Three and EASY

From soft and subtle to bright and bold, Ripples Senior Designer Leanne Robey shares the top bathroom trends

Luxe Lighting

Bathroom lighting is no longer a functional necessity, but an opportunity to transform your bathroom into a relaxing retreat. I love incorporating unexpected lighting options within bathroom schemes, from stylish pendants to impressive chandeliers, there are so many options available. This season, special finish brassware is proving increasingly popular, giving you the chance to match the rest of the brassware in your bathroom or create a statement with a bold colour choice. Brushed red gold, brushed brass and polished gold are all sought-after choices right now.

Boho Bathrooms

The boho bathroom trend embraces all the subtle imperfections of natural materials and introduces textures such as bamboo, wood, stone and rattan with their craft feel and raw edges. This laid-back look draws inspiration from nature, with a colour palette of olive green, taupe and terracotta, to help create an atmosphere for relaxation and retreat. Biophilic design is the buzzword of the moment and it refers to architecture which is inherently influenced by nature. More and more we’re understanding the link between our surroundings and wellbeing, and the importance of introducing greenery and natural materials into our homes.

Marvellous Marble

This timeless material is seeing a huge resurgence in bathroom design, being used to create a sleek hotel-inspired look within the home. Previously popular grey marble is being replaced with warmer- toned veining, which helps balance this typically cool material. Whether you go for porcelain or invest in the real thing, marble is a timeless classic which will never go out of style.
