The new bathroom trends of 2022 are here! If you have been looking to remodel your bathroom and modernize it, read this list to gain some inspiration:

1. Spa Vibe

Giving your bathroom a spa vibe will create a relaxing and luxurious atmosphere. Ways you can create this aesthetic is by adding things like your favorite scented candles and colorful crystals. If you want to take it further, painting your walls and keeping your furniture a vibrant color scheme will do wonders.

A spa aesthetic is about creating a peaceful environment, and so decluttering your bathroom and keeping things as minimal as possible will create this beautiful vibe.

2. Bold Wallpaper

You can spice up your bathroom by adding fun and vibrant wallpaper. If you want to give your peaceful bathroom more boldness, this can do the trick! There are many different designs you can choose from, like floral patterns or beachy designs.

Bold Wallpapers were quite popular in the 1980s and it seems like they’re making a comeback in 2022!

3. Marble

Marble has been used throughout time as this classy and luxurious aesthetic never fully disappears. If your focus is on creating a more elegant design, marble will definitely be a great element option. Classic white marble with either gold or gray veins is quite popular, as well as black marble.

Although, Marble is quite a pricey choice. If it is out of your budget, selecting porcelain tiles with a marble effect may be the best alternative.

4. Plants

If you want to give your bathroom a more natural or serene design, adding plants to your space can really give it a new look. You can purchase low-maintenance house plants online or in many different stores.

You can add them to your window stills, room corners, or even create a wall of plants!

5. Colorblocking Zones

Bringing out the color in your bathroom definitely gives it a lively vibe! If this is your preferred aesthetic, creating a color block design can be the perfect option for you. You can acknowledge the three main areas of your bathroom, such as the sink, toilet area, and shower zone, by matching them with a singular colored tile option.
