Bathrooms have been elevated to oases of calm and sanctuary, writes Anél Lewis

Bathrooms have moved beyond the purely functional to becoming curated spaces offering a spa-like retreat from the demands of working from home. Combinations of colors, textures, and natural materials that create bespoke bathrooms with a distinctly personal touch are among the key design trends for 2022.

COLOUR ME CONTEMPORARY

Matt black is a sought-after colour choice, especially as it gives contemporary brassware a bold profile, says Emma Joyce, brand manager (bathrooms) of Victoria + Albert Baths. Italtile agrees that matt black is being used a lot – from taps to basins and cottage pen shower screens.

But blues and greens also feature prominently as nature takes the lead in design inspiration. White remains a timeless classic, especially for subway tiles – a key bathroom trend. And custom-designed wallpaper is popular as it allows you to create a space unique to your home.
