Bathroom Trends for the New Decade

Posted on April 8th, 2020 Categories Bathrooms, Design, Latest News

Whatever your style, if you’re planning a bathroom makeover, we’re here to help! There are countless design options at your fingertips, but the changing trends can be hard to keep up with. From sleek, hotel-inspired spaces to functional family-friendly bathrooms, here are some of the most inspiring bathroom trends for 2020.

Bathroom Trends for 2020 - By Design

A Touch of Metallic

2020 sees brass take centre stage for metallic bathroom finishes. Brass is a fantastic material which adds a real luxury, premium feel to any bathroom. There’s a reason you find it in so many top hotels! It is also a long lasting and durable choice, so you can be sure that your brass metallic touches will stand the test of time. To really make the most of brass hardware in your bathroom, consider pairing it with sophisticated marble. It also lookls fantastic with an opulent dark navy blue.

Statement Showers

Adding a statement design to your shower space is a fantastic way to make an impact. Brighten up a monochrome space with funky tiling behind your shower, or add an acrylic panel to create an invigorating backdrop. Some our the most popular tiling designs for 2020 include clashing or complimentary colour palettes, natural wood appearances, iridescent finishes, geometric shapes, and dots and speckles.

Dark and Sumptuous

Many of us opt for the traditional all-white bathroom, but dark colours are starting to make an appearance in bathrooms this year. Dark touches don’t have to mean all-black walls and fixtures. You could add a touch of navy blue with tiles in your shower, or opt for a rich green paint on the walls. Dark accent colours are a fantastic way to add a rich and sumptuous feel to your bathroom, and look perfect with this year’s trend for brass metallic finishes.

Supersized Tiles

One way to guarantee heads will turn in your bathroom is to incorporate supersized tiles! Big bathroom tiles help provide a spacious feel in even the smallest of spaces, as they have minimal grout lines and make walls look bigger too. Large format tiles are available in a wide range of finishes and colours, from minimal porcelain, to indulgent coloured marble.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Denis and the team were incredibly helpful through the whole process of our kitchen refurbishment. From the initial discussions and call out with Denis, his particular eye for design came through and he made some great suggestions for opening up the space in terms of removing the chimney breast and partitioning out existing pantry which have transformed our kitchen area. Denis was there every step of the way, coming in an checking on the trades, liaising with them while we weren't in the property and project managing it to a very high standard.

The team they used were equally as thoughtful, providing great suggestions and design, with the new flooring throughout the downstairs, it feels like we live in a different house. We would highly recommend By Design to design and spec your kitchen.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our son & daughter-in-law suggested we contact Denis at By Design for our new kitchen, after their successful installation 3 years ago. We are pleased we did, as we are delighted with the result. German manufacture, with lots of neat innovations to make best use of our fairly limited space, and which didn’t stretch our budget. Denis has a wealth of knowledge, guiding us through the design process to a quality kitchen. We are pleased to recommend By Design. Mary & Martin South Cambridge.

Throughout the entire process, the service we received couldn't have been better. The main reason we chose By Design was the fantastic support we received from Denis. He was with us every step of the way, from exploring various design options to regularly checking in on the fitting progress.

The team responsible for the fitting was extremely courteous and consistently went out of their way to ensure everything was being carried out as expected. They also made a special effort to minimize any disruption to our daily routines.

Thank you for providing such excellent service and for making our bathroom renovation a smooth and pleasant experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm thrilled with our new bathroom from By Design. The entire experience from the initial design through to completion was excellent. It was so reassuring having Denis managing the project. He'd stop in most days to make sure everything was on track and up to his high standards and to deal with any small issues that cropped up. All of the contractors they worked with were also excellent. The entire project ran smoothly and on time. And the finished room is beautiful! Just what we wanted. We'd definitely use By Design again.

Please would you compliment and thank both your own staff and also your various subcontractors?  They were thoroughly professional, expert and speedy: and they were also extraordinarily courteous, considerate and careful in their work.  Completely beyond our expectations.

They offered much lower prices than Cambridge worktops. Would highly recommend.
