Bathroom Designs Trends
Bathrooms have evolved a great deal and now are subject to the same type of ‘makeovers’ that every other aspect of the home is. There are also trends and fashions in bathroom design and sometimes it is hard to know if they are just passing fads, or will actually be a sound way of improving your bathroom and bringing it more up to date.
A recent fashion trend for bathrooms has been the introduction of dual wash hand basins, so two people can use a wash hand basin at the same time, great if you both want to clean your teeth at the same time. However, it is hard to know if this trend will continue or if it is something which will simply date a bathroom in years to come. If you are considering putting in two basins, make sure that you actually have the room for it; the basins need to give each person adequate space, so that they do not feel they are in a public toilet, crammed up against the next person.
Some continental bathrooms also come with an optional bidet. Bidets were certainly popular during the 1980s, but now tend to be more prevalent in households where the householders are over 50. This may not be wholly in keeping with a bathroom design attempting to portray urban chic to anyone who comes in!
One trend which does seem to be here to stay is encasing radiator and water pipes, to give a very clean and uncluttered feel to a bathroom. It is unlikely that this trend will die out given the heat efficiency factor of these casings; so, of all the trends, this is probably the most recommended one, in terms of being contemporary but lasting.
