How to Enhance Your Bathroom in 2022

Bathrooms deserve just as much love as any other room in your house when it comes to design. But sometimes, they get overlooked. Let’s change that and take a look at some of the ways you can revamp your bathroom. 

Three trends are ruling the bathroom design scene in 2022; mixing textures, spa like features, and mixing materials. Wash away your old designs and get inspired. Take a look at how you can easily implement these trends into your home. 

Spa-Like Features 

First up, spa-inspired features are a huge hit this year. Here are a few features you can think about when designing your spa inspired bathroom!

Focus on designs that will delight the eye and add lots of open space. This could take form in long floating vanities that have a sink sitting on top of them, rather than installed in the vanity itself. Open storage space for towels, toiletries and other bathroom essentials are another great way to work with negative space. If you don’t want to install floating or open shelves on your walls, you can install them underneath a floating vanity.

On top of open design, think about other features you might find in a spa. Low maintenance countertops that can easily be cleaned and wiped down are a huge staple in spa-inspired design. Keeping clutter off of surfaces and storing everything in a designated space not only keeps things looking clean and fresh, it will help you stay organized.   

Mixing Textures 

While minimalist designs are still in fashion, more people are embracing eclectic styles in 2022 that speak to people’s creative and fun sides. Mixing textures is part of this move as it adds more character to your home. This trend is especially useful if you want to breathe more life into your bathroom, but don’t want to overdo it with color. 

How can you make this trend work for you? Start with a bathroom vanity and use it as your centerpiece. Everything else in the bathroom can play off of the design. For example, if you choose a light wood vanity, you can experiment with light metallic features and floor length mirrors. The shiny elements of glass and metals will mesh with the natural wood.

If you want a darker vanity, then it’s best to keep your walls light and neutral. You can experiment with metallics and glass with darker tones as well, but you can also consider using matte ceramics for a backsplash and more muted textured accents for things like the shower curtain or bath mat. 

Natural Materials 

While mixing and matching textures is big in 2022, remaining natural is still going strong. 

So what does this mean? Using real wood with natural finishes for your bathroom vanity or storage units is one route you can go—anything that shows off the natural grains and knots.

You can also work with your designer and find a way to incorporate natural stone into your vanity, making sure it flows with the wood base. There are plenty of ways to customize a bathroom vanity, so if you have a specific design in mind, it’s best to collaborate with your designer and find something that can work for you, but is also doable. Marble stone, for example, is another natural element that people love to incorporate into their bathrooms. If you’re on a budget but still want to add it somewhere, a designer can help you brainstorm. 

Other ways you can incorporate natural material into your bathroom include using reclaimed wood as accent pieces, either in your vanity, as a mirror frame, or for hooks. Find natural fiber rugs to use as a bathroom mat. Teak side tables and lounge chairs are also great options for a natural bathroom, making it a relaxing space. 

Design the Bathroom of Your Dreams

By incorporating natural materials, different textures and spa-like features in your bathroom, you’ll elevate your home and design a space that is truly your own. The bathroom is a space for you to focus on self care, so why not let it reflect this through design?
