Homeowners all over Australia are now trying to take a spa-like bathroom approach in their bathroom design to create a calming environment by incorporating natural and smooth shapes and materials for this space. A feature that has just recently become popular is a stand-alone bath. Stand-alone baths are beautiful and they offer your bathroom a soothing ambiance.

2. A Pop of Colour
   
   Many home owners are opting for a pop of colour in their bathroom design, to brighten the space up and give it a little bit of a modern edge. Now, when we say a pop of colour, we’re only talking about a splash. For example, using light blue tiles for the flooring or incorporating a “pop of colour” feature wall, gives your bathroom some character. If you are working with a small bathroom space, we suggest sticking to lighter colours as it will make the space appear larger, however you can still incorporate colour into the décor or shelving.

3. Luxury Basins 
   
   People tend to underestimate the value and importance of basins. But, recently, unique basin designs have become increasingly popular in bathroom design. Plain, outdated basins are certainly a thing of the past, these days home owners are trying to get as creative as possible with basin shape and colour. So, get creative and go for something different! 

4. Unique Feature Points
   
   Finally, we all agree that feature furniture, appliances or décor is what really makes your home, homely; it’s the unique pieces that you choose yourself that really brings your home to life and makes it unique to you and your style. So, why not add character to the bathroom as well? There seems to be this idea that the bathroom should be simple and plain, and if that’s your preference then that is totally up to you. However, the bathroom is yet another room for you to showcase your personal style.  Proving popular is pendant lighting, they are a great feature to any bathroom, there are so many unique designs and styles provide interest as well as ambience to the space.
