What’s Hot in 2019: Bathroom Décor Ideas

Can you believe that we’re almost into the second month of 2019?! With a new year comes a whole new variety of design trends for every room in your home, including the bathroom.

Updating your look doesn’t have to mean starting over from scratch. From brightening up paint on the walls to installing a more contemporary tub, it’s simple to give your space a new look for this year and many years to come.

Here are 5 ideas to get you started:

1. Add some Living Coral.

   2019’s Pantone Color of the Year was announced earlier in the year. Expect to see the vibrant yet mellow Living Coral in everything from paint colours to clothing, especially in the spring and summer.

   Pantone is considered the authority on colour and picks a new one each year based on everything from art and music to socioeconomic conditions.

   Living Coral gives a fresh look to tired colours and is a quick way to inexpensively update your washroom – look for this sunny shade in towels, paint, and accessories.

   Choosing a softer coral paint colour serves double duty: it gives off a soothing look and hides scuffs and marks well.

2. Let floral patterns bloom.

   It’s no surprise that one of 2019 décor trends is floral patterns – they’ve made the list for several years now. Floral-patterned wallpaper is big on interior designers’ lists – from tiny blossoms to oversized blooms.

   Your washroom is the perfect place to add some blossoms to make everything look cheery. If you’re not comfortable covering all four walls with floral wallpaper, accessorize more subtly on your vanity cabinet or artwork.

3. Upgrade to frameless sliding glass shower doors or a tub.

   The style continues to move away from clunky tubs and opaque shower doors that seem to be a staple in lots of houses.

   Instead, people are gravitating towards contemporary frameless sliding glass shower doors or bathtub enclosures that make any area look open and expansive.

   Because they’re so sleek, frameless glass shower doors and bathtub enclosures are ideal whether you’re in a large home or a condo. Not only are these bathtub enclosures and showers ultra-modern, they’re also environmentally friendly and easy to clean.

   

4. Check out tile backsplashes.

   Also popular in kitchens, bathroom backsplashes are big in 2019. Along with softer-hued tiles, you’ll see more tile backsplashes that make statements with bright hues and intricate mosaics.

   Worried about overwhelming a room with a backsplash? Stick to a smaller space, such as behind the sink or across one wall, rather than covering an entire area.

5. Minimize clutter and create a natural scene.

   Many people are moving away from shelves packed with shells and soaps to calmer, cleaner spaces. A lot of this has to do with Marie Kondo’s bestselling book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing.

   It sold over a million copies and has greatly impacted home design and organization. Choose a few key pieces rather than filling up every corner with knickknacks, decorative pieces and candles. Incorporate natural elements such as wood, bamboo and fresh flowers wherever you can.

Many people are overwhelmed by the thought of renovating or refreshing their living space. However, it doesn’t have to be difficult. With your imagination, these tips and some professional help, you can create something gorgeous and practical!
