Bathroom Trends 2022: Latest Styles for a Fresh Look

If this sunny start to the school year makes you grow wings and makes you want to renovate your home, there is no doubt that the 2022 bathroom decor trends will give you the necessary inspiration. Whether in terms of colors, decoration, style or layout, the 2021 bathroom stands out. Here are the decorating ideas that we recommend.

What's the style of Bathroom trends 2022?

Cut to the suspense: the style that predominates in bathrooms in 2021 is the reference to nature. Whether by color or by materials, the inspirations of nature are everywhere. Thus, finished the industrial atmospheres, the natural side takes again its rights.

In terms of materials in vogue in the bathroom, stone, especially marble, and exposed wood are very successful. This style of covering is only relevant, however, if it blends with the design of the shower or bathtub. The layout of the room is therefore expected to be coherent as a whole, to avoid lack of taste.

However, we must not obscure the return of tiling in the bathroom as wall covering, which remains however sober. Ultracoloured earthenware thus disappears in favor of less garish colors. Porcelain stoneware, perfectly imitating wood or stone, will permanently occupy the first place in Bathroom trends 2022.

Finally, this year, the trend is the tiling of floors and walls in the form of increasingly large tiles, always in ideas of sobriety and modernity. On the other hand, there is no question of laying tiles everywhere, except in the case of very large formats (for example 260x120). The paint therefore completes the wall covering.

Note that zellige and terrazzo have made a comeback in small decorative touches. On this principle, it is possible to make a splashback on the wall where the basin is located, ending with a paint of strong color, like ocher, green, Cayenne or terracotta. What are the trendy colors in the bathroom in 2021?

Each year sees the emergence of new trends in bathroom colors. In 2021, while certain colors are preferred, others are abandoned in the context of a renovation or a new development.

The colors to adopt in a bathroom in 2022

The star of colors in bathrooms in 2021 is the marble effect! Dark streaks (gold) on a white background or vice versa, marble is essential for an appreciable chic side. However, care must be taken to adapt the taps, which must be contemporary, in particular so as not to create a discrepancy in the style. Obviously, in parallel, black and white are on the rise, although black is beginning to give way to guns.

On the tap side, some colors are more popular than others. This is particularly the case with rose gold, copper, gun and oxide. On the other hand, gold, chrome, black and stainless steel are losing ground. Their intermediary, gray, will also find its place in Bathroom trends 2022, whatever its shade, light or dark, with an accentuated trend towards greige or taupe. When the different colors are associated in a graphic way, with clearly defined contours, the effect obtained in the house is resolutely modern. This concerns both the floor and wall covering as well as the furniture or any other element of decoration in the bathroom.

Finally, in line with the strong dominance of styles reminiscent of nature, blue, green and brownish are very popular in Bathroom trends 2022
