INTERIORS 80s is retro
While many thought the ultra-common, retro avocado bathroom suites were a thing of the past, they’ve made an unexpected comeback. Whether it’s feature cabinets, freestanding bathtubs or old-school radiators; ‘period’ features are increasingly in demand in the bathroom, with accents being accentuated with complementary design or furniture pieces.
Mix & match
Neutrality has been replaced with contrasting colours, patterns or designs; beautifully working against each other to subsequently work well together. Whether it’s a variety of mixed-patterned wall coverings to achieve a bold, statement look or herringbone flooring against a ehoneycomb-finished bath, a client’s expression can be realised through a blend of complementary and competing aesthetics.
Tile wall designs
The mixing of tiles and panel patterns is very on-trend, too, with the focal point now becoming a stand-alone feature wall in the
bathroom. This can be a complex design of tile/panel, or a subtle contrasting wall. However, you don’t necessarily need tiles to provide the desired look. Tile- look bathroom wall panels can deliver it, without the usual accompanying headache of grout and silicone maintenance.
Food for thought
While architects will always be at the behest of new legislation or updated guidance, creativity and vision doesn’t need to be dampened in order to accommodate forthcoming changes. Quite the opposite, in fact: product innovations and new materials can be the solution to outdated, cookie-cutter specifications and enable the delivery of both style and sustainability requirements. Speedy to install (up to 15 times quicker versus traditional tiled walls), waterproof and with Forest Stewardship Council certification, wall panels may be the ‘no brainer’ solution for bathroom specification, providing future- proofed design.
