VINTAGE MEDITERRANEAN Immerse yourself in the opulent and culturally rich Vintage Mediterranean trend, a style that's making a grand entrance in 2024. Drawing inspiration from Hellenistic motifs to Venetian plaster, this trend is a nod to history and artisanal craftsmanship.

It's a unique mix of preppy and gothic elements, characterized by dark colours and quirky vintage decor.

NOURISHING GREENS Green, in its rich spectrum, continues to appeal into 2024, with interior brands ushering in a wave of lush green hues, reminiscent of nature's deepest tones.

However, this trend is about more than just colour- leaning on buzzwords like biophilia, wellness and spathrooms- it demonstrates that this shift towards organic aesthetics in home design is more than a fleeting fancy. It's a nod to the growing consumer craving to infuse their interiors with the essence of the outdoors.

With a notable uptick in global searches for "green" (WGSN reports a 7.4% increase year-over-year) and a surge in Australian and UK Pinterest searches for greenthemed decor, this verdant palette will shape our living spaces for seasons ahead, offering a refreshing retreat from the urban grind.

LAYERED LIGHTING In 2024, bathroom lighting is not just functional but a focal point of design. This trend sees a shift towards innovative lighting solutions that blend aesthetics with technology. Imagine lights that adapt to the time of day, enhancing the mood and energy of the space. Hidden lighting in shower alcoves or under vanity units creates an ambient atmosphere, while statement lights become centrepieces.

This approach to lighting transforms the bathroom into an artful play of light and shadow, adding depth and drama to the space.

CURVES AND ARCHES Curves and arches are bringing a softer, more fluid aesthetic to bathroom design in 2024. This trend is about breaking the monotony of straight lines and angles, adding elegance and uniqueness. From arched shower screens to curved walls and alcoves, these design elements introduce a sense of grace and continuity. This trend is versatile, seamlessly fitting into various bathroom styles and adding a touch of architectural beauty.

ENCLOSED SHOWERS Enclosed showers mark a departure from the open wetroom styles of previous years. This trend emphasizes creating a more private and unique showering experience. Replace your traditional glass screens with tiled or plastered shower walls, strategically concealing the shower within the bathroom. These enclosed spaces can include luxurious features like built-in seating or steam functions, offering a spa-like experience in the comfort of your home.

They work exceptionally well in bathrooms, offering a soft backdrop that complements natural materials like wood, stone, and ceramics. Earthy tones also pair beautifully with both warm metals and cool accents, providing flexibility in design choices.

CREATIVE TILING Tiles in 2024 have been reimagined in bolder and more impactful ways for the bathroom. Not only are striped tiles in abundance and used in a variety of configurations, but designers are using vertical tiles to create tiled, pinstripe walls in seaside colours. Chessboard and chequerboard floors can be seen in both bathroom and kitchen designs in classic Victorian palettes, while checkered mosaic wall tiles embrace softer, more feminine colours. Style your pattern tiles with either traditional furniture for a Victorian feel, or opt for a modern vanity for a contemporary take on the look.

LUXE MATERIALS Luxury is redefined in bathroom surface design for 2024. We're seeing a return to opulence with bold marble tiles, gold and brass finishes, mixed metals, and richly toned woods. These materials are used not just for their aesthetic appeal but also for their durability and timelessness. The use of these luxe materials creates a bathroom that feels both modern and enduringly stylish.

TEXTURED SURFACES On the other end of the spectrum, rustic textures are making a big impact. This includes antique finishes, handmade zellige tiles, textured tiles, limewash, Venetian plaster, and fluted wall panelling and furniture. Revived from the 1970s, cork flooring is even making a welcome return to bathrooms and kitchens, lending warmth and interest to otherwise clinical spaces. These textures bring an organic, earthy feel to the bathroom, creating a space that feels grounded and calming.

SQUARE TILES The square tile makes a comeback, offering a classic, clean look that works well in both modern and traditional designs. Once thought of as bland and clinical, it is the square tile’s simplicity that allows for creative experimentation with colour and texture. Designers are now embracing bold colours, textured finishes, or patterned designs within the square format to add visual interest and personality to bathroom spaces.
