Whether you indulge in a soothing bubble bath daily or pop in for a quick shower before or after work, your bathroom is a personal space that should be practical, clean, and reflect your unique style. Beyond the daily general maintenance of keeping the space clean, fresh and grime free, it’s important to periodically relook the décor to make sure it’s not only as functional as possible but also on-trend.
But where to begin? Taylor Blinds and Shutters have saved you at least two weeks of Pinterest trawling to unpack the hottest bathroom design trends for 2017. You’ll be thrilled to know that by adding blinds or shutters to your bathroom you’ll not only update one of the most used rooms in your house – but they’ll tick all the upcoming season’s bathroom design, colours and material boxes. Here’s how…
Natural beauty
2017 is going to be marked by the return to the organic and natural. So when it comes to a bathroom design the direction will be: clean colours, seamless lines and a dash of organic coziness and elegance.
A natural material that brings warmth into our homes is undoubtedly wood. Taylor’s Styro-Wood Venetian Blinds are great for bathrooms. They provide the look of wood, but won’t bend, warp or discolour – even in damp, humid bathroom environments.
Defined spaces
Defined spaces are returning to modern homes as people seek more privacy from their home layouts. If you have an open-plan bedroom / bathroom, Taylor’s Thermowood® Shutters make perfect room dividers. They’re not only beautiful to look at, but are manufactured from a durable, specially engineered wood substitute – extruded PVC, making them heat and steam resistant, as well as rust proof – ideal for the bathroom.
Top tip: Replace the cupboard doors below your basin with matching shutters for a unified look that introduces clean lines to the space – a 2017 must-have.
Heavy metal
Another big thing this coming year is mixed metals – brass and gold remain popular, but polished nickel and silver are also making a come-back. Taylor’s aluminium venetian blinds are available in a stunning selection of metallic shades including copper, brass, silver, sulphur, iron and more. They’re made for light control (often a necessity in a small bathroom) and stainless steel pins are used to ease the cord pull, which means they won’t corrode, rust or damage the cords.
Security never goes out of style
Bathrooms can easily fall under the radar when it comes to securing your home, especially if your bathroom has small windows, or is situated on a second floor or higher. Don’t be a statistic – Taylor Blinds’ ShutterGuard® Security Shutters are savvy, stylish and safe – offering security without compromising the aesthetics of your bathroom. With a gear-lock keeping the shutters in place and a bolt securing the shutters to the floor or window sill, there will be no leverage to lift the lock out of the track. These shutters are available in bronze or white – ideal for most bathroom colour-schemes.
When only the best will do
Bathrooms, along with kitchens, are famous for being the ultimate deal-breakers for home buyers considering a new property. If a bathroom does not appeal to a prospective home buyer in just the right way, then the chance of making the sale is drastically reduced so treat this space in your home with the same attitude – settling for only the best!
Taylor Blinds & Shutters, with over 55 years’ experience, is renowned for innovative, elegant, quality products. From stylish aluminium or wood-substitute shutters and Venetian, wood, roller or woven blinds to contemporary security, the perfect solution for your bathroom’s brand new look is at hand.
