Repainting most of the rooms in your home as a new year refresh isn't especially practical: replacing furniture, choosing new fabrics, and turning those spaces into work sites requires a generous investment of time and money. But updating the paint in your bathroom—a smaller room—lets you start and end your day on an invigoratingly new note.

Primary and guest bathrooms also offer endless opportunities for personalization, as you incorporate riskier colors. (Remember: If you hate it, repainting is low-effort and low-cost.) You can and should think beyond your walls, too—the cabinets, ceiling, or floor are all fair game. "Bath panels and vanity units are great places to incorporate color, as is the floor," says Joa Studholme, color curator at Farrow & Ball. "But never underestimate the power of a different color or finish on the ceiling—the bathroom is the one place you may spend a little more time looking at the ceiling!"

Before you get going (or pick your paint), pause and consider the defining shades of the moment, according to color experts.

Complex and Moody Blues

Shades of blue are always popular choices for the primary bathroom, but next year's popular hues will be "more complex and moodier" than in the past, predicts Sue Kim, director of color marketing at Valspar; think rich midnight blue and dusky mid-range tones. "Blue tones encourage us to decompress and renew," says Kim. "We'll continue to see popular shades and color choices used in the bathroom that are more often connected to natural elements, which is attributed to the longevity of the colors in the home. Also, these cool shades highlight the healing power of water that helps alleviate evolving demands of life. "

She recommends Everglade Deck and Blue Arrow, two lush Valspar colors. "Everglade Deck is a midnight blue that creates a restorative space and encourages us to restore our mind, body, and home," she says. "Blue Arrow is a cooled-down blue with a yellow undertone that brings balance and charm to any space and gives a strong connection to the sky and water."

High-Impact Finishes

After you choose your moody blue, consider upgrading your finishes and in-bathroom textures: incorporate warm copper or brass accents, organic materials, and tone-on-tone palettes for a "simple, relaxed style," Kim shares.

Bold Color Contrasts

Homeowners who are ready to make more of an impact in their primary bathroom or powder room should expect to go bright and earthy with vibrant contrasting tones and eye-catching patterns.

Canary and Brown-Gray

"For those with bolder tastes in family bathrooms, the warm, but clean tones of yellow Babouche might be used in a diamond pattern with earthy Tanner's Brown on the floor or bath panel," says Studholme.

Light Blue, Dark Blue, and White

Don't overlook tonal combinations, say our experts—layering two shades of blue with a crisp neutral, like beige or white, offers controlled contrast. "New color Kittiwake [a warm, lake blue] could be used on the bottom of the walls in combination with All White and Wine Dark stripes," adds Studholme.

Olive Green and Forest Green

Rich shades work well in powder rooms, too, which can handle more dramatic aesthetics. "In the powder room and the smaller guest bathroom spaces, people are more adventurous and have a little bit more fun with color," says Nicole Gibbbon, founder of Clare. "In a powder room, we're seeing colors like [olive-toned] Dirty Martini and Current Mood, which is a rich moody green. "

Tranquil Greens, Grays, and Neutrals

Pale neutrals, seaglass greens, and grayed-out aquas turn your daily shower routine into a spa-inspired soak. "Primary bathroom spaces where people get ready every day tend to be lighter and fresher," says Gibbon, who often recommends Chill, an understated gray-green, for this room.

Studholme agrees: "While people are spending so much more time at home, bathrooms have become much needed sanctuaries, so they should indulge themselves in beautiful calming colors that will nurture and revive them," she says. "Simple schemes of closely colored layers will create the peaceful environment we all crave. Use color to create relaxing but sophisticated spaces that don't challenge you."

Cotton-Candy Sky Shades

Bring a cotton-candy sky into your bathroom by turning to shades of powder and pale pink, recommends Studholme. She suggests using silvery Light Blue on the walls and ceiling of a bathroom, opting for a higher gloss on the ceiling to make a subtle impact—and layering in pinks for a sense of serenity. "The fabulous warm blush tones of Setting Plaster on walls with the slightly darker Templeton Pink on woodwork results in an oasis of calm, and if you use Pink Ground, from the same family, on the ceiling, it will make the room feel bigger and create a seamless feel in a smaller space," she says.

Bathroom trends for 2022: everything you need to know

(Image credit: Matki)

Having a beautifully designed, stylish bathroom can make all the difference in your life - after all, it's one of the first and last places you go to each day. Discovering bathroom trends can make choosing which style of room is right for your and your home.

Bathroom ideas - from materials and finishes to colours and patterns, are ever-evolving, and 2022 is no exception with its wonderful array of of the moment trends.

'Last year became a year of reflection – a year of understanding what means most to us and our lives,' says Hege Lundh, Marketing Director, Lundhs Real Stone . 'This notion extended into homes, making homeowners rethink everything from material choices to style decisions. As we look ahead to 2022, we will start to see the outcome of the re-evaluations of the years.'

Bathroom trends

'Following a year of unrest and uncertainty, people have started to gain back confidence and positivity, in everyday life and in our homes,' Oliver Webb, Director at Cullifords . 

'This shift towards a more optimistic mindset has started to be echoed in our design choices. Brave, individual style statements are being made and a desire for warm tones and comforting shapes is prevailing in bathroom trends.'

1. Rounded shapes

(Image credit: Lundhs)

'Harsh, sharp lines will start to be replaced by smoother curves and silhouettes as we seek a more organic and less stark appeal in interiors,' says Hege from Lundhs Real Stone. 'We embrace nature in the form of raw, organic surfaces and products.'

'This will be demonstrated through the increased use of 100% natural materials, from natural stone worktops to sustainable flooring and even cabinetry,' continues Hege. 'As our attention is progressively turned towards our planet and the environment, our buying habits are continuing to become more eco-conscious, and this shows no sign of waning.'

Cullifords' Oliver agrees. 'Overall, everything is becoming less angular,' he says. 'Linked, I think, to the desire to create more welcoming interiors, we are noticing softer flowing lines.'

Even your bathroom storage ideas can integrate into this trend, by choosing cabinetry with smooth, rounded edges and softly curved baskets.

2. Marble surfaces

(Image credit: Heritage Brass)

'Achieve a subtle statement in 2022 with the trend for marble bathroom ideas with white and grey shades used to create more luxurious schemes,' says Narendra Karnani, Managing Director, Heritage Brass by M. Marcus .

'Create a feeling of opulence with door hardware and electrical accessories that contrast against the marble tones, or opt for a coordinated look with cabinet hardware that matches with the marble veining.'

3. Natural colours

(Image credit: Villeroy & Boch)

'A trend on the increase is green bathroom ideas, whether this being in the form of plants, feature tiles, botanical wallpaper or even artificial moss walls,' says David Garner, Retail and E-Commerce Manager for the UK Bathroom & Wellness Division at Villeroy and Boch . 'Green evokes a natural sense of harmony and peace so no wonder it is beginning to grow within designs as the bathroom is that one room of escape for many family members.'

It's not only earthy greens taking over - any of the main colourways inspired by nature will be seen in bathrooms this year. 'Calming and optimistic colours are set to take the interior industry by storm,' says Emma Joyce, Brand Manager at House of Rohl . 'With off whites, gentle sages and warm blues, 2022 seems to be continuing the theme of making our homes cosy and comforting.'

'Furthermore, we anticipate that natural hues with brown tones and warm greens will also take the spotlight as the desire to maintain our newfound love affair with the outdoors remains.'

4. Aged brass

(Image credit: Matki)

When working out how to plan a bathroom, finishes can often get left until the, well, finish. In fact, they have such an impact on the overall look and feel of the space that they should be a major consideration from the beginning.

In terms of bathroom trends, there is one major stand out. 'Aged Brass is one of the biggest home design material trends to emerge in recent years,' says Nicholas Cunild, Managing Director at Matki and Swadling Brassware . 'Aged Brass adds instant warmth to a minimal scheme. Offering the perfect contrast for tiled bathrooms and an elegant edge to classic marble bathrooms, aged brass works in almost any bathroom scheme. '

'The finish is achieved by chemically advancing the ageing process of brass to give a bronze look. It is unlacquered and will develop over time, wearing and lightening in some areas, darkening in others, dependent on the environment it’s in and it’s cleaning and maintenance.'

5. Sustainability

(Image credit: Industville)

As with so many areas of our lives and homes, sustainability is a natural trend leaning into the year ahead.

'These days, people think more about how much we waste, bringing thoughts for the environment to the forefront of our minds,' says Marketa Rypacek, Managing Director, Industville Ltd . 'Customers are keen to use sustainable and eco-friendly materials wherever possible including bathroom flooring, sanitaryware and lighting.'

'We are seeing big increases in customers opting for custom-made lighting pieces made from sustainable materials and I believe this is something we are likely to see more of. These pieces have a quality, handmade feel which will stand the test of time, further adding to feelings of longevity and sustainability. '

6. Industrial elements

(Image credit: Kinedo)

As popular as natural colours, materials and textures will be in bathroom trends for 2022, industrial detailing is predicted to go strong.

Crittal shower doors and exposed pipework are two of the ways this is most commonly used in the home. 'A black frame can coordinate with a matt black shower valve, overhead rain shower head and elegant handset,' says Ann Boardman, Head of Marketing and Product Management at Saniflo and Kinedo .

'Internal glass panels and a low threshold tray make this a stunning combination. Alternatively, a Smart Design bi-fold door or single pivot door can give the industrial look but also create the perfect illusion of space within small bathroom ideas.'

7. Monochrome

(Image credit: BC Designs)

When considering how to design the space, monochrome never makes the list of things you should never do when choosing a bathroom.

'There’s a good reason why this trend comes around year after year,' says Phil Etherden, MD, The Albion Bath Co Ltd . 'A classic black or white freestanding bath will never go out of style, while a simple monochrome colour palette is sleek and sophisticated. It also doesn’t date as quickly than many of the latest colour trends. Black and white one of the easiest looks to pull off effectively, as well as being easy to live with and to adapt to your taste.'

'Striking, strong, sleek, matt black is a modern classic and is fast becoming a real alternative to chrome within interior design,' adds Katie Fitzpatrick at Merlyn Showers . 'If you want a more striking finish with a bold focal point, then matt black shower frames and fixtures can achieve this with warmer tones of grey against the crisp white of the ceramics.'

8. Wet rooms and walk-in showers

(Image credit: Mermaid Panels)

'Wet rooms and large walk in showers were once reserved for plush hotels and ultra-modern homes, however, they’re growing in demand as we become more confident with our design choices,' says Helen Dennett, UK Marketing Communications Manager at Mermaid Panels . 'Homeowners are reclaiming the bathroom as another living space in the home as opposed to being a purely practical room, and instead dedicating more space to a luxury shower area that puts the focus on wellness and relaxation.'

'Led by the trend for minimalism and clean lines, walk-in showers and wet rooms lend themselves to this trend through creating more of an open feel to a room. Removing the bathtub opens up the room and can add a real wow factor.'

'As more people want to maximise their bathroom space, it looks like many will prioritise the practicality of wet rooms and showers over baths,' agrees Paul at Sanctuary Bathrooms . 'More people are choosing to go for walk-in showers and wet rooms over baths, while also moving away from smaller cubicles to much bigger and larger enclosures.'

Bathroom trends from 2021 still going strong

1. The stand-alone tub

(Image credit: Clearwater)

After the stresses of last year, creating spa-like serenity at home has never been more important. Statement baths are key with the focus on clean lines, sculptural shapes and aesthetically-pleasing design.

‘A freestanding bath creates an opulent atmosphere, reminiscent of boutique hotels, and makes bathing a luxury,’ says interior designer Carla Chases .

‘But when choosing a freestanding bath, you really need to consider both the size of your bathroom and the look you’re aiming to achieve. Back-to-wall baths can still give that luxe look, but in a compact space.’

2. Clean lines

(Image credit: Britton)

‘Thanks to recent advances in manufacturing, we’re seeing a rise in longer, straight edges and harder corners which work really well in a contemporary bathroom,’ says Lauren Foulds, project manager at Heritage Bathrooms . ‘Although in a more traditional space, curved edges on statement pieces offer a softer look.’

3. Subtle pops of colour

(Image credit: Lusso Stone)

Coloured sanitary-ware has made a firm comeback and is great for injecting personality into what can be a clinical space, but bathroom designers recommend caution if considering a colour.

‘I wouldn’t advise a complete colour overload, as bold colours tend to date quite quickly,’ says Carla Chases, ‘but a coloured feature sink in a soft shade can look lovely. My advice would be to opt for white sanitary-ware, then have fun with tiling and painting.’

4. Supersized marble

(Image credit: Cosentino)

Marble is enjoy a moment in the spotlight with it being used in abundance in bolder slab-style applications. For a timeless look, go for large-format bathroom tiles, so there will be fewer grout lines and you’ll achieve a cleaner, more luxurious look.

5. Colour-happy tiles

(Image credit: Real Stone & Tile)

While basins and baths have steered away from bold colour this season, this certainly isn’t the case when it comes to bathroom tiles.

‘Following a year where people were forced to spend so much time at home, more and more of us are going for bold, says Lauren Foulds. ‘Forgetting the neutral “show home” look and making our homes our own. Colourful bathroom tiles can really help achieve this.’

'Don’t worry about trends, just have fun with bold colour and playful patterns,’ says Carla Chases. ‘Hexagon or metro tiles laid in a herringbone pattern are a great way of adding personality with plainer tiles.’

6. Streamlined storage

(Image credit: Scavolini)

With clean lines and sleek shapes a big trend, storage follows the same lead with built-in vanity units, floating shelving and bespoke bathroom cabinetry a key look this season.

Avoid placing lots of small pieces of freestanding storage around a bathroom. It always ends up looking messy and cluttered. If you’re looking to update sanitary-ware, swap a pedestal basin for a vanity unit. floor-hung fittings looks neater and with the extra storage, surfaces stay clutter-free.

7. Low-level lighting

(Image credit: Ripples)

‘Dimmers are a hugely popular bathroom trend right now,’ says Carla Chases, ‘as are some form of PIR sensor lights. These are generally low-level lighting that turn on automatically when you enter the bathroom – fantastic for night-time visits as you don’t fumble for the switch.’

‘Bathroom lighting ideas are all about creating an experience,’ says Lauren Foulds, ‘but something as simple as an illuminated mirror can have a big impact. It casts a subtler glow than a harsh overhead light and can help to create a tranquil atmosphere.’

8. A shower AND a bath

(Image credit: Mermaid Panels)

Walk-in showers are ever-popular and remain a great solution for compact bathrooms and en-suites, maximising the floor space available while adding a touch of luxury.

However, always consider how much value does a bathroom add before ditching your bath completely. Most future buyers, particularly those with young families, will want (and need) a property with at least one bath.

 ‘Following the pandemic, customers are looking at self-care and wellness in a new light, and with the variety of fitted and freestanding bath sizes available, a small tub shouldn’t be ruled out if you are partial to a relaxing soak,' adds Lauren Foulds.

Biophilic design – the notion of creating a connection between the natural world and our interiors – remains a popular concept and particularly in the bathroom as a space for wellness.

Give some thought to making best use of natural light in a bathroom. For those taking on an extension or loft conversion project, consider adding a skylight directly above a shower or bath for a glimpse of the sky, without (hopefully) compromising privacy.

10. Sumptuous dark colours

Rich dark walls have long been the norm in bedrooms and living rooms, but now it's the bathroom's turn to take a walk on the dark side. Dip your toe into the trend with a shower outfitted in sumptuous navy tiles, or be bold and fill the entire bathroom with rich greens and blues.

'Bathrooms are one of the few places in the house where you can get away with strong, vivid tones which might be over-the-top in other rooms,' explains James Lentaigne, Creative Director for Drummonds . 'Maximalism is very much on-trend with more and more people experimenting with bold patterns and bright colours.'

The rich colours go perfectly with this seasons other trend for brass and metallic finishings creating a luxurious look.

11. Supersized tiles

(Image credit: Topps Tiles)

We're going big on the bathroom tiles this year. 'Large format tiles offer a striking appearance that's guarantee to turn your head you enter the room,' says Harriet Goodacre, brand communications manager and tile consultant at Topps Tiles . 'Their considerable size proves a spacious feel to the space thanks to minimal grout lines.'

Embracing large tiles doesn't mean you have to sacrifice on style or colour, however marble is particularly striking when creating a minimalist look.

'There's plenty of variety in large format porcelain tiles as they are available in multiple effects, such as iconic types of marble,' says Harriet. 'Coloured marble can provide greater variety such s emerald trees or an indulgent black. '

12. Wooden finishes

(Image credit: Ashton and Bentley)

If you aren't a fan of dark moody rooms, the trend for natural textures is continuing to grow. 'The establishment of stripped-back, sawn and treated grains is set to expand from the wider home into bathrooms in a big ways,' explains Edward Carey, managing director at Ashton & Bentley .

'Bringing the outdoors in, hand-crafted woods create a peaceful, tranquil surrounding, which perfectly suits the proposed of a bathroom space.'

Complete the look by pairing the natural wood with a freestanding bath for a spa-like feel.

13. Calm sanctuary

(Image credit: Dunelm)

Our bathrooms are not just for washing your hair anymore. It's time to embrace spa bathroom trends and everything that goes with it. Building on the mindfulness trend, kit your bathroom out with all the accessories to create a soothing environment that you will want to linger in.

Embrace a neutral colour scheme with pops of green house plants. Accessorise with candles, crystals and a wooden stool for lounging around on. But no spa-throom would be complete without the must-have bathroom accessory trend the bath tray, perfect for balancing a cup of tea and all your bath time essentials.

14. Black ceramics

It isn't just our bathroom walls that are turning to the dark side this year, so are our sinks and bathtubs. If you are a fan of a period bathroom, this is the perfect update.

'Period-style bathrooms remain as popular as ever with consumers as a timeless, classic choice for some many different homes,' explains Faye Froy, marketing manager at Burlington .

'The new trend for black bathroom ceramics allows customers to add a contemporary twist on a traditional bathroom aesthetic. Bold and dramatic, this daring shade is guaranteed to add opulence to any bathroom interior.'

15. Blue sanitaryware

(Image credit: CP Hart)

Don't be bland – be bold! Use bright bathroom colour schemes to add a splash of character. Coloured baths and basins are coming back for bathroom trends, but in bolder shades than 1970s avocado, adding a sense of drama and luxury.

'What’s set to turn our heads is the emergence of blue sanitaryware as a cool alternative to white,' says CP Hart 's Rachel Martin. 'Look out for powdery blue baths, basins and WCs teamed with polished chrome or gold taps.'

'Clean white furniture anchors the trend and is particularly striking when finished with marble door fronts or textured stone surfaces.'

16. Bathroom wallpaper

Cheaper than tiling, bathroom wallpaper ideas can add stunning colour and take plain white tiles to a whole new level. To make sure you're on the bathroom trends mark, avoid papering directly behind a bath or basin and try sealing the paper with a matt decorator's varnish.

What are the 2022 bathroom trends?

There are a number of new and exciting bathroom trends hitting the scene for 2022. One of the biggest has to be a return to nature, which can be seen in a natural materials, finishes and colours.

'Perhaps as a consequence of spending more time in the home and wanting to create more inviting aesthetics, colour trends have become warmer - inspired by nature and natural textures,' says Oliver from Cullifords. 'Surface materials are smoother, more matte in texture and less sleek, working with design schemes to deliver spaces that feel warm and comforting where they may have previously felt more stark.'

'Our interest in organic materials and shapes has led to an uplift in smoother textures,' adds Hege from Lundhs Real Stone. 'More structured, matte finishes are becoming the preferred choice for designers and homeowners. We are noticing a shift towards more tactile and smoother textures, from hard surfaces like worktops and splashbacks to homeware and accessories.

The other notable trend has to be the gentle move away from baths in the realm of showers. 'We’re expecting to see an increase in level access and wet room sales in 2022,' says Nick Graville, Sales & Marketing Director at Kudos Showers . 'Wet floors or wet rooms are a great way of maximising the space that you have available and enable you to completely change the look and feel of your bathroom.'

What are the bathroom colours for 2022?

Current bathroom trends definitely impact colour choices, and the natural touch is seen here, too. 'I think that we will see neutral palettes coupled with natural finishes and bold accessories continue well into 2022 – marble, slate and wood are going to continue to feature heavily,' says Nick at Kudos Showers.

Hege Lundh agrees. 'Emerging from our ongoing desire to bring the outdoors inside, natural colourways and earthy shades will continue to dominate in kitchens next year. From deep olive and sage green painted walls paired with dark cabinetry to warmer surfaces like natural stone, earthy colours show no sign of wavering in popularity. Teamed with wooden accents and warm metallic touches, homeowners and designers are increasingly favouring natural palettes and finishes for the heart of the home. '

In fact, colour in general is itself a bathroom trend for the year ahead. 'There’s been a definite rise in homeowners wishing to bring colour into their bathroom,' says Emma Joyce from House of Rohl. There has been a shift away from utilitarian white bathrooms into those with a little more colour and personality to them, and we anticipate that this trend will continue well into 2022.'

12 trendy palettes • Interior+Design

Bette.

With its evolution into a lifestyle space, the bathroom is experiencing a return of color. Color "crimes" of the 60s and 70s are forgotten: now the main thing is to avoid boredom at all costs.

Related: Color 2019: what's in fashion?

Experts identify 12 color trends that will help transform the bathroom from a utilitarian space into a space for living and will especially influence its design.

1. Gray is also a color

Living Ceramics.

Today's common gray was already popular in the 1980s, and now it's back again. In vintage style, gray is popular as a background shade, because it does not destroy the effect of antiquity, and the familiar white looks radiant in combination with it. Negative associations with gloom and bad weather in the past: gray is a trendy color with a long shelf life, creating an attractive timeless look. In addition to all shades of light gray, colors with blue, green or brown undertones are also in trend. With the help of gray, you can create any atmosphere - from ultra-modern to cozy. Both white and colored fixtures look great with gray, as do fittings with a standard chrome finish. nine0003

2. Brown returns

Monica Graffeo.

The bathroom is increasingly becoming a cozy living space. The secret to a trendy brown is to choose subtle undertones, as a brown palette can include shades of dirt and clay, terracotta and olive, bronze and rust, woodland pine and cedar, dust and stone – the possibilities are endless. The modern interpretation of brown suggests two options. Or as a nature-inspired color scheme, which is often used in combination with natural materials. Or as an artistic reference to historical styles. nine0003

Alfredo Haberli.

Top favorite is oak, preferably finished, whether used for walls, countertops or flooring. Elegant compositions appear with darker shades of wood from cognac to bog oak. In this case, the brown color scheme is used in an emphatically “premium” style to add Art Deco luxury to a modernist bathroom.

3. Golden highlights

Mutina.

Gold is one of the most precious metals, which allows you to create a feeling of an expensive interior. Another color similar to it - copper - is also very popular and is widely used in the design of traditional bathrooms. In general, there is a great demand for metal surfaces, which are now available in various finishes thanks to new technologies. nine0003

But despite the popularity of platinum and copper, gold is in another league: when it comes to bathroom design, it comes to the fore. As with real gold, shiny surfaces make a stronger impression when not used too heavily. Gold should not be the only color on the palette. It is more often used in combination with black or dark shades of green and blue.

4. Space black

Swoon. nine0003

The trendy white-on-white option (not to be confused with conventional bathrooms in plain white, simply for lack of better ideas) faces some serious competition in the form of black-on-black. This trend has come from the realm of residential interiors and is gaining more and more fans because black looks luxurious, elegant and modern at the same time.

Dornbracht.

Norm Architects.

Combined with marble (especially trendy green) and leather, black turns into a stylish classic. Thanks to improvements in manufacturing processes, even faucet manufacturers now offer a choice of dark shades, all the way to deep blacks. From black shower enclosures and black furniture to black enameled steel vanity units, almost every bathroom product is now available in this variant. nine0003

5. Pop of color

Home Design

Bright colors are now deliberately used in adult bathrooms - bold colors and contrasts are used to create an upbeat atmosphere. And while a bright bathroom may look playful, it's definitely not naive. Instead, it represents an act of defiance, a kind of “when-if-not-now” relationship that occurs in creative circles and is expressed in the form of unfamiliar and free combinations of colors and patterns - especially in the world of fashion. nine0003

Norm Architects

In addition to the intense shades of red, green and blue, this circle also includes options such as warm orange, mysterious purple and elegant amber yellow. At ISH, visitors will be able to see bathrooms in provocative colors, from washbasins in bright hues to transparent bathroom furniture in blues and greens.

6. Color harmony

Living Ceramics.

This is an option for those who want an effective color combination without being too bright. Color accords, that is, combinations of several colors of the same intensity and quality, are probably the most difficult option, but also the most individual. It can be, for example, a mustard yellow sofa with blue and yellowish gray cushions against a blue wall. nine0003

Villeroy & Boch.

Properly selected combinations create an elegant, artistic, multicolored look. Color harmonies can be created from adjacent hues (for example, blue and green), using only "cold" colors (for example, blue and violet), only "warm" hues (for example, orange, yellow, red), or by combining chromatic and achromatic colors (for example, various shades of blue in combination with several shades of gray and grey).

Mutina.

nine0002 Mutina.

Various programs and applications (eg Capture CC from Adobe or Colourpin II from NCS) will help you choose the right colors.

7. Tone on tone patterns

Ex.t.

In cases where the interior is dominated by one color, it is rarely used exclusively solo. Instead, the surfaces are graduated in different shades and halftones of the same color. Even without adding contrasts, this results in a subtle sense of depth that is extremely expressive thanks to the monochromatic palette. nine0003

Mutina.

You can also use material changes for gradation, such as a certain shade of stone or wood that harmonizes especially well with a base color or other surface texture to create deeper shading.

Mutina.

Tone on Tone is a tried and true fashion concept where elegant ensembles can be created simply by using several different materials, such as combining wool, patent leather and textured leather in the same shade. Given the sensory overload that we face in our daily lives, this effect is a real rest for the soul. nine0003

8. Green oasis

Swoon.

There are two reasons for this trend. First, longing for the natural environment, when nature is perceived as the primitive home of humanity. And secondly, green is a trendy color that creates a great mood, especially when combined with plants. Moreover, the combination of different shades of green is quite problem-free.

Cielo.

Expressive objects such as a freestanding bathtub can be used as a statement, and the color space ranges from a mysterious dark green for a luxurious, comfortable bathroom, all the way to a shade of fresh May green - a great choice for young families. In addition, green is a great basis for creating intriguing “stories”, for example, in combination with large patterns, floral wallpapers, photo wallpapers and a small jungle of living plants, which will add exotic to any bathroom. nine0003

9. Pastel shades

Inbani.

Pastel bathrooms magically create a new world - sometimes trendy, sometimes whimsical, but always escapist. In the bathroom, these colors are mainly used for the outer surfaces of bathtubs or sinks.

Crosby Studios.

Light pastel shades are especially suitable for small bathrooms as they make the space appear larger, especially when combined with large tiles and plain walls. The effect works especially well with gray, so it's no surprise that pink and gray is one of the hottest bathroom color combinations right now. Pairing pink with brown accents, such as light wood flooring or tiling, creates a cozy feel. And powdery twilight pink in combination with white and gray is a real romance. nine0003

10. Greyish beige

Casamood.

Today, it is impossible to imagine the color palette of modern architecture and interior design without a touch of greige. It is associated with nature and country houses, but also a bit like the floor in a New York loft. It combines with vintage style and minimalist solutions. The neologism greige means a combination of gray and beige, and this is the basis of the color principle in this trend: a complex color as a modern neutral base color with an extremely harmonizing effect. Just as greige is made by mixing gray with light brown, it is possible to mix gray with blue (which will create a cooler look). nine0003

11. All shades of blue

Doherty Design Studio,

Blue is perhaps the most popular color in European countries. We associate blue with relaxation, the expanse of the sky and life-giving water. In recent years, manufacturers have significantly modernized the palette of blue shades, creating not only innovative colors for wall decoration, but also new shades for tiles, which also create a cozy effect in the bathroom. The reinvention of marble in the interior design world encourages the use of blue bathroom fixtures. nine0003

Casamood.

Paired with sandy tones, blue creates a look that resonates with popular Scandinavian style. And anyone looking for an alternative to the on-trend black trend can opt for luxurious ultramarine instead. The brighter the shade, the more luxurious it looks.

12. White - alone or with many contrasts

Jannis Ellenberger.

White means purity. That's why it has dominated bathrooms for decades and is the basis for a wide range of design choices. 45% of Germans choose white as their main color, which gives it a huge advantage over beige (11%), gray (10%) and blue (8%). In the meantime, sanitary ware manufacturers have added various shades of white to their range, though these new options are still hard to catch on. nine0003

Agape.

The best way to emphasize the design qualities of white sanitary ware is to combine it with bright accessories and a welcoming look of the room as a whole. Opting for colorful furniture or floor tiles for contrast is another principle that will ensure that boredom is not lost. For example, a classic black and white design is a less eccentric alternative to a trendy black bathroom.
