Design
Just add water
Bathrooms were once considered an afterthought but now they are part of the main show ! Much like interior design in general , bathrooms should be timeless . We are seeing a movement towards maximalism in bathrooms when it comes to hospitality design and depending on your taste , there is no reason these should not work equally as well in residential interiors . Choose a bold color then use a combination of tile styles in shifting tones .
All the above considerations are helpful , and they are elements that you can keep evolving with time . In summary , homeowners can take inspiration from other sectors of design to shape their own spaces , bringing ideas from commercial and hospitality sectors to elevate unique , fun , and comfortable living areas . But all of this can be quite overwhelming , and it can be difficult to know where to start . Working with a designer can help merge all these ideas into a cohesive design that looks amazing while adhering to functional needs . ■
Bring the outside in
We are noticing a deeper longing for connection to nature . As homeowners , you can bring the outside in using plants and natural materials , adding texture and realness to your space . You can also use plants to form partitions in larger properties or to differentiate areas in open plan living spaces .
Feature focus
Another thing you should consider is focal points . What is the first thing you see when you get home ? How does it make you feel ? Whether it ’ s an artwork , photograph , or lighting feature , consider the layout of your space to evoke positive emotions .
