From installing the latest hi-tech gadgets to simple swaps, in this collaborative post we have a look at five of the top bathroom trends for 2022.

1. Japandi

The Japandi trend, which first gained attention in 2021, is a harmonious blend of Japanese and Scandinavian design principles. It combines the modern, minimalist features of Scandinavian style with the elegant, subtle aesthetics of Japanese design. Japandi bathrooms embrace earthy color palettes, soft, ambient lighting, minimalist accessories, and striking statement tiles, creating a serene and functional space. However, to bring this calming design to life, expert Plumbing services in Greenwood or in your local area are essential. Professional plumbers ensure the flawless installation of sleek, efficient fixtures, that support both the beauty and practicality of your Japandi-inspired bathroom.

2. Steam shower cabins

If you love a gadget you’ll love a steam shower cabin with the luxury of its own spa-like steam generator. Instead of using hot water a steam shower like the Insignia steam shower uses a steam generator to generate humidifying steam. Health benefits of a steam shower include relieving stiff joints, boosting metabolism, easing asthma, and relaxation. What’s more, installing a steam shower could significantly increase the value of your home: research shows properties boasting a steam shower can earn a 29% higher sale price than a property without.

3. Bringing the outside in

Living walls and artificial greenery aren’t just for living rooms and bedrooms: they’re for bathrooms too. Whether your bathroom is big enough to house a separate bath and shower or is more bijou you can transform it into a spa-like experience with the simple addition of spider plants, ferns and even bamboo.

4. Patterned tiles

From Victorian inspired designs to ‘kit kat’ mosaic tiles our love affair with tiling continues into 2022. Statement tiling adds depth and a focal point to a bathroom design, and by opting for heritage or period styles it will also stand the test of time. We redid our bathroom in 2018 and in hindsight I wish I’d been brave enough to go for bright bold tiles on the floor!

5. The spathroom

Thanks to the evolution of high performance steam shower cabins and the ongoing trend for green and bringing the outside in spa-inspired bathrooms have never been more popular. Getting a spathroom look doesn’t have to break the bank either – think thick fluffy towels and scented candles and you’re half way there!
