Simple and Sleek

Many style elements from the past are making a return to contemporary design. The Copper come-back is one revival that has had an impact in the bathroom.

Copper plated tapware and exposed pipes are a great way to add warmth to a minimalist palette.

2017 is all about simplicity, monochromatic colour schemes are particularly popular, a simple black and white palette can be very effective. A matte black tap paired with white subway tiles can provide a sleek industrial style that can be warmed up with a pop of colour in bathroom accessories.

“Generally the bathrooms are the smallest space in the home so we prefer to keep it simple and sleek” say Kestie Lane and Hana Hakim from Melbourne interior design practice Studio You Me. Simple structural items and bathroom staples have now become design features in the modern bathroom.

“Coloured grout is a great way to add contrast and create an interesting graphic effect” say Lane and Hakim.

Revivals

Plants have also found their way back into the home.

Fresh cut flowers, foliage and potted plants have brought life back into the bathroom. Plants with architectural foliage such as fiddle leaf figs are right on trend.
