Tapware Trends To Follow In 2018

If you’re looking at renovating your bathroom in 2018, you’re probably looking at what the latest bathroom trends are and thinking about what kind of look you want for your new bathroom. At Perth-Fection Plumbing, we like to keep on top of the latest bathroom trends so here are 4 tapware trends to follow in 2018.

 

Tapware Trend 1 – Brass Is Back

We’re not sure if brass has ever really gone out of fashion, but 2018 may see it making more of a splash than ever before.

With many interior designers trying to achieve a modern feel with some old school charm, brass tapware is definitely on the map for 2018.

 

Tapware Trend 2 – Wall Mounted Taps

With houses and apartments getting smaller and smaller, home owners are constantly looking for ways to save space in their homes. Bathrooms can be one of the trickiest rooms to effectively save space because there are certain elements that are necessities, not just nice-to-haves!

To this end, incorporating wall mounted taps helps to save space especially where you only have room for a small or narrow sink. Not only do they save space, but they look pretty stylish too.

 

Tapware Trend 3 – Coloured Taps

You may need to have a bold eye for design, but coloured taps are ideal if you really want to grab attention in your bathroom.

The key with using coloured taps is to ensure you carry the colour throughout the room. Use the same colour for other bathroom accessories like towel rails, door knobs or shower heads for continuity. Be careful how far though as you don’t want to end up with it looking a bit garish!

 

Tapware Trend 4 -Matte Taps

Matte tapware gives a clean and sophisticated edge to any bathroom. Most often found in black, they are ideal for monochromatic bathrooms, making your bathroom feel, modern and sleek, with only the slightest touches.

Tapware Trends To Follow In 2018

What’s Your Current Home Style?

Your bathroom should match your overall home style.

It would be odd to create an ultra-modern bathroom in a country home with vintage styling.

However, it’s not a room you want to be renovating just because your décor has changed, so think about whether you’ll be updating the rest of your home to a different style in the near future too.

If you’re going to be renovating and redecorating your home soon, tie in your new bathroom style with your plans for the rest of the home.

Who’ll Be Using The Bathroom?

Another big consideration is who will be using the bathroom, now and in the foreseeable future.

Will it be used just for you and your partner?

Does it need to be a family bathroom that the whole house can use?

Do you have any elderly people in your home and therefore have to consider their needs as they age as well?

Who uses the bathroom can very much affect the style of bathroom you choose.

How Much Space Do You Have?

We’d all love a bathroom that easily accommodates everything we want in it, but sometimes we’re restricted by the space available.

Look at how much space you have available, and work out what you can physically fit in the bathroom. You might want a shower and a separate bath, but it might not be possible to do.

A good bathroom renovation specialist will do their best to build in clever features and storage to help you pack as much into your bathroom as possible without making it feel overcrowded.

What’s Your Bathroom Renovation Budget?

As much as you’d like to splash the cash and only have the best of the best for your bathroom renovation, it’s good to have a budget in mind that works for you.

Our bathroom renovations team in Perth can help you design and estimate the cost of your bathroom renovation so there are no nasty shocks along the way.

What Can’t You Live Without?

Think about the elements you can’t live without while planning your bathroom renovation.

Are twin sinks non-negotiable? Could you live without a bath if it meant more room for a larger shower?

Make a list of your must haves and nice to haves before you start getting bathroom renovation quotes.

What Bathroom Style To Choose

Classic Bathroom

A classic bathroom style is ideal if you don’t want to update your bathroom again for a while. Use one or two colours, with no bold patterns that could date easily.

Go for formal yet elegant fixtures and fittings, nothing overly dramatic or bold.

 

Modern Bathroom

Modern bathrooms use sleek materials like glass, stone, and stainless steel.

Avoid clutter, keep accessories to a minimum and keep lines clean.

Modern bathrooms often use bold patterns or colours – see what’s on trend in bathrooms and take your inspiration from that.

 

Shabby Chic Bathroom

Shabby chic is still a popular bathroom style. You can mix and match different elements and then use a single colour to link all your elements together.

It exudes a comfy lived-in look, so shop around at second-hand stores and markets for interesting pieces to add to your bathroom.

 

Country Bathroom

Country style bathrooms are ideal for rural properties. Using light wood for some of the key pieces in your bathroom like vanities and towel rails, you can really bring your country look to life.

If using fabrics, go for striped, floral or plaid patterns.

Bring some personal touches to the bathroom with vintage accessories or furniture like high-backed chairs and freestanding tables for your sinks.
