What does the bathroom mean to you?

- Practical and easily maintainable (hygienic) place.
- Bathrooms are relaxing, often described as a sanctuary and a serene and tranquil outlet.
- There is a natural theme taking over bathroom design – through appearance/colour choices and material use.
- New storage options have been implemented – compartments in drawers, recessed shelving in shower areas & around bath tubs, "his and her" amenity boxes and additional towel compartments in vanity cabinetry.
- Popular bathroom design is setting a new trend in featuring outdoor elements and connecting the interior to the exterior (nature) – i.e. Either a door leads to an outdoor area, views of breathtaking outdoor scenery or the inclusion of natural elements within the interior design; such as, plants to help reflect the feeling of being outdoors.
- More open plan architecture is applied, with freestanding elements as part of the design layout.
- Bathrooms now can easily flow into the master bedroom or other rooms, taking on the main design themes of the overall room it connects to.
- Bathrooms incorporate less materials reflecting less complex spaces.
- Bathroom lighting techniques have improved with more natural light elevating the design space – i.e. there has been a reduction in the use of smaller windows. Larger windows and floor to ceiling windows are now part of common design practice.
