Designing a bathroom can be an exciting and fulfilling task. However, as you plan your dream bathroom, it is important to consider how easy it will be to clean and maintain its pristine condition. The good news is that with a few smart choices, you can have a bathroom that is both beautiful and easy to clean. In this blog post, we’ll share some tips to help you design a bathroom that is easy to clean.

Size of your tiles

Abacus Genus Porcelain Marble Tile 60 x 60

One of the things that you can do to ensure that your bathroom is easy to clean is to pay attention to the size of your tiles. If you go for larger tiles, like the Abacus Genus 60cm x 60 cm, you will have less grout space to clean. Additionally, porcelain tiles that can be installed close together will minimize grout space even further. This means that you will have fewer hard-to-reach nooks and crannies where dirt and grime can accumulate.

Bathroom Furniture

Duravit D-Neo Single Drawer Vanity Unit

Be mindful of the furniture and fixtures you select for your bathroom since they can contribute to the ease of cleaning. While ornate cabinetry and shelving may look fantastic, it’s essential to assess how easy it will be to clean fully. Simple, streamlined designs, such as the D-Neo from leading brand Duravit, will make cleaning a breeze since there will be fewer nooks and crannies for dirt to get caught in.

Countertops and Basins

Abacus Lastra Matt Porcelain Tile

When choosing materials for your vanity countertops and basins, it is essential to be mindful of their susceptibility to scratches, chips, and stains. For example, if you love marble countertops and basins, keep in mind that they are prone to scratches and stains. On the other hand, stainless steel is more scratch-resistant, but it can show water spots, so be sure to choose materials that will align with your cleaning preferences.

Bathroom Walls

Selecting the right paint for your bathroom walls is one of the simplest and smartest things you can do to make maintenance a breeze. Choose paint that is easy to clean, wipe down, and is resistant to mold and mildew. Semi-gloss or high-gloss paint sheens will make bathroom walls easy to clean since they can withstand moisture, which is a significant factor in bathroom cleaning. An alternative to tiling is the range of Multipanel Shower Wall Panels. 100% waterproof the panels  are available in a range of sizes and finishes.

Ventilate your bathroom

Finally, proper ventilation in your bathroom is a critical factor to consider. Without proper ventilation, moisture will accumulate on surfaces, leading to unwanted mould and mildew growth. When designing your bathroom, consider installing an efficient extractor fan that will control moisture levels. We recommend the Origins Airflow Icon 15 Extractor Fan. A bathroom that is well ventilated will be easier to clean.

Final Thoughts

Building a bathroom that is easy to clean is dependent on making smart choices at the design and selection phase. From choosing the right tiling, fixtures, and paint, to ensuring adequate ventilation, creating a low-maintenance bathroom is achievable. By prioritizing functionality and sustainability alongside aesthetics, you will be able to create a bathroom that is both beautiful and easy to maintain. Indulge in your bathroom design fantasies, but remember that functionality, ease of cleaning, and low maintenance should always be the top priority.

We often get asked how to make a small bathroom look bigger, without going to the expense of a complete bathroom remodel. Here are a few tips and ideas that can make your space look larger than it actually is.

Keep your bathroom clutter free and simple

By far, the easiest and most effective way to make a small space appear larger is to keep it free of clutter.  Less is more in this case, keep the space simple and as minimal as possible. Organisation is key so bathroom storage is important to give you somewhere to keep your toiletries and any cleaning products. This will give a small bathroom a lighter, more open feel. We love the bathroom storage in the VitrA Sento range, Scandi styling, modern and offering a great choice in colour, size and storage options.

Don’t clutter your vanity unit with beauty products or other items keep them tucked away and one or two pieces to decorate such as a plant or candle.

Paint all four walls the same

While most of us love an accent wall this will make the space look smaller so we’d recommend keeping all four of your bathroom walls the same colour. And when it comes to colour keep it lighter.  Lightly coloured walls will open up your space and make it look and feel bigger than it is.

Light walls give the illusion of space

Choose wall mounted

Small spaces will look bigger if you choose wall mounted bathroom furniture and a wall mounted toilet. These will appear to be floating and give the idea of ‘space’ adding to the openness of your bathroom overall. It’s all about illusion – your eye will be drawn to the space underneath these objects and that gives the illusion of more space. A great wall mounted WC is the Villeroy & Boch Subway 2.0 Direct Flush Rimless Wall Hung Toilet.  This bundle includes everything you need for a complete installation, including the wall-hung pan, soft-close seat and rimless flush technology.

Install well-placed lighting

Bad lighting can make even the biggest room feel tiny. Consider adding lighting around your vanity or putting in some recessed lighting in the ceiling. The Origins Arc LED strip reel is available in either Warm White or Natural White and can be used around your bathroom vanity unit, mirror or along any countertop. It can work wonders to brighten up the space. And if you can add a window for some natural light, that is even better. The key is to make your space as bright as possible, which will create a much more open and inviting atmosphere.

Uncluttered Minimalist Styling

If you prefer a more simplistic look, uncluttered minimalist styling may be right up your alley. This involves keeping surfaces clear and free of clutter, as well as using clean lines and simple shapes in furniture and fittings. You may also want to consider using hidden storage to keep things out of sight.

Backlit Mirrors

Backlit mirrors are a must-have in any modern bathroom. Not only do they look great, but they’re also very practical as they provide extra light when needed. You can choose from a variety of designs, from simple rectangular mirrors to more elaborate ones with built-in shelving or cabinets.

Origins Kingstone Tunable LED Mirror

Seamless Glass Showers

For something really sleek and modern, why not install a seamless glass shower? These showers have clean lines and no visible frames or joints, giving them a very minimalistic look. They’re perfect for small bathrooms as they don’t take up much space and make the room appear bigger than it actually is. Just be aware that glass showers do require more maintenance than other types – they need to be cleaned regularly to prevent soap scum build-up.

Interior designers across the globe are loving Japandi – the simple and functional shared focus from Japan and Scandinavia.

Japanese and Scandinavia styling

More and more of us are wanting a spa-like bathroom. The zen-like, tranquil settings of the natural hot springs found throughout Japan provide inspiration.

Scandinavia or ‘Scandi’ style bathrooms with their minimalist, sleek and functional offering have also become hugely popular, this popularity has been further influenced with crime dramas such as The Bridge, The Killing, Thin Blue Line and The Valhalla Murders! And don’t we all like a good shop at Ikea!

Whilst there are obvious differences, Scandi and Japanese styles have lots in common. For instance, they both make use of organic, natural materials and both use textures resulting in a contemporary, simplistic look.

Let’s have a look at what Japandi is

Japandi is a fusion of styles from both Japan and Scandinavia. To understand this further we need to consider three concepts; wabi-sabi, lagom and hygge.

Wabi-sabi translates from Japanese as ‘finding the beauty in imperfection’. Think of a natural form that is far from perfect yet still beautiful because of its imperfections. Such as a piece of oak with splits, growth rings, irregular grains and knots. These imperfections make each piece of wood unique, adding character and enhancing the beauty of this natural material.

Lagom comes from the Swedish proverb “lagom ar bast” meaning “just enough”. Lagom translates to keeping simple and free of clutter.

Hygge is a Norwegian/Danish word and is more of a feeling that you get when you are home, when you are warm and cosy, happy and relaxed. Imagine being in front of a roaring log fire, sat on a gorgeous sheepskin rug – that is hygge.

Japanese and Scandinavian – similarities in design

Both Japanese and Scandinavian cultures place high value on quality and workmanship and produce minimalistic, simple furniture. Both also use organic, natural materials such as wood, stone and glass. Similarities in design can also be found in the use of natural colours, with both favouring a neutral palette for their interior design.

What are the features of Japandi styling?

Japandi features the use of natural, organic materials and natural colours. Styling is simple and uncluttered and sustainability is at the heart of Japandi with items built to last, handmade yet functional pieces are used wherever possible.

When you imagine Japandi style then think harmony, tranquility and relaxation.  Your Japandi bathroom will be the place where you can chill and de-stress.

How to get the Japandi look

The main thing to remember when you’re creating your Japandi bathroom is to keep it simple, don’t crowd the room, don’t overdress the space. Choose your fixtures and fitting with care, buying pieces that are durable and that will stand the test of time.

Keep your colour palette neutral to achieve the Japandi look. Add plants to enhance the natural feel of your bathroom. Opt for ambient lighting and use organic materials in your design such as a wooden vanity unit or shelving.  Granite and stone are other natural materials that work well to achieve the Japandi style.

A freestanding bath with clean lines will work beautifully. Remember the bigger the bath the more precious water you will use. We love the Villeroy and Boch Theano Freestanding Bath which comes in two sizes.

Your shower area should be kept minimal, try to incorporate those natural elements and remember that Japandi style is also about balance light and dark. Choose a black framed shower panel such as the Crosswater Design 8 Matt Black Walk In Shower Panel. Introduce texture with natural materials such as the Crosswater Arena 1000mm Wall-Hung Vanity Unit in Modern Oak.

The Villeroy and Boch Antheus Wall Hung Rimless WC will sit (excuse the pun) beautifully in your Japandi bathroom with its clean modern lines. This toilet’s rimless bowl technology eliminates the rim from the inside of the toilet bowl, thanks to the newly developed flush type. Not only does the toilet look more great but hygiene is improved as the rimless bowl is 95% more hygienic than a normal toilet bowl.

How to accessorise your Japandi bathroom

This is an easy one – as you need to keep your accessories to a minimum. Think functional, for instance toilet brush holder, soap dish, toilet roll holder – and keep other clutter tucked away. Use natural wicker baskets if you need extra storage space – they are ideal to hide away extra toilet rolls and hand towels!

Bath mats and bathroom towels should be neutral in colour.  But don’t forget the odd plant or two will enhance the space.

If you want to be ahead of trend then get curve appeal in your new bathroom. Curvaceous bathrooms are predicted to be the trend for 2022.

Curves are in

These days our bathrooms need to be not just functional but also a sanctuary of relaxation. A place where we can shut out the world for a little while and rest. And that’s why we agree with Pinterest’s new ‘Predicts’ that curves and soft lines are going to be big in 2022.

New bathroom collections do away with square, harsh edges and introduce a softer, gentler style that really does give your space that chilled out vibe.

Adopt a rounded approach

It’s not just bathroom furniture that’s going curvy. It’s everything from toilet to basin, bath to showerhead, taps to mirrors. This ‘rounded’ approach will make your bathroom feel that little bit more indulgent. A place where you can recharge your batteries, whatever time of day.

VitrA’s new Liquid by Tom Dixon

One of the most exciting collections with curve appeal is the recently launched VitrA Liquid.  Liquid is a unique collaboration between designer Tom Dixon and the leading bathroom brand and is all about expressive minimalism. It’s soft and rounded forms are generous in proportion and eradicate all sharp edges from the bathroom.

All elements of the bathroom

As well as looking good, the collection is tactile and functional and encompasses all elements of the bathroom, from ceramics to brassware, tiles to accessories.

Ceramics have been extended beyond the traditional realms of basins and sanitaryware, including a rotund stool which can be used in the shower or anywhere else in the home. 

Tom Dixon’s theme continues into the expressive showerheads and controls.  The whole collection incorporates fatter, softer lines that are more generous, long-lasting and stronger.

Not just for the home

Taps and showers are available in chrome or gloss black finish for a contrast.  The products can be combined flexibly to create a unique style and purpose and are designed for use either in the home or professional environments, including offices, hotels and restaurants.

At a time when there is more emphasis being placed on the bathroom, this unique collection is both innovative and contemporary and will certainly add curve appeal to your space.

Success Story

Recently we had one excited customer who was delighted to receive their new bathroom design. They had given a very rough brief on what they wanted: “I want a modern-contemporary look. I like quality and I want my bathroom to last. After all, my family will be using the room several times a day. The bathroom would have to be easy to clean and robust to survive constant use.”

With this brief, our design consultant created these beautiful modern-contemporary renders.

Our customer was delighted with the results. As all aspects of the design met his brief. From the family safe life shield glass on the shower enclosure. To the modern chrome finish throughout the design.  All of the fabulous products are sold on our site.

A breakdown of the products:

Storage & Basin

A problem some families find within a bathroom is that there just isn’t enough space for all their belongings. Our design team engages this by introducing Crosswater’s Glide II range. Which increases storage capabilities in such an elegant way. The Storm Grey Crosswater Glide II Vanity Unit is a great place to start. As it is a prime example of how practicality and charm can be so easily intertwined. On top sits the tall mineral marble cast basin which is a fresh, immaculate surface for pure satisfaction when it comes to cleaning. The handleless drawers are also another key practical feature to this design and their soft-closing motion adds to the luxury of this unit.

As for taps, our design team suggested the Grohe Allure Basin Mixer Tap. This mixer tap has a sleek u-shaped spout, and a chrome-colored finish to match with all the other details across the bathroom.

Paired with the vanity unit, is the Crosswater Glide II Tower This tower’s surfaces are made for constant bathroom use and will last for years, and comes with a 15-year warranty. The design is polished and has the same drawer features as the vanity unit. They truly are a great example of functionality through simplicity.

Both units have chrome features as a homage to the modern-contemporary movement. The vanity unit has a chrome overflow ring, whereas the tower has chrome hinges.

Shower Space

The Kudos Ultimate Walk-in Showerpack is made with the family in mind. The pack includes their best quality trays, as well as Lifeshield glass. This glass is an extra thick 10mm so it is strong, as well as being able to repel grime, soap, and water. Perfect for easing those busy mornings. For peace of mind, there is also a lifetime guarantee. The shower space itself is a perfect size for couples showering or helping the kids.

Paired with the walk-in shower pack is the hansgrohe square shower kit. It has a two-head option for pure practicality as well as keen, angular lines as a nod to the contemporary movement. Excitingly the shower is fitted with a RainAir spray pattern, which produces a refreshing air-enriched spray. Pure luxury.

The Bath

The Villeroy and Boch Squaro Edge is an opulent inclusion within this bathroom. It provides a real statement piece. It is a high-quality, durable, and truly beautiful bath. The shape of this bath continues to hit the brief, the rectangular narrow-edged walls create a stylish profile that is just astounding. Paired with the bath, is the Grohe Allure Bath Mixer Tap. This mixer tap matches the basin mixer tap with its sleek u-shaped spout and chrome finishes.  The positives don’t just stop at its looks, the bath is also remarkably comfortable. Sublime for when you need some me-time.

Toilet

From Crosswater’s Glide II range again, comes the toilet. It is an ideal wall-hung toilet with a rimless bowl. The wall-hung feature allows for easy cleaning underneath and around the toilet as there are no pipes below the toilet. As the toilet is rimless, it means that there will be no hidden bacteria beneath the rim. All of this will increase simplicity in your cleaning routine.

Accessories

This Crosswater Kai Towel Warmer in an Anthracite finish screams coolness. Ironic as this towel warmer will do very much the opposite. It is well made and designed to be used within a modern-contemporary bathroom. It has a darker finish than the rest of the chrome features in this bathroom, however, it does provide a beautiful focal point for the bathroom. The design of group rails means that even the most luxurious towels will be hung and warmed easily.

Finally, the Keuco Recessed Mirror has a double door and is another good answer to storage problems. It is an admirable unit of modern-contemporary geometric design. It is even installed with a fully functional dimmable LED light that is eco-friendly as it runs at low power. It provides a divine flow of light across your bathroom, especially when you need to use the toilet at night and don’t want to disturb anyone.

Bathrooms of any size can be transformed into your dream shower room. Choosing to remove your bath, or even choosing to making better use of the space you have is a big step. If planned well, you will be able to create the perfect space for the whole family to enjoy. Here are some ideas to help you renovate your new shower room!

Recreate that away-from-home feeling

Get that hotel-spa feel in your own home with a spa-style shower room! The all-over stone effect tiles and neutral tones give that true away-from-home feeling. The dore oak wood panelled vanity unit is great for storage and gives an organic feel to the room. Using lighter colour tiles in shower enclosures create the illusion of a bigger room which is great if you’re looking to open up the space. Combining angular fixtures and accessories with the smooth round mirror can make all the difference to the feel of the room. A simple switch from your old rectangular mirror will instantly modernise your shower room. They’re also super on-trend too!

Make a statement

Tied in with the spa-style, Moroccan style inspired shower rooms are another variation to consider. Swap neutral earthy tones for more statement tiles and patterns. The rich colours create an environment that feels distinguished and luxurious. Plan the colour scheme by combining blues, oranges and gold for this look. Tiny tiles work well when framing the area around wall-hung storage cabinets or even a mirror. The Belgravia brushed brass fixtures paired with the classic Moroccan style ceramic styles create that holiday feeling that we all crave.

Pretty in Pink (and Grey)

Greys and blush pinks have been a popular choice in other rooms of the house, but what about the bathroom? Accent colours have always been a bathroom theme favourite for all room sizes, with pastel colours becoming more and more popular. Using pops of colour make the space completely customisable and can be changed to suit future trends too. The pink chevron ceramic tiles placed against the chrome fixtures on the shower screens keep in with the room’s theme. Adding your accessories and elements in advance can really help with planning the space. Using matching towels, ornaments and even shampoo bottles make the space completely unique to you!

Incorporate a bold feature wall

Pink not your thing? This fresh alternative incorporates light airy white spaces with deep green marble effect walls. Why not channel your inner Interior Designer and pick a statement feature colour for your room? Having a bold statement wall draws your focus as you walk in, and this green marble look is truly unique. The wooden elements on the freestanding vanity unit complete the look too. Having such a deep colour is a bold choice, but if the space has plenty of natural lighting it could really pay off. This shower enclosure, in particular, is specifically designed for the shower door to attach straight to the wall. Which is valuable if you’re working with a smaller area.

Best of both worlds

Terrazzo flooring is great for mix and match colour schemes you may want to have in your new shower room. Here it matches perfectly with the soft pink and green tones in this picture. Combining dark grouted subway tiles with statement geometric ones in the walk-in shower creates a playful space. Doing this for attic rooms or narrow rooms can really help separate the sections of the room to give the illusion of more space.

Bring NYC to your home

Inspired by Manhattan loft style, the Impey Soho wetroom panels are definitely a statement shower piece. Paired with matt black brassware it is the ultimate monochrome look and surely an on-trend investment. You can add an extra ounce of personality by introducing rich colours, or even some deep green planhttps://www.ukbathrooms.com/shower-enclosures/walk-in-showers/https://www.ukbathrooms.com/wet-rooms/ts for a fresh botanical vibe. This look could work in small spaces and you will still have space to dry off! It comes in many sizes and panelling combinations, enabling you to have a cloakroom shower or en suite, all the way up to a full walk-in shower or wetroom.

Due to be popular for 2021 is the leaning ladder radiator. Its appearance may seem imposing for very small rooms but could work well as a heating solution in those more awkward spaces.

Complete the look

Another big decision you may have to make will be about which flooring to choose. Tiles may be the obvious option and there’s plenty to choose from! But if you’re looking for a natural feeling space then it’s worth looking into laminate flooring too. The Palio Clic Wood Vinyl flooring give the feel of laminate but is completely waterproof. Made especially for the bathroom. It’s available in all different effects to match your room perfectly.

Country style meets the contemporary

If you’re unsure about whether you want a more traditional or modern style, why not incorporate both? This bathroom combines the stylish modern black bathroom aesthetic with traditional elements such as the Victorian style shower valves and taps. The style is very decadent and looks very luxurious. It would also so look great with an industrial style too, by adding wood instead of the contrasting marble tiles shown. The floor-to-ceiling tiles make messes easy to clean making them completely child friendly! This range by Burlington also includes a black country-style sink and even a toilet for a matching set.

Brand new for 2021

Make use of all the quirky alcoves in your home with a recessed shower. This frameless walk-in enclosure has just released and is in a very sought after style. The black tiles paired with brushed brass fittings is sleek and sophisticated. This design uses clever space utilisation by having glass shelves built into the walls to store all your favourite products. The Gallery 10 shower enclosure collection is a brand new release so is the perfect investment to stay on-trend.
