A bathroom is a room in which we, of course, spend less time than in a kitchen or bedroom, but it is on its design that our mood and well-being largely depend, because here we carry out hygiene procedures, take care of our body and face, we are energized before the beginning of a new day and relax after returning from work.
It is natural that we make high demands on the arrangement of the bathroom – it must be functional, comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, and the materials must be reliable, resistant to moisture and temperature extremes. Fortunately, modern and practical trends fully meet these expectations, and we have prepared for you a review that will tell you what the 2020-2021 bathroom trends should be like.
Current bathroom trends 2021
Starting repairs, you should pay attention to fresh ideas in interior design. In 2020-2021, such chips will be bold color schemes, original textures, eco-friendly materials, conciseness and functionality.
A variety of styles are in fashion, ranging from classics to bold futurism and a democratic loft style, but at the same time, the style of the bathroom should correspond to the concept of the apartment as a whole.
An interesting approach is to make the bathroom a part of the common space, especially when it comes to the layout of a studio or a loft, or, if there is such an opportunity, to let in more light into it by making a window opening.
Regardless of whether there is a window in the bathroom or not, it should not be dark, so there should be several light sources.
Please note that now there is a clear tendency to combine the toilet and the bathroom – separate bathrooms are replaced by combined ones, since they provide more free space and design variations.
Choosing materials for the bathroom
Choosing the right materials is the key to a successful repair. Since naturalness is one of the main trends of the year as a whole, in addition to the usual ceramic tiles, which are still relevant, it is worth using natural stone, for example, marble, glass, wood, metal, and even concrete.
Tile is the traditional solution for the bathroom. It is distinguished by practicality, diversity, and a relatively affordable price.
In 2020-2021, instead of large rectangular elements, small mosaic details come into fashion, which look especially profitable in small rooms. Colored mosaics are combined with monophonic tiles of a neutral color.
If you give preference to complex geometric shapes, for example, hexagonal tiles, then show restraint in colors, otherwise you risk getting a tasteless colorful mix.
The bathroom will look really stylish, in which tiles of different textures will be combined – a duet of matte and glossy surfaces will be a great design find.
Another original option – volumetric areas made using ceramic 3-D fragments.
Wood at first glance does not seem to be the most suitable material for decorating a bathroom, but in fact, modern impregnations make it moisture-proof and wear-resistant.
Note! The use of wood in the decoration of the bathroom makes it cozier, warmer, and perfectly complies with the requirements of environmental friendliness. The tree looks most organically with white ceramics and the same snow-white tiles, but we do not recommend choosing a tree as the only material – get a kind of village bath.
The duet of wood and marble is the choice of people with a refined taste, giving the interior a touch of noble luxury.
Concrete is the material that fans of fashionable minimalism will choose, especially for the interior in the loft style or variations on the Scandinavian theme. Deliberate asceticism gives the room an originality and unique charm.
Interestingly, not only walls can be concrete, but also a sink, shelves, or even the bath itself. An excellent pair for concrete will be glass, both mirrored and frosted. And the real highlight will be taps and plumbing in black.
Furniture trends for a modern bathroom – functionality at the head
Furniture in a modern bathroom should not overload the space, but at the same time must cope with the functions assigned to it.
Traditionally, cabinets or hanging cabinets are used in the bathroom for storing cosmetics, hygiene items, towels and other things. Designers recommend making them extremely minimalistic.
The most advantageous option is one multifunctional closet that can accommodate everything from household chemicals to bathrobes. Some designers offer to disguise such a cabinet by making it in the form of a protrusion and decorating it with the same materials as the walls.
A great solution is the hanging cabinet under the sink. This is a fashion trend that will appeal to many – the cabinets do not seem massive, they look stylish, but differ in sufficient capacity.
You can equip the bathroom with light open shelves or whatnot – such structures will seem airy, visually increasing the space.
Bathroom lighting trends 2021
There should be a lot of light in the bathroom. Even if you are very lucky and you have a spacious bathroom with natural light, you still need a few additional light sources. If you have a small standard bathroom, then here you can not do without thoughtful multi-tiered lighting.
The main light source is best placed on the ceiling. It can be several built-in lamps, a diode strip, a ceiling lamp. Additional lights will help to delimit the space, highlight the most significant areas, for example, the area near the mirror. For this purpose, wall sconces, floor lamps, and other options are used, depending on the design style.
Do not forget that the lamps carry a decorative load and help create a cozy atmosphere in the bathroom.
Bath accessories trends
Most often, accessories in the bathroom in the bathroom have a dual function – practical and decorative. A small area does not allow overloading the space, so every detail, from towels to the stand for toothbrushes, must be carefully thought out so that all these things are combined with each other and the style of the bathroom as a whole.
If the bathroom is finished in a restrained manner, then accessories may well take on the role of stylish accents – a bright original soap dish, wall hooks, cups, a soap dispenser can greatly enliven the picture, become a kind of highlight of the interior.
Pay attention to the faucets of unusual shape and color – black taps, curved shower stands and other design features will make your bathroom special.
In 2020-2021, there is a tendency to add a bit of pure decorative art to the interior of the bathroom. If the size of the room allows, then why not decorate it with a picture or a wall panel? This technique will help create a relaxing aesthetic atmosphere.

Secrets of designing a small bathroom
In the conditions of a modern city, few people can boast a large spacious bathtub – most of us are limited to a few square meters, so you need to be very careful in planning a small bathroom.
Decide in advance what you really need in the bathroom, and what you can sacrifice, because to put a toilet, sink, bidet, bathtub, shower, a system for storing bath accessories, and sometimes a washing machine, is a task, which is likely to be impossible.
The solution to the problem can be a corner cabin with sliding doors, a compact hanging toilet, as well as the installation of a washbasin combined with a pedestal in which the washing machine is hidden.
The ceiling is best done in white, without additional decor. Glossy light walls and large mirrors visually expand the space and make the bathroom brighter. Many designers propose to make one wall completely mirror – so the room will seem twice as large.
Do not chase the abundance of furniture – one multifunctional cabinet or a spacious cabinet will be enough, and the facades can be made mirrored.
