1. Create an urban oasis
Showcase geo-patterned tiles on both walls and floors in modern and blush hues for a modern feel. Choose a contemporary angled basin and bath, team with black taps and fittings, and arrange plenty of planters with steam-loving tropical plants.

3. Go bold with blue sanitaryware
Don't be bland - be bold! Give your bathroom a bit of character by adding a splash of bright colour. Coloured baths and basins are coming back, but in bolder shades than 1970s avocado, adding a sense of drama and luxury.
- What's set to turn our heads in 2019 is the emergence of blue sanitaryware as a cool alternative to white,' says CP Hart's Rachel Martin. - Look out for powdery blue baths, basins and WCs teamed with polished chrome or gold taps.'
- Clean white furniture anchors the trend and is particularly striking when finished with marble door fronts or textured stone surfaces.'

4. Relax with rustic and industrial furniture

5. The Crittall comeback continues
Speaking of industrial fittings, the most popular of the lot in 2019 is destined to be the Crittall-style shower screen. The grid design frames the area and has a more modern, urban feel than plain glass.

6. Metallic glamour
Chrome has been the king of the bathroom for some time but, as with kitchens, this is changes.
Though we're not advocating the return of gaudy swan-shaped brassware or wall to wall coper tiles, there is definitely a trend emerging for modern metallic finished, and it's worth tapping into for your new bathroom design.
