Bathroom Trends to Look Out For in 2023

Keep reading to find out how our distinctive concrete basins can work within these trends for ideas to incorporate into your next bathroom project. Get ready to explore how the addition of colour, texture and pattern will give your home a touch of luxury and provide a refreshing change from the conventional design.

Tactile Textures

In an increasingly digital world, people are becoming more drawn to tactile textures in their living spaces to engage the senses and bring us closer to reality. For those who prefer to maintain a quiet and minimal style, shades of off-white, cream and beige are becoming more prominent and adding textures is a great way to elevate a minimal palette. A perfect example is our Oska basin image in Wheat which is paired against chalky, lime render surfaces and organic materials, lending it a sense of understated elegance. Our concrete is full of texture and character, so pairing the basin with other raw materials and wooden accents creates a layered feeling of depth and interest. As a result, even when using a softer colour scheme, the bathroom will feel more coherent and visually appealing, whilst providing a sense of contrast and balance.

Expressive Maximalism

A niche and personalised trend, the maximalist style encapsulates an abundance of patterns, textures and materials with our colourful concrete basins fitting right in. To achieve this trend, a space must be bold, opulent and unapologetic in its use of design elements. Our signature splash-back basins like the Elm basin can be mixed against playful wall-coverings with a variety of colours and designs to produce a distinctive design statement. This is certainly a trend that will persist into 2023 and is perfect for those who want to reflect their unique style and personality quirks.

1970s Revival

1970s-inspired designs have slowly been making a comeback into interiors over the last couple of years and are set to be a big trend for 2023. Famous for its experimentation with geometric patterns and bold, warm colour combinations, the 1970s were full of energy and fun. Today's take on the style is slightly more refined while still creating designs that are full of personality and energy. With its nostalgic retro feel, our fluted Luna basin channels a contemporary take on 70’s style exceptionally well when combined with playful tile patterns and a warm colour palette. While the 1970s may not match everyone’s taste, when executed well this unique style always proves successful.

Timeless Panelling

With a recent resurgence of classical design elements, heritage styles are being reinvented through a mix of traditional wall panelling with contemporary styles and colour palettes. Both practical and affordable to implement, wall panelling can be used in a variety of ways to add depth and character to a bathroom or cloakroom. Traditional style panelling can be used to frame the basin like our Pitch featured in the image below, to create more of a focal point and add impact. Painting the panelling in a neutral colour to highlight the concrete basin will add sophistication and depth to the space while pairing it with contrasting colours and patterns will add personality and drama.

Warm Tones

Colour trends for 2023 are set to focus on rich, warm tones of rust, browns and deep reds. It is also clear from the ongoing popularity of our own colours that Ember, Crimson, Brick and Clay will be leading tones this year. By acting as both accent and grounding elements for the room, the warmer hues from these colours can give bathrooms a sense of comfort & stability while still adding drama and energy. Our Nilo A1 in Brick is the perfect example of this and portrays a sophisticated combination of rich reds and warm browns to create a comforting injection of colour to this bathroom space. Although the deeper reds will provide a subtle element of drama, these colours will undoubtedly create a calm & refined ambience that most homes need to reinvigorate.

Bathrooms, particularly small cloakrooms and powder rooms, are a great place to explore your creativity and experiment with design trends. Whether you opt for softer textures or more daring colour palettes and patterns, these trends combined with our basins offer the ideal opportunity to have fun with design and showcase your unique personality.
