Bathroom Trends of 2017 That You Need to Know About

Ellie McDaniel • Jan 23, 2017

We think a lot about the comfort, convenience and aesthetics of your bathroom , so we are always on the lookout for new bathroom innovations, trends and technology. 2017 has introduced multiple new trends that we can’t wait to implement in some gorgeous, contemporary yet long-lasting bathrooms. We have chosen a few trends which we predict will be taking over the bathroom industry with their practicality, style and timelessness.

1/ Rimless Toilets

As beautiful as your bathroom may be, it will always need cleaning. However, there is a new style of toilet which minimises bacteria and germs, rimless toilets. Usually the rim is where the water flushes from; the underside gains residue and you are unable to see what may be underneath. Rimless toilets eliminate this inconvenience, making your toilet more hygienic and convenient, whilst having an aesthetic style unrivalled by many other toilets. Our rimless toilets come in multiple shapes, with options such as gloss, china, soft-close lid and with multiple flush choices.

2/ Hexagonal Tiles

Our earlier blogs have stressed how alternatively shaped tiles are growing in popularity and this trend is definitely just blooming. The tile shape with the most potential for 2017 is hexagonal, having an originality and quirkiness that can give a wow factor to any interior. Hexagonal tiles perfectly replicate some of the top themes for 2017. Nature inspired bathrooms are very popular, and the honeycomb-esque feel of hexagonal tiles suits this well. They also have a futuristic look about them, another trending theme in bathroom interiors.

3/ Accent Lighting

The lighting in your bathroom can make a huge difference towards the ambience of the interior. From under cabinet lighting to create a larger appearance to the room, to feature lighting which highlights certain aspects of your interior, bespoke lighting will always be an excellent improvement to your bathroom. With so much potential for innovative and original design and integration, accent lighting is a huge trend for 2017 that you can’t miss out on. We love spot lights combined with a gloss finish (above), but we also can’t resist the contrast between this white accent lighting and the sleek black of the varsity unit (below). The options are endless, so start considering how lighting could add a wow factor to your bathroom.

These are just a few of the top trends of 2017, but we’d love to talk to you about more! Give us a ring on 01344 627500 or drop us an email on sales@optionsstudio.co.uk to find out how we could create your perfect bathroom this year.

For those who no longer wish to meet with designers in person or visit our showroom, we have created a new three-step design process which ensures you can achieve your dream bathroom without leaving your home. We feel it is important in bathroom projects that communication is clear and consistent, so that we can create the most gorgeous and suitable room for your needs and tastes. So that is why our new virtual design process has been cultivated to ensure that you are aware of all the options available to you and the choices we recommend at all times. Step One We have a new form on our website where you can send in images of your current room, including sizes and dimensions. When we receive your images, we will give you a call to discuss your requirements and what you hope to achieve from the room. Step Two Then, we'll get to work drawing up your new design using our CAD software. Step Three When your design is complete, we will give you a call to arrange a time when you can be sat in front of a suitable device; a desktop, laptop or tablet, where you can easily view the designs. During the arranged call, we will email you the images we have created, and we will discuss what we have designed, how we've designed it and how you feel about it. Then, when you're ready, we'll switch to video and give you a tour of our showroom , explaining what we have here and discussing things in further detail. Once we've come to the necessary decisions, we'll make a plan for the next step. Follow our Instagram ( @optionsbathtile ) to keep up-to-date on our latest designs, and to hear Steve talk through our design process! Ready to begin your project?
