Are you planning on changing things up in your home? Maybe you’re a landlord looking to refresh your rental property? Now that spring’s here, many of us are looking at ways to freshen things up.
Whether you’re thinking of ways to attract potential buyers or you’re staying put but you’re ready for a change, it’s likely you’ll be wondering where to begin. Why not start with the bathroom? The bathroom is a key room in any home and a brilliant space to introduce a new colour palette or trend.
If you’re ready to introduce new ideas to your bathroom, read on. We bring you some stylish ideas that could totally transform the space.
Why update the bathroom?
There are several reasons you might want to consider upgrading your bathroom. These include:
Increase the value
Any updates you can make around the home are likely to add value. A new bathroom suite is no different, boosting the value by around 4-5% to your property. This is good to know if you’re thinking of selling up.
You will need to set aside some funds – maybe using savings or a low-interest secured loan – to make the renovation process possible. However, you could potentially reap the benefits of this if your redesigned bathroom nudges the value of the property upwards.
Refresh the room
A new bathroom offers a pleasant, luxurious space. This room, along with the kitchen, are key communal areas in a shared house and are important spaces for any homeowners too. If you’re indulging in a soak in the tub, it’s nice to have a refined, fresh space to enjoy a bath in.
Improve functionality
A new bathroom offers the opportunity to address water and energy use in the space. It also serves as your chance to switch up the layout if it’s not working as it is.
Design ideas to inspire you
Here are some design trends for 2023 that could look lovely in your property:
Japandi
Japandi is the seamless blend of Japanese and Scandinavian styles. Here, the natural colours and rustic materials found in Scandi design are fused with the functional style of Japanese interiors. Muted, natural colours and eco-conscious features create the cosy ‘hygge’ feel of Scandinavian décor and the minimalism of Japanese interiors.
To achieve this look, think minimal designs, rustic accents and natural light are key. This is understated, refined elegance that works beautifully in any bathroom space, from family bathrooms to en-suites.
Cottagecore
Away from the minimalism of Japandi is cottagecore. This look embraces florals, contrasting textures and materials, and exposed wooden beams and flooring.
This trend also requires a lot of plants – preferably lush green plants that flower in order to complement the florals that feature on the walls. The walls themselves tend to be wallpapered, while water-resistant wood panelling rounds off this design trend.
Hellenism
Greek-inspired designs have been slowly making their way to the top of interiors trend lists since 2020, but they’re finally everywhere in 2023. Bathrooms lend themselves to this style, with the perfect balance between mythical elements and opulent highlights.
Try mixing warm beige tones with marble-effect tiles and add brass or gold fittings for that sense of wealth associated with the Ancient Romans. Nod to the past too with busts or models of Aphrodite or Zeus.
