Sleek, built-in bathtubs used to be the height of style, however they’re beginning to lose their popularity in favour of freestanding tubs. In fact, some bathroom designers are doing away with bathtubs completely and replacing them with large, walk-in showers. However, if you really can’t do without your relaxing soak in the bath, a free standing soaking tub will say that you’ve got your finger on the pulse when it comes to bathroom design.

  1. Trough sinks

Although trough sinks may sound like they should belong in a stable, they’re actually far more elegant than their name suggests. In fact, they are more accurately described as a ‘double sink’ as they’ve been designed to accommodate two people washing at once. Whilst we can’t see an occasion when we’d want to wash with someone else, they are extremely convenient when you need to hand wash large items.

  1. Square shaped fixtures

While silver coloured hardware is always a perennial favourite, this year will see brass, gold, platinum, and stainless and brushed steel vying for attention.

A display of neatly rolled up towels on open shelving is an easy way to add Zen-like spa style to your bathroom, and to add some 2016 style. There are many ways to include open shelving in your bathroom, from sleek, bathroom vanity units to shelves built into the wall. While this trend can look fantastic if you’re the kind of person who loves order and simplicity, if you’ve got lots of bathroom clutter to hide, you may prefer to incorporate some closed shelving too.
