Exciting new trends in bathrooms in 2015
The modern bathroom has evolved from the boring, dull, and squeezed room at the corner of the house to an elegant, relaxing room where you have your personal space to rejuvenate your body after a hard day's work. The year 2015 has ushered even more innovative, luxurious and multifunctional bathrooms that offer you an exclusive, personalized relaxation when you spend your time in there.
Bathroom designs in 2015 take to account the creation of a warm, living room like ambience with comfortable furniture, beautiful lighting, aesthetic designs, lots of space and attention to details. Here are a few trends that are making headlines in 2015.
Multi water control systems
In 2015, we are saying goodbye to basic bathtub taps and welcoming new, smart, user-friendly water control fixtures. There are thermostatic mixers that control water from multiple sources of water. There also touch-screen operated showers. These fixtures give you control over the mix, flow and temperature of the water.
Designers are also installing double showers where there is a bathtub, handheld shower and an overhead shower. Each shower can have its individual settings or have one mixer controlling multiple showers of a combination of bath and shower.
Freestanding bathtubs
Freestanding bathtubs are rapidly replacing the old bathtubs fixed by the corner of the house. Freestanding bathtubs do not only create more room in the house, but they also come in striking aesthetic, sculptural shapes and designs that help shape the mood of the bathroom. It helps you'relax even better. You can also install a semi-insert bathtub where one'side is fixed to a wall (so that you have a platform to place soaps and shampoos), and the other part left is left hanging.
Custom vanities
Most people want to have custom-made vanities that could serve could serve their needs rather than installing mass-produced vanities. Such vanities feature a floating basin, additional storage space on top and the sides, and flash mounted wall storage that can be opened with a touch of a button. You can also have sleek or aesthetic vanity designs that match your taste and preferences.
Walk-in showers
Rather than the squeezed bathroom of the past, the new walk-in showers are very large. They come in solid wall, oversized glass panes and enclose such a huge space. They give a bigger room to indulge yourself in rejuvenating your body and soul.
Superb metallic fixtures
Some more exciting metals with all sorts of colors and finishes are now replacing the typical stainless steel metallic fixtures. The new popular metals gracing the bathrooms include chrome, oil-rubbed bronze, brushed nickel. There are also lots of copper, brass and bronze metallic fixtures. Stainless steel is still being used although it is not as exciting as the rest of the new entrants.
There are several other designs such as water saving toilets, LED lighting, steam showers, whirlpool bathtubs, pedestal sinks among many others. There is still many more designs expected before the year ends.
