1. Feature floor tiles. Statement-making floor tiles proved popular in 2014, and this striking look doesn\u2019t appear to be leaving in a hurry, says interior designer Jasmine McClelland. \u201cI have done a couple of feature floor bathrooms this year. They are stunning and provide a great design opportunity when working with challenging bathrooms that have no clear walls for a feature wall,\u201d she says.
\n\u201cIn smaller bathrooms a feature floor tile adds style without overwhelming the space, and when used in a larger bathroom, the effect is elegant,\u201d McClelland says. \u201cI love the space when the freestanding bath hits the feature tile \u2026 beautiful!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n 2. Natural beauty.<\/b> Want a bathing area that\u2019s welcoming and serene? Then drawing design inspiration from nature is a great way to warm a typically very hard room of the house and infuse the space with a calming vibe. It\u2019s one of the key bathroom trends of 2015, according to designers Simona Castagna and Darren Genner of Minosa.<\/p>\n An easy way to incorporate this trend into a bathroom design, Castagna and Genner say, is to introduce earthy materials like natural stone or wood-look tiles. The luxe bath seen here features marble floors and an onyx countertop, as well as a walnut-plank feature wall.<\/p>\n 3. Plant life.<\/b> \u201cI know some of us have been scared off indoor plants \u2026 but it\u2019s time to reclaim the idea of indoor plants with cascading creepers that can dress any bathroom,\u201d McClelland says.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re eager to try this trend in your bathroom but want a more sophisticated and design-savvy alternative to potted plants (hanging or not), a vertical garden may be the way to go, McClelland says.<\/p>\n \u201cI love them for the interest and feel they bring to a bathroom and can\u2019t wait to use them more in my designs for 2015,\u201d the designer says.<\/p>\n 4. The master suite retreat.<\/b> Is your master bathroom cramped, not particularly inviting and tucked away out of sight? Then you may be more than happy to try this design trend when renovating your home.<\/p>\n Castagna and Genner say people want bigger bathrooms that are connected to the bedroom or closet, or even more open to the bedroom. People want to see their beautiful basins, custom vanities and freestanding baths from the bedroom, say the designers, who were the team behind the luxe, open-plan bedroom and en suite pictured here. They\u2019re also using bigger sliding doors so people can open up or close off a space.<\/p>\n \n<\/p>\n SEE ALSO- BATHROOM CONTEMPORANY IDEAS<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n 5. Clever water control. Say goodbye to basic shower and basin faucets, and hello to smart, user-friendly fixtures (such as thermostatic mixers; mixers that control multiple water sources, like the one used in this shower; and touchscreen-operated showers) that give users more control over the flow, mix and temperature of water, says Adelaide, Australia, interior designer Jordan Smith of Brilliant. \u00a0<\/p>\n 6. Freestanding bathtubs.<\/b> According to McClelland, our love affair with freestanding baths isn\u2019t over just yet, and not just because they make striking, sculptural design features, but because they help set the mood for rest and relaxation too. \u201cThe freestanding bath is more than aesthetic \u2014 it is emotive,\u201d the designer says. \u201cClients connect with the possibility of a bathroom that symbolizes their own space or downtime, and a freestanding bath inspires this feeling of self-indulgence in the midst of a busy life.\u201d<\/p>\n When choosing a freestanding bath, consider how the design of the tub will shape the look of your space. \u201cThe curve of a bath can bring softness to an angular bathroom, or an angular bath can offset soft colors or add to a highly structured bathroom,\u201d says McClelland, who designed the Asian-inspired bathing area here.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n SEE ALSO- STUNNING DESIGNER BATHUBS<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n 7. Custom vanities.<\/b> People now want custom vanities \u2014 made for them and their needs, rather than mass produced, say Castagna and Genner, who designed this bathing zone. The glam space features a floating vanity custom made to suit the aesthetics of the sleek, contemporary design scheme, provide plenty of storage and enhance the illusion of spaciousness.<\/p>\n \u201cThe good old shaving cupboard is also making a resurgence,\u201d the designers add. \u201cWe\u2019re also using a lot of drawers and smart technology, such as doors that lift up and move out of way, which make good use of storage.\u201d As you can see here, these design elements have also been incorporated into the design of this elegant bath.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n See what Maison Valentina, have for you to- wwww.maisonvalentina.net<\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you\u2019ve been thinking about giving your bathroom an overhaul but aren\u2019t sure how, one way to start is to look to the latest design trends for inspiration.

\n\u201cDouble showers would be a good place to use this, as multiple people can use the shower at the same time, with individual settings for their own shower,\u201d Smith suggests when explaining how she\u2019d incorporate this trend into one of her designs. \u201cOne mixer can control both multiple showers or a combination shower-bath.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
