In modern design
terms, the
kitchen is considered to be the heartbeat of the home. While this is
largely undisputed, however, there is not enough importance placed on
additional rooms that have also evolved to become multi-functional living
spaces in 2014. Take the bathroom, for example, which has evolved from being a
solely practical room to having luxury connotations and vast, open-plan spaces.
In fact, there a number of contemporary trends which are helping to distinguish
the bathroom as a unique living space, and will continue to do so throughout
2014.
3 Leading Bathroom Design Trends for 2014
With this in
mind, let’s take a look at these trends and how they are likely to impact on
British home-owners: -
1. The Use
of Dark Wood Flooring
In terms of
downstairs spaces such as the kitchen and living room, modern trends are moving
towards the use of natural wood finishes and the optimization of natural light.
The opposite is true in the bathroom, however, where dark wood effect,
porcelain floor tiling is becoming all the range as we enter 2014. With a
number of realistic imitation wood patterns to select from, there is an
opportunity to create a unique bathroom that offers warmth, comfort and an enduring
sense of luxury to everyone who enters.
2. The Popularity of Frameless Showers and Wet rooms
On a similar
note, the concept of frameless glazing has taken hold in modern living rooms
and encouraged home-owners to create a seamless transition between interior and
exterior lines. A similar idea is evolving in terms of bathroom design, where
frameless shower and wet room layouts are being applied to create a similar
illusion of space and lend a sense of luxury to even smaller, new-build homes.
This is an extremely appealing idea to home-owners, whether they intend to get
the most form their home or maximize its resale value.
3. The Emergence of the Open-Plan Bedroom and Bathroom
While the notion
of an open-plan kitchen and dining area may be well known, the concept of a
similar relationship between the bathroom and bedroom may seem a little less
familiar. This is set to become a highly popular trend in 2014, however, as
home-owners look to combine space in a bid to create a lavish and unique
aesthetic. This will require high quality workmanship and the intelligent
application of fixtures and fittings, so experienced home-owners may wish to

ReplyDeleteWe recently remodeled our bathroom and wished I had this information on hand then during our decision makings. I love the look of the frame-less shower and the openness from bed to bath is very sexy and something no one I know has so that makes me want it also. Thanks for all the information you include in this offer.
ReplyDeleteI would love to re-do our front bathroom to make it more accessible for disabilities, since I am disabled.
ReplyDeleteI really love all of these ideas, they dont seem like they are trends, I feel like these are timeless.. and a really nice shower head would make it perfect!!
ReplyDeleteI don't quite understand, are you saying they have dark wood-look porcelain tile?
ReplyDeleteI wasn't a fan of the dark wood flooring in the bathroom at first, but I've really warmed up to the idea. It's something I'm even considering doing in my own home now.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of the dark floors and the bathroom pictured looks great.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of the wet rooms and frameless showers. It makes it all seem more open. However, I might have to draw the line at an open bathroom-bedroom idea. I'd have to see it in practice.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a large, modern bath.We have an older home and standard bathroom.
