Posted by Nicky Kingston in Inspiration | 5 years ago 4 min read

It’s out with the old and in with the new, as we take a look at some of the biggest and best bathroom ideas for 2019.

Here at VictoriaPlum.com, we’re the experts in bathroom design and passionate about bathrooms. We’re always looking months and even years ahead at upcoming trends in bathroom design. After taking part in the 2018 Ideal Home Show, we were excited to see just some of the amazing innovations and styles that are set to take the interior design world by storm in 2019.

In this article, we’ve used all our knowledge and years of experience to uncover the big bathroom trends for 2019, showing you what an on-trend bathroom will look like over the next 12 months.

Before we begin, have a read through our bathroom trend predictions for 2018 and see how bathrooms styles are changing. If you want to really see how things are changing, check out predictions from 2016 and even 2014.


Mindful interiors

How often do you set out to do even the simplest of tasks, like washing your hair, before something distracts you?

Mindfulness is set to gain more attention over the coming year, as more and more of us seek an antidote to our busy lives, where we're seemingly trying to do multiple things all at once. As a concept, mindfulness is all about taking time out from life, disconnecting yourself from the increasingly connected world in which we live and being slower, more thoughtful and single-minded in our approach to things.

Mindfulness mood board

A home and, more specifically, a bathroom that promotes mindfulness will be one of the key interior design trends for 2019. One of the reasons we flit between different thoughts and get distracted is clutter. An untidy and disorganised bathroom can easily lead to a jumbled mind, so it pays to simplify.

Here are our top tips for a mindful bathroom:

  • Choose simple products with no fussy embellishments—frameless shower enclosures, bamboo accessories and furniture with slender legs
  • Select a calming colour scheme—soft greys and peach are all naturally soothing, whilst shades of blue are known to help with relaxation
  • Pick subtle textures—for example, a matt finish isn't as harsh as gloss
  • Accessorise with soft materials for a comforting feel

Natural elements

In another backlash against the modern world, we should see a return to nature in 2019, with natural elements set to make a big impact.

Rustic bathrooms with wood finishes certainly proved popular in 2018, so it's hardly surprising that we're likely to see more earthy interiors and materials used. Leaf and fern motifs will be used in wall coverings and accessories, along with embossed florals and indoor plants, blurring the boundaries between indoors and outdoors.

Natural elements mood board

Here are our top tips for a bathroom with natural elements:

  • Search for products which replicate the natural environment—marble effect tiles, clear glass basins and waterfall basin taps
  • Choose an earthy colour scheme—moss green and taupe replicate seasonal shades, whilst warm ivory is calming and organic
  • Select textures which don't feel manmade—slate, wood and even rusted surfaces all produce a back-to-nature feel

Dark and mysterious

Dark interiors are nothing new, however, with new and intriguing sensory elements added to them, our bathrooms will take on a more mystical form in 2019. Starry night backdrops, illuminated borders and alien patterns will add a sense of the strange and fantastical to your bathroom design. An immersive showering experience will also give your space an extra-special touch.

Dark and mysterious mood board

Here are our top tips for a dark and mysterious bathroom:

  • Seek out products which use light in unusual ways—like LED glass panels or iridescent tiles
  • Keep black as your base tone but add in electric blues and mystical purples
  • Pick reflective textures like gloss, metallic and glittered surfaces for an amazing sensory experience
