The shower (re)takes power
Popular for many seasons, the free-standing bathtub will seriously lose ground in 2024 in favor of the shower. This takeover is mainly linked to environmental concerns and the desire to better control water consumption. Another major factor comes into play: the desire to maximize space in the bathroom. Objective: to have a functional room, in which you can move around pleasantly.
Walk-in shower or cabin shower are therefore available in an XXL version. To showcase it or to isolate the sink area, we rely on the arch, a must-have for the 2024 bathroom. And we pay particular attention to the choice of accessories.
If the neo-industrial look still works, this year we’re focusing on refined finishes to enhance the shower: “New for 2024, the ‘gun metal’ color is coming to the bathroom, for a stunning piece! First observed on faucets, the gun metal trend is now available on walk-in showers, shower doors and bath screens. », observes Joséphine Druesne.
“Big success in 2023, gold in the bathroom still has a bright future ahead of it in 2024! », Specifies the expert. “And you don’t need to like bling-bling to succumb to the gold trend: we have developed a range of products incorporating little touches of gold to subtly revamp your bathroom.”
The bathroom takes on color
In 2024, color will take over our interiors. And in the bathroom? “We are seeing a decline in consumer enthusiasm for white in favor of more modern and punchy colors. »
Unsurprisingly, we find the most trendy shades of green and blue in the bathroom: sage green, olive green, midnight blue or aquamarine blue. However, it is the warm colors that are popular, starting with earthy colors such as burnt orange or terracotta. We also find sunnier shades such as ocher.
Red and its many variations such as plum or burgundy are also among the essential decorative colors found in the bathroom this year.
When it comes to neutrals, we focus on the brown palette, opting for a delicious warm brown or a cooler taupe shade, or even beige.
The bathroom becomes a creative space
Very trendy in 2024, tiles still adorn the bathroom. We find it in the Italian shower, which we particularly like in the monochrome version, with full tiling from floor to ceiling.
If we cannot do without tiling in the 2024 version of the bathroom, it is because it allows extremely personalized compositions, and we do not hesitate to combine different formats by varying the textures and finishes. Although cement tiles are losing ground, the zellige effect is still being talked about.
Classic ceramic or wood-effect tiles can be adopted with a 3D effect, with a predilection for the fluted look.
Driven by the craze for retro decor inspired by the 1980s, terrazzo is another major 2024 trend in interior tiling. In the bathroom, it covers the floor and walls equally.
Mineral decor remains one of the major trends for 2024, with a predilection for natural stone effect tiles. We finally fall for the refined aesthetic of marble again and again, which we adopt in particular to highlight the shower.
We get it: the 2024 bathroom is refined and impeccably structured. To embrace the trend, traditional tiling is not the only option. Aurlane, in particular, offers an interesting alternative: “Our new colors of stone wall panels will dress the walls of your bathrooms in no time for an immediate wow effect! »
To enhance the bathroom, we take care of all the details. “The rough lines that we could previously observe on the walls or shower cubicles are definitely disappearing in favor of much finer, harmonious and refined lines,” recalls Joséphine Druesne. And when it comes to decorative accessories, we focus above all on pieces with impeccable design.
The bathroom is transformed into a comfortable space
In 2024, the bathroom undoubtedly has a sharp look. Above all, we want it to be extremely functional. And high-tech equipment is still struggling to convince, we rely without hesitation on equipment designed to offer maximum comfort on a daily basis.
Among the elements that we adopt without hesitation, the shower screen with shelf and integrated towel holder, or the shower cabin with extra flat tray, allowing people with reduced mobility to easily access their shower space without effort .
When it comes to furniture, hanging furniture definitely takes center stage. We love them for their ability to give lightness to the decor, while making daily bathroom maintenance easier.
Wood – the warm touch in the bathroom
At the top of the trendy materials in 2024, wood is of course very present in the bathroom.
Wood is particularly present in the Scandi bathroom – very trendy in 2024. It also delicately warms up the modern bathroom.
If we find it on the wall or through the furniture, wood can also be found in the bathroom thanks to pieces of small furniture such as the stool or accessories.
