Ashley Cooper, marketing director at Triton Showers, outlines the top bathroom trends to accentuate your shower space as we head into the new year:

“We’ve seen a lot of changes to interior design over the last year and this won’t be slowing down as we move into the new year. The key focus for 2024 trends is creating a refreshed bathroom space with a focus on bold colors, patterns, and the latest technology.”

Minimalist Bathroom Stylings

“The minimalist bathroom has undeniably been one of the most popular trends in recent years, and it doesn’t show any signs of backing down in 2024. This style is easy to live with thanks to its versatility and ability to create calmness and tranquillity while providing that spa-at-home look.”

“Opt for off-whites and surfaces with texture and finishes that mimic natural stone materials such as marble, concrete, and sandstone. The key is to keep the core colors neutral and play around with finishes and shapes.”

“Black fixtures and fittings partner perfectly with these elements and help tie the look together, whilst adding contrast. Alternatively, introduce black into the scheme through a rimmed glass or Crittall-style shower screen, mirrors, storage solutions, and wall lights. Or if you’re feeling bold opt for a black electric shower unit as a focal point, combining contemporary looks with an efficient way to heat and use water – saving you money.”

Cottagecore Trend

“Leaning into wholesome simplicity, Cottagecore is a trend that first entered the interior world a few years ago but is set to take off in bathroom spaces as we head into next year. The trend celebrates cozy and vintage elements, promoting relaxation and a sense of well-being.”

“Start by creating the perfect color palette with soft, pastel hues, such as pale pinks, yellows, and muted blues. Pair this base with floral prints in the form of wallpaper or artwork for a feminine, romantic feel.”

“Moving onto the smaller details, style with vintage furniture and décor such as wicker baskets for storage and patterned towels, you can even display masonry jars on open shelving to fill with toiletries. Consider retro lighting fixtures, chandeliers, and wall sconces to add a cozy feel – warm-lit bulbs will enhance this feeling. Pull the design together with rustic flooring or tiles – wood or stone finishes work well with this trend, but you can opt for metro tiles to add an edge.”

“Finish the look with simple silver or chrome brassware, along with a vintage-look shower that will perfectly complement the wider scheme. To create a more homely look, add personal touches such as plates and framed pictures to the walls, as this will help bring the look together.”

Earthy Tones in Bathroom Design

“Taking things back to their roots, this trend incorporates tones that reflect the natural world and bring a sense of serenity into your bathroom space. You can incorporate the look into a variety of designs thanks to its neutral nature, from modern and minimalist to traditional and rustic. It’s a truly versatile choice that creates a timeless appeal.”

“Earth-inspired hues have a natural appeal in the bathroom as they create an inviting and serene atmosphere while providing a neutral color base that avoids being one-dimensional. Don’t shy away from experimenting with textures and materials with this trend, as it will help add interest.”

“Depending on personal preference you can work with either a warm or cool palette to achieve an earthy look. Consider traditional warm colors like terracotta and hickory or delve to the other end of the color wheel with muted tones like sage green, taupe, and stone grey.”

“There’s so much flexibility with how you can welcome these natural tones into your bathroom, earthy cabinetry is a great option, or accessories can provide a solution that is easy to rework if you fancy a change at a later date. Wicker and rattan furniture, wood surfaces, and greenery are great ways to build the scheme. Or keep the look contemporary and sleek by opting for an earthy color across walls, shelving, and sink areas for a monochromatic, minimalistic finish.”

Vibrant Colors

“You’ll see designs that boast confidence and are decorated in vibrant tones. Primary colors are back, and here to brighten your day.”

“If you want a bathroom that instantly puts a smile on your face, then injecting bold colors into your design is guaranteed to make you feel cheery no matter the time of day. This scheme is perfect for a family bathroom and will make shower time fun for all.”

“Funky tile layouts, pops of color, geometric towels, and rainbow accessories create a technicolored bathroom delight. If you’re feeling bold, introduce murals to your walls, such as a door lip in a bright hue – adding this wave design will test the creative boundaries of the bathroom.”

“If you’re feeling cautious, start with a clean base of white walls and a matte white shower, then go wild with accessories, which can easily be refreshed should you wish.”

Biophilic Design

“With hybrid working very much an integrated part of everyday life, many may find themselves spending increasingly more time inside their homes. So, it comes as no surprise that there will be a continued focus on bringing the outside in over the next year.”

Adding a touch of nature to your bathroom design can provide a feeling of calm, acting as a sanctuary and providing a space for waking yourself up in the morning and winding down at the end of the day. Drawing inspiration from the outdoors, this trend incorporates organic wood features complemented by muted, natural hues and greenery to create a space that exudes serenity.”

“Opt for wood or stone look wall panels or flooring, partnered with an organic palette of greens, blues, and browns for a touch of the natural world. Plants are of course a must, not only do they fit the scheme but they can also help make the space feel fresh and improve air quality within your bathroom. Consider using open shelving to store towels and toiletries to create a more open and organic feel in your bathroom.”

“Many underestimate the effect that lighting can have in a bathroom. When creating a biophilic design, try to maximize natural light with sheer or minimal window dressings – not only will this help to create an open, inviting space flooded with natural light, but also provides a view of the outdoors.”

Money Saving Upgrades

“We are continuously seeking ways to make our everyday lives more money-saving and efficient. Smart thermostats and energy-efficient windows are amongst some of the most popular upgrades, but as we head into the new year, bathrooms in particular will be further incorporated into this wider trend.”

“Some smaller changes to incorporate in your bathroom are utilizing natural light where possible and opting to air-dry towels instead of using a heated towel rail to cut down on electricity usage.”

“New showering innovations, such as Triton’s ENVi®, monitor water and energy usage via a slimline control panel. The electric unit accommodates up to six user profiles and features an eco-mode, making it simple for users to take the necessary steps to reduce their usage and in turn their bills.” Ashley Cooper, marketing director at Triton Showers
