Function doesn't have to be the only thing that matters in the bathroom. Designers see the bathroom as a place to infuse contemporary design elements with a homeowner's personality and incorporate wellness-focused features. Even if you don't want to remodel your entire bathroom, there are many ways to update your look and incorporate these designer bathroom trends for 2024, whether you're remodeling a small bathroom or a luxury retreat.

Colorful Solutions and Patterns

Peachy Tones

Fans of peach fuzz should rejoice this season, as it's set to be the color of the year. Peach tones can be bright and energetic in light environments, but they can also be neutral, relaxing and soothing in darker environments.

Playful Wallpaper

Bathrooms are a great place to get a little wild and show off your personality with wallpaper as your hero. There are so many amazing wallpapers on the market today that there's something for everyone - from small, traditional prints, toiles and florals to mural-style papers.

Moody Powder Rooms

The powder room is one of the crown jewels of the home. It's a place to have fun and be bold. Well designed, it adds depth to the space and plays with the reflections of light in the room. It is delightful to watch the powder room act as a surprise to guests as they walk through the door of the home.

Geometric Patterns

Patterns will take center stage in floor and wall design in 2024. But it won't just be colorful patterns. Look for geometric patterns such as chevrons, basketweaves and herringbones to dominate the design landscape.

Cutting-Edge Materials and Textures

Organic Materials

Bathrooms in 2024 will see an increase in the use of natural materials such as marble, wood, ceramics and clay. These materials add richness and warmth to any room, including bathrooms.

Structured Stone Accents

The veined stone accent will continue to be a popular trend in the coming year. We often see people opting for simple millwork with a unique feature of colored stone that adds texture to the overall look. 

Tile with Texture

Add a touch of texture to your kitchen or bathroom with textured tiles. Textured tiles are also known as tactile tiles, 3D tiles and more. Not only does this transform the look of a room, but it also adds layers, dimension and a touch point for the user.

Layered Subway Tiles

There's nothing more timeless than a subway tile. Instead of the classic brick installation, give your subway tiles a modern twist by stacking them horizontally or vertically. Or, instead of a perfect rectangle, hand-form your subway tiles to add an artistic touch to your space.

Dynamic Wet Walls

While spa-inspired bathrooms will remain popular in 2024, dramatic wet walls will also be a thing. Wet walls are walls that are completely covered in tile or mosaic instead of sheetrock and millwork. Not only are they aesthetically pleasing, they're also practical. Wet walls make it easier to clean up after bathing children or furry friends.

Curves

Another exciting addition to the bathroom in the new year will be curved fixtures. Not only will they add a modern touch to your space, but they'll also make your bathroom feel like a spa, giving you all the relaxation you could want.

Plaster Shower Walls

In 2024, we will see a decrease in the number of tiled showers and an increase in the number of plastered showers. As Europeans choose to use plaster in their bathrooms and showers that do not have tiles, we will see an increase in the use of plastered showers as people do not want to spend time cleaning grout.

Functional Minimalism

Illuminated Mirrors

Just one step away from a simple pair of sconces next to the mirror, in 2024 you'll be able to choose from backlit mirrors or wall washbasins with built-in ceiling lighting to add a touch of minimalism to your bathroom.

Hovering vanities

Floating vanities are very popular right now, especially if the vanity has lots of drawers.

Split Sinks

If space permits, get rid of the long double vanity and split the sinks for complete privacy. Another interesting idea is to have a bathtub in between, but adding a tree or a vintage coat rack is another eye-catching bathroom addition.

Steam Showers

Steam showers have been at the top of people's to-do lists for a while now. Research has shown that steam showers can help reduce allergies, improve blood pressure, and improve sleep quality.

Humid Rooms

What we hope more people will embrace is the idea of the wet room. By incorporating a bathtub directly into your shower room - not the tub showers you grew up with - you can soak while capturing the heat and steam of the room, making your bath experience even more luxurious.

Spa Capabilities

With more people working from home and exercising at home, we're likely to see more in-home spa sessions. As steam showers become more affordable and accessible, we'll see more of them in our designs. Infrared saunas, cold dips and other spa treatments are also becoming more popular. While there's a premium associated with these treatments, you're more likely to use them regularly, and that's a real advantage over a spa membership.

And while some of the trends make the list year after year, there is always room for new ideas in interior design. After all, we are changing, our lifestyles are changing, and the desire to make our homes more functional, more comfortable, and more reflective of the individuality of their owners is growing. 

However, the confidence in the contractor remains unchanged, that he has the ability to incorporate any calm or wild trends and ideas, or to work with any materials. Whatever trend of the above you find relevant to implement, or whatever original idea you have after reading this that you would like to facilitate in your bathroom, be sure that our team at European Standard LLC is experienced enough to tailor it to your bathroom in the most exquisite manner.
