushed brass fittings or a chandelier can provide the wow-factor. The influences of nature have also crept into this room when it comes to design trends, highlighted by the use of natural materials, earthy colours and botanicals. Tiles are hugely popular, with large-scale versions commonly used in contemporary builds – offering a seamless and elegant aesthetic.
