Have you always wanted a stunning bathroom that is bang on-trend? To help inspire you, we’ve come up with these 7 amazing contemporary bathroom ideas for 2020 and beyond.
Before you begin browsing, what actually is a “contemporary bathroom”? Well, “contemporary” can be defined as “belonging to or occurring in the present”, so in this sense, it is any type of bathroom style which is popular now. Of course, trends and tastes can change quickly (remember those coloured bathroom suites from the 1980s?!), which is why we’re looking ahead to 2020.
Contemporary shouldn’t be confused with “modern”, which is a distinct style in its own right. Modern designs first came to the fore during the inter-war years, from the 1920s right through to the 1950s, when the ornate and overly embellished products of the Edwardian and Victorian eras, were replaced by simplified designs using exciting new materials like plastic and vinyl.
So with all this in mind, let’s take a look at some stunning contemporary bathroom ideas which we feel will be a big hit in 2020.
1. Family style
The first of our contemporary bathroom ideas is this stunning family bathroom. Featuring a multi-functional shower bath and thermostatic shower, it the perfect shared space.
With patterned shower wall panels, as well as a subtle grey colour palette, this truly is a contemporary space. To add a more organic feel, we’ve also included some warm wood touches, with the bamboo bath board, duck board, stool and towel shelf.
