When it comes to bathroom floors and wallsit is necessary to understand that the bathroom is no longer to be considered as a simple service environment, but as a part of the house to which particular attention must be paid, as much as, if not more, the living area. Not only because it is a space dedicated to ourselves and as such it must be particularly welcoming and in keeping with our personal taste, but also because in a few square meters it must be able to be aesthetically cared for down to the smallest detail and perfectly functional. This is clearly not a new concept for those who are passionate about interior design, but certainly over the last few years it is a topic that is perhaps no longer the exclusive prerogative of a select few, but is slowly entering the mentality and therefore in the homes of all. Choose the the right furnishing of your bathroom is essential because it will be a space in which you can dedicate a cuddle whenever you want. For this reason, today as never before, in the production and research of new onesflooring and bathroom coverings is paid and dedicated more and more attention. So let’s go and see what will be the news regarding bathroom design for the next 2018. Design bathroom furniture: what awaits us for 2018
Bathroom furniture2018 promises to be with a design characterized by minimalism and simplicity typical of the Nordic style, more particularly the Scandinavian one. A style inspired by industrial architecture, but also by the warm colors of wood and the solidity of stone. A taste that is able to combine technological progress and the wildest charm of a natural environment. This means that we will not see cold and angular shapes, but soft and rounded lines, rounded and welcoming profiles both as regards the sanitary fittings and the taps. Goodbye to high tech but impersonal accessories and welcome to accessories with more natural curves, but without obviously having to give up the technological aspect.
The elements of the new bathrooms are as pure as the materials that surround them, fitting into a chromatic context without frills and shabby frills but rather in a more essential and primitive environment. The bathroom tiles are disguised as needed from stone, wood or fabric, imitating their shapes, color, texture and tactile sensation. Dark colors such as black, anthracite gray and deep green alternate with white or pale powder pink. There are no bright colors, there are no chromatic contrasts: the nuances of the new trendy bathrooms blend naturally without ever being aggressive. The password is: matter. Between real natural materials and stoneware that imitate them to perfection, here are the bathroom floors and walls
As anticipated, the general trend of design bathroom furniture2018 and to focus a lot on the theme of natural materials in the pursuit of a refined and decidedly warm style. It doesn’t really matter if the material in question is real or just a successful imitation, but rather that the effect of the texture is absolutely realistic and moves away as much as possible from the colors and brilliance seen previously. The surfaces must be simple, smooth and opaque: whether it is a natural stone or a lived-in wood, whether it is a fabric or a marble, the only thing that must shine are only the taps and accessories in contrast. With a strong character, we will first of all see the natural stone used both in the choice of coatings and sanitary ware. Slightly irregular, material and imperfect, both to the sight and to the touch, stone has the strength and ability to always give an incredibly warm and naturalistic result. Wood, already cleared for the bathroom area for years, has now been definitively included among the ideal materials for creating a real spa in your own home, thanks also to the new treatments that allow it to last and be more resistant to humidity and to water. As for the use of marble, we will see both light colors such as Calacatta, Carrara or Statuario, and dark ones, mixing intense shades with the most delicate veins. thanks also to the new treatments that allow it to last and be more resistant to humidity and water.

The effect of marble is always of great elegance, it is clearly enough to choose the right shades according to the spaces without exceeding. Obviously, for those who do not want to invest in excessive amounts, there is the possibility of opting for cheaper, but nevertheless qualitatively valid and at the same time elegant and design solutions. As for the stone, sometimes imitated so well as to reproduce micro fossilizations and porosity, also for the marble there are in fact imitations in porcelain stoneware. It should be noted that now bathroom floors and wallsin this material they have evolved so much that it has become really difficult to be able to see the differences compared to the original materials. But the two trends in the use of stoneware imitating wood and fabric will undoubtedly be particularly innovative. For example, we could choose coatings inspired by the Japanese Yakisugi technique in which cedar wood was carbonized to make it more resistant and long-lasting, or choose surfaces that, through the aid of new digital technologies, are able to perfectly recreate the effect of linen or silk. Geometries of bathroom tiles and XL size tiles
Alongside the already consolidated bathroom tileswith geometric shapes in retro style, original and suggestive in their combinations on hexagonal or herringbone mesh that have so much depopulated in recent years, 2018 will see the emergence above all of bathroom tiles with extra large formats. The style of the fake recovery has perhaps definitively embarked on the path of sunset. The wall tiles that imitate the tiles of the past with designs and decorations made in series have probably tired and are giving way to more neutral coverings.
It is no coincidence that they also differentiate themselves as regards the format: if on the one hand the small decorated majolica tiles once installed give an Escherian effect in the overall combination, fragmented, polychromatic and heterogeneous, the large surfaces that today are instead sought are clear , monochromatic or slightly shaded, but with an overall effect of cleanliness and linearity. We are talking about slabs with measures such as 180 × 80 cm, but also of 320 × 160 cm cuts with an opaque and non-reflective effect which, as an alternative to marble and wooden planks, will be a perfect solution for creating smooth and homogeneous surfaces. What accessories and finishes to combine with bathroom ceramics
If with regard to bathroom floors and wallseverything has been said, one last topic remains to be addressed: that of finishes. 2018 will undoubtedly be the year of brass as regards taps and fittings. Having now definitively abandoned steel, it seems that the new frontier of design wants warm and shiny colors that make you forget the coldness of chrome. Without fear of a return to the excessive glitz of the 80’s bathrooms, all the shades from gold to rose gold, from rosé to copper will be the protagonists in trendy bathrooms, especially in combination with marble. Although it seems like a very classic combination, it must be said that the overall effect still manages to be modern and convincing. On the other hand, in the diametrically opposite direction, there are the new creations in the areas of heated towel rails: the new trendy heating elements from now on are in ceramic or cedar from Lebanon, with shapes that do not even remotely let you imagine that they are towel warmers and not precious sculptures. To complete this overall picture, a mention should be made of the backlit mirrors with LED technology. Incredibly evocative as regards their clear cut against the wall, they are able to create geometries that give character to the environment and at the same time lend themselves perfectly to their function of illuminating the washbasin area. a mention should be made of the backlit mirrors with LED technology.
