Bathroom inspiration for 2018

Although the timeless bathroom is still very popular, every year there are also some bathroom trends that stand out. For 2018, it is especially true that the bathroom is about luxury. The great thing about the term 'luxury' is that it can be interpreted broadly and can be filled in according to everyone's own wishes. A luxurious bathroom gives you a hotel experience at home every day. The luxury can consist of both large and small details.

Curious about the trends such as a luxurious look that we will see a lot in bathrooms next year? Then get your bathroom inspiration for 2018 below!

Warm and natural colors in the bathroom
The use of natural materials and materials with warm colors have been popular for a number of years. This trend will not just disappear now that issues such as sustainability and energy consumption still receive a lot of attention in our homes and the interior of, for example, kitchen and bathrooms. A bathroom is no longer a purely functional space, but increasingly a space where you can relax and unwind. Natural materials and warm, soothing colors help with this.

In the bathroom, the standard choice is no longer for a contrast between high-gloss white and often matt dark grey, but warm and deep colors are increasingly common. The luxury is reflected in the use of alternatives to commonly used wall or floor tiles, such as materials with the appearance of wood. For example, there are both ceramic (ceramic parquet) and PVC tiles that can be used in various places in the bathroom, even in the shower. The use of slightly more luxurious materials gives you a majestic feeling in the morning to start the day in style – and with peace of mind.

Enduring popularity of timeless bathrooms
But not everyone dares to opt for trend-sensitive elements in the bathroom. Because they are afraid that they themselves will get tired of it after a while, or that it will deter interested parties in a possible future sale of the house. A good solution is to opt for a timeless bathroom and to determine the atmosphere by means of accessories. In the image below, for example, the timeless gray and white are beautifully combined with natural elements such as the wooden stool next to the bath and the plants in the windowsill.

Incidentally, certain trends can be detected even in the interior of timeless bathrooms. The luxury is also clearly visible in the bathroom below, for example because of the spacious free-standing bath with free-standing bath tap. In 2018, this trend will expand, and even freestanding washbasin taps will be seen. The luxury is also apparent from the choice for not only a toilet, but also a urinal.

And the tiles are also subject to certain fashion-sensitive trends, in terms of size and shape. For example, many people have opted for wall tiles of 30 by 60 centimeters in recent years. Next year, on the one hand, more smaller wall tiles will be seen, such as the retro metro stones, but on the other hand, larger wall tiles with a size of, for example, 75 by 75 centimeters. The latter have the additional advantage that they increase the feeling of space in a bathroom.
