Top 7 Bathroom Floor Trends

Bathrooms and their design and interior are not a priority for many people renovating their houses. However, the way your restroom looks and feels is as important as it is with any other space in the house, although you don’t spend as much time in your bathroom. It has to feel cosy and convenient, aesthetically pleasing and bring you joy. No matter if it comes to a large master bathroom or a small powder room, you would enjoy making a statement with the interior and what better way to achieve that than by choosing a floor that will not only be functional but also the focal point?

Once you choose the right type of flooring for your bathroom in terms of design and functionality, half of the job is already done and from now on it is easier to set the tone and decide on the interior and design of the entire space. The type of floor and its design you are going to choose will provide the foundation for the whole room, this is why this is not a decision you have to make in a rush. Furthermore, considering the specific indoor conditions in this area of the house, you want the right type of flooring in terms of comfort and lasting power, easy to maintain, safe, and practical for cleaning too.

Renovating the bathroom is not that affordable, this is why you won’t undertake such a project that often. We highly recommend you choose a floor that is not just long-lasting, durable, and will look flawless without too much maintenance and exhausting cleaning, but also a floor with a style that is not trendy but timeless. So if you are about to upgrade your bathroom and you are considering choosing a new floor, here are the top 7 major trends and flooring accessories that are not just a one-day hit but are here to stay for a couple of decades for sure!

The Wooden Look

Gone are the days when wood used to be a non-suitable choice for bathrooms. Solid wood floors are not a great choice since they are sensitive to the high humidity and moisture in the bathroom. However, engineered timber is a great alternative that is prone to the environment of the toilet while still rocking the real wood’s beauty and elegance. Thanks to its specific crisscrossed construction, engineered planks are less prone to moisture and water damage and prone to issues caused by temperature fluctuations.

However, if you still don’t want to invest in an engineered wood floor for your bathroom, tiles mimicking the look of wood are still a great alternative for creating this amazing style. The look can be very realistic if you are willing to spend a bigger budget and you can find a great variety of styles, colours, and even classic parquet patterns. Chevron pattern and grey shades are super in right now and the wire brushed look with its subtle intentional scratches will give the bathroom a very unique and contemporary look.

The Monochrome Look

Minimalistic, monochrome, Scandinavian, or simply the B&W look, no matter how you call it, it is totally in right now and a great look for the bathroom as it is the base of a bunch of current styles, be it retro, vintage, or farmhouse. Black and white is a total classic for bathrooms and one of the most effortless styles of floor you can choose from as it is easy to mix and match with a bunch of accessories, colours, and interior ideas. It is a timeless style that can be achieved with a bunch of flooring materials, so you can go for wood, vinyl, or tiles. To spice things around and draw the focal point to the floor, we highly recommend you choose tiles that create intriguing and interesting patterns. Your eyes will be mesmerized as following the beautiful and elegant patterns.

Mosaics

Mosaics are back these days and the best thing about the mosaic pattern is that you can use different materials, colours, styles, and finishes and achieve a very unique floor that can be seen in your bathroom only. So if you are a fan of the one-of-a-kind pieces and you want to draw all the attention to the statement floor, mosaics are a great choice for you. Choose marble for a stylish and effortless design or go to the other side of the spectrum and bet on the classic parquet patterns, it is totally up to you, but there is no doubt that your bathroom will look simply amazing. No matter the flooring materials you are going to choose, you have the great freedom and flexibility to choose from a bunch of patterns, including subway style, small squares, herringbone, chevron, hexagons, basket weaves, and even Moroccan style.

Whites and greys

Once again, this trend for the interior of the bathroom offers great flexibility since you can have an amazing restroom floor that draws all the attention by using different materials. Whether it will be wood, tiles, or vinyl, it is totally up to you and what you find the most comfortable and suitable for your bathroom. However, the light and cool-toned shades of grey, cream and white are super current and a great choice in terms of making your bathroom appear significantly more spacious and open.

Radiant Heat Floor

Radiant heat flooring for your bathroom is the best way to get the best from both worlds of beauty and functionality. There is no doubt that a radiant heat floor is super convenient and a small luxury you will enjoy in your everyday life. For the last decade or so, heated floors are definitely on the rise and there is no wonder why people enjoy them so much. Radiant heat floors heat up quickly and they are a great choice for countries with a colder climate and heavy winters. Besides keeping your feet extra warm, such a choice is great as it is a solution to the moisture and humidity in the bathroom by helping the room to dry up quicker. The best part is that with the improvement of technology and the rise of their popularity, radiant heat floors are now super easy to install and significantly more affordable than 10 years ago.

Matte and honed finishes

Glossy finishes are, indeed, a golden classic, but the current trends are all about matte and honed finishes instead. Rising in popularity for many floor surfaces, from wood and natural stone to tiles and vinyl flooring, matter and honed finishes are not just modern and beautiful, but also very easy to maintain and keep clean and flawless. As an example, a wooden floor with a matte finish is extra better at camouflaging all the fine scratches and dents compared to a floor with a high gloss finish. When it comes to the bathroom, matte finishes are also a great choice because they make the floor’s surface safer and less slippery.

Geometric and linear shapes

When it comes to modern interiors for bathrooms, shapes and lines become increasingly popular these days. Whether it will be on the walls or the floor, geometric and linear shapes and patterns are super cool and can create a very intriguing and interesting interior. Just keep in mind the size of your bathroom and then you can decide on how many shapes and patterns you should use and how intriguing and engaging the patterns will be. Smaller bathrooms are not the right place for patterned walls and floors. However, with a wider master restroom, you can be more creative and wild.
