Forget the white subway tiles and outdated vessel sinks. The latest jaw-dropping baths are all about color and natural designs. According to the National Kitchen & Bath Association, 2022 bathroom trends are pushing the envelope in color, patterns, finishes, and materials. The latest bathroom design trends welcome features like open concept showers and lots of wood tones. Let’s look at what the top designers are seeing in the bath in 2022.
Going All Natural
It is all about the natural look. Clean, natural designs dominate the bathroom space in 2022. Expect designs that incorporate nature with textiles and colors. For example, we’re seeing natural stone more common in bathroom designs, especially in the case where a single stone is selected for multiple uses in the same area like on the walls and floor. Wood tones are also transforming the bathroom. Hand-crafted woods create a soothing atmosphere; again, it’s all about bringing the natural, outdoor look in.
Go Bold or Go Home
White is a thing of the past. The typical grays and whites are no longer what the homeowner wants in a spa-like oasis. We’re seeing more color such as seaside teals, greens, peaches, and creams, especially when it comes to bathroom tiles. So many more homeowners are going bold and forgetting the neutral “show home” look to create a unique, personalized look. Color and playful patterns will definitely help. You’ll also find bold colors like gold, silver, and bronze on wall accents, vanities, and fabrics.
Open On Up
More homeowners are wanting an all-in-one water space, meaning the shower and bathtub shares the same space. These wet rooms and bigger walk-in showers were once only seen in ultra-modern homes, but they’re becoming more common across the board. The bathroom is basically being treated as another living space in the home rather than just a practical room. A luxury shower space creates that area of wellness and relaxation. Open shower entrances, large high-performance windows and doors, and even having the option of removing the bathtub altogether creates a more open feel to the room.
Spa-Like Styles
Like 2021, it’s all about giving the bath a spa-like atmosphere. To help create that luxurious, relaxing feel are ceramic and porcelain tiles, countertops with a lighter quartz, floating vanities, fully painted wood cabinetry, and undermount sinks.
