If you're thinking about renovating your bathroom this year, it's important to do your homework before committing to such a big investment. If you need a little help or inspiration, take a look at some of the most popular bathroom trends of the year to help you create the bathroom or wetroom of your dreams.

Here are 12 of the best bathroom trends of 2016

boutique style bathroom

One of the best things about staying in luxury hotels is the elegance of the bathrooms. You can recreate the timeless design in your own bathroom with elegant fittings and plenty of marble.

scandi-style

Minimalist and tidy. A lot of people are using natural wood and ample lighting as Scandinavian design continues to boom this year. This look particularly complements those with Clearwater Baths.

brassware

Brassware has been a prominent part of chic and minimalist designs in recent years, but the range of new brass finishes that manufacturers are offering this year means it's going to be a big year for brass fittings and fixtures.

white

Keeping it clean has always been what puts people off having a contemporary white bathroom vibe. However, people seem
to be taking the risk this year and are investing in beautiful Carron baths. White is the new black in the bathroom.

coloured ceramics

It may come as a surprise, but grey has been the most dominant shade throughout the home over the past year and a half. However, coloured ceramics have now become a lot more popular.

natural vibe

The natural look is popular with designers, who say that timber will continue to flourish in bathrooms. If you want to make the most of natural materials, try earthy materials such as stone and river rock on your tops, sinks and baths. They could work if you plan on investing in Roman showers.

duckboard flooring

Although it is usually used in boat building, timber duckboard flooring is making a big comeback in the bathroom and is popular with those seeking a warm feel to the room. The natural feel of the timber is great to walk on barefoot.

ambience

If you use your bathroom to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, why not put a dressing table in there and some mood lighting? You can wake up and feel as though you are walking into a hotel room every day.

industrial chic

Edgy industrial-style bathroom designs are on the
rise this year. The concrete-look tiles are expected to cement
themselves as a favourite on walls and floors.

big tiles

Wave goodbye to mosaics and slender subways, because oversized tiles are going to be a key trend in 2016. These big tiles are both stylish and space-enhancing. They're also a lot easier to clean.

leafy

A big trend in 2015 and the lush and leafy look continues to thrive this year. Bring the outside indoors and integrate plants as a part of your bathroom design.

metallics

Metal has been a big trend for years, and its popularity does not seem to be dwindling. Metal finishes offer you glamour and a stunning contrast with natural materials.
