Sophisticated design, functionality and a high standard of customization are the three elements at the base of the trends in bathroom furnishings in 2020. These trends suggest minimal, urban-chic and contemporary style furniture with visible influences of vintage style. The aim is to create agreeable, comfortable and striking bathrooms without pomposity.
Contemporary style
The bathroom has become the most important relaxation area of the house. Interior designers dictate detailed guidelines for furnishing it stylishly. For this year, trends reflect contemporary style bathrooms in which practicality and elegance are guaranteed by essential and attractive fixtures of original shapes, highlighted by specially made lighting systems. Micro cement flooring or stone effect porcelain wall tiles are the must-have in modern bathrooms. The result will be a pleasant and elegant environment which will always be attractive and never ordinary.
Minimal style
Fixtures in minimal style are still preferred by most of the companies working in this field. Washbasins, sanitary ware, bathtubs and accessories with simple and geometric shapes, without any specific decoration, enhanced by gloss or matte finish, in white or natural colours are the best furnishing solutions when furnishing an elegant and trendy bathroom. Marble is one of the materials that best suits projects in the pursuit of minimal style.
Industrial style
Once again the industrial style proves to be another trend in the current year with furnishing elements that can recreate the typical atmosphere of large metropolitan lofts even in a private bathroom. Combinations of raw materials or recycled materials, visible water pipes, pieces of furniture with straight lines, together with flooring and small, ceramic, shabby chic wall tiles are the elements needed to achieve a fashionable bathroom. Among the sanitary ware collections which are able to reproduce industrial style environments you will find Tribeca by Kerasan which includes washbasins, toilets and bidets with strong and attractive contour lines that vividly recall those found in the well-known Manhattan neighborhood from which they take their name.
Northern European style
Ceramics, natural stones, wood and neutral colors - particularly white - are the canons of the Northern European style, which remains one of the fashion trends in 2020. The success of this style is due to the necessity of creating a warm, welcoming and refined atmosphere which is typical of the Northern European style, and which remains one of the most loved by those of us who conceive the bathroom as a domestic spa. For this purpose, if the installation of a sauna is impossible, a bathtub positioned in the center of the room, combined with design washbasins sitting on cabinets or wooden tops, is a viable solution for a trendy bathroom, where relaxing is a real pleasure. The NoLIta collection designed by Alessandro Paolelli, includes washbasins and sanitary ware of modern architectural design, ensuring enjoyable environments in terms of aesthetics and practicality.
Vintage style
New versions of old-fashioned bathrooms are recommended by current designers for furnishing new and very original bathrooms in a vintage style where the Victorian roll top slipper bath on 4 chromed or gold feet still plays an important role in interior bath design. The Waldorf collection, designed by Massimiliano Cicconi for Kerasan and inspired by the sanitary ware of the historic Hotel Waldorf-Astoria in New York city, is a perfect solution when creating a good alternative, a luxurious and delightful relaxation area thanks to its architectural design enhanced by unique details.
