Lisa Millbacher from Bespoke Bathrooms highlights current and prevailing directions in bathroom design. Our pick also demonstrates the staying power of certain elements, which explains their recurrence from season to season. Among the most successful:
Black and white— fabrics, flooring etc. — are always in style for their classic origins. Currently super popular, this combo has a cool graphic element to it.
Natural textures foster the sense of serenity that’s so essential in a bathroom space, and is oh-so relevant to a South African aesthetic.
Freestanding pieces allow for individuality to create a personal space and add a sense of emotion, as well as the option to change elements.
Bathrooms as living spaces are all about pampering — the whole experience should be a pleasure, not just perfunctory. Good craftsmanship is key in ensuring pieces last and finishes retain their sense of polish.
Traditional shapes are making a comeback, reinterpreted or kept in their original state.
