We tend to focus on items that will have the greatest visual impact: colour scheme, flooring, tapware, kitchen cabinetry, etc. However, there are often a few minor considerations that aren’t given enough thought, and result in homes that never feel quite right. Skirting board Summer is a very pretty time of the year filled with eye catching colours, and we have seen these colours attract the senses in new renovations and remodels. The idea of experimenting with colour may scare a few of you off especially if the first pallet that came to mind was the 1970s pastel pinks and greens, we don’t blame you there! We aren’t letting you down here though, there are light and bold colour schemes that come with longevity and style. Allowing these colours to stand out is key, with vibrant colours it comes easy for them, but it is very important they don’t become over bearing. Seen with this beautiful mosaic aqua blue wall tile is paired with charcoal floor tile, even by this photo below you can see the splash of blue is not over powering, but it is the perfect stand out for this summer. Light switches Still seen as mostly functional and so often comes last on the priority in a renovation. While there is nothing wrong with standard white builder switches, more elaborate designs are welcome. With manufactures and designer pushing the boundaries creating sleek and stylish products. Antique-looking brass switches, as an example, are a wonderful addition to period homes. Glass switches are increasingly popular, especially in contemporary homes. They come in different colours and finishes to match your interior. Grout colour Thoughtful consideration is often given to the choice of tiles, but there isn’t much thought given to the colour of the grout. This is commonly a decision left to the builder or tiler. Often, the grout should be selected to match the colour of the tiles, so it doesn’t stand out and visually break the continuity of tiling. On other occasions, grout can be used to bring contrast and patterns to a tiled area. A dark grout against white subway tiles is a strong trend as a feature wall of the bathroom. Not only does it bring interest, but it is easier to maintain than white grout which can discolour over time. On a multicoloured tiled area, too, grout can either match one of the colours or it can be a contrasting shade to better enhance the pattern created by the tiles. Practicality of vanity top material Dark colours were becoming taboo in a bathroom, possibly because family bathrooms began downsizing and more ensuites were being introduced. Now the trend is moving to larger bathrooms that can benefit from darker shades. Darker tones are beginning to be sourced through floor tiling, elegant cabinets, matte black fixtures and fittings and painted accent walls and we are loving that this style might just be here to feature as a new year trend. I recall my parents having a black on black on black bathroom, as clearly as I remember that bathroom from my childhood, I don’t think that will make a comeback! We aren’t saying for you to order a stack of black tiles and a matte black bathtub, there are more creative ways to embrace the darker tones and that is not limited to blacks and greys; dark blue is probably the hottest colour this summer in our bathrooms and home interior designs. We believe that there are so many options for your home and bathroom, and one idea we still can’t get enough of are the Zellige square tiles featured below, in the dark tones this can really be the hero piece of your bathroom. Storage in entries or hallways Entries are getting bigger and are more and more designed to make a strong visual statement. While it is important to feel good about your home as soon as you walk in, it is also crucial to think of your entrance as a functional space. When you enter your home, you might want to drop your handbag or coat, take your shoes off, leave your keys and sunglasses. Good entries are ones that address your needs in terms of both practicality and look. Not all entries are rooms on their own. Often, they are limited spaces that are open to other areas. Maximise storage with narrow cabinets that can accommodate shoes, keys and other knick-knacks. Chose materials that are in line with the finishes of the adjacent rooms, and dress your space with relevant decorative items such as vases, artwork, a table lamp, mirror, etc. A long narrow entry doesn’t leave much space for anything. However, when building, you might want to consider fitting in concealed floor-to-ceiling cupboards along it, as opposed to a standard wall. This trick will provide essential storage without any visual overload.

It would be ‘brown’ of you not too. If it wasn’t made clear, design and styling is now entering a stage of brown, they say it is “as a collection of multiple warm shades that range from new neutrals to the deepest of midnight browns”.  This is due to become the dominant tonal influence in fashion, home decor, fabrics, homewares and architecture. The natural, grounded brown tones are fast becoming a reliable colour correction after a decade-long hit of greys and concrete. Brown softens the contrast between shapes and colours and the world around us, its warmer tone is everything which our society craves. Vibrant Greens From all perspectives of interior design vibrant greens will be favoured in the 2020/21 cycle. Found in office furniture, on tabletops, khaki textiles and softer olive fabrics – vibrant greens were forecasted a year or so ago to be the next colour we use as a big part of design in all areas. From pastel greens to a darker, vibrant palette we see the influence of a new organic aesthetic drawn in by earthy colours to signal the start of “21st century morality” in our designs as there is a powerful and respect being shown to our planet. Our Planet We see this time as an opportunity for designers and architects to act towards nature and critically preserve and reverence in their designs. Through products that are re-purposed purely on how the individual views the world around them. Although many of them are being globally tried and tested, they are all truly revolutionary. The unique patterns created by the lace grown by roots are being used as a design piece. Pushing the realms of design and engineering as seaweed is being used as architectural sheaths and newspaper pulp turned into cocooning seating and designer lamps. Brown isn’t all we can see Of course, no trend becomes absolute and while the brown/green line will be in the foreground of design, there are more hues and subtle colour progressions in the mix. For the coming seasons, we’re tracking a wave of new colour including a full range of murky pastels. Colour is just one of the aspects the top trend forecasters consider. Other emerging trend streams include stronger use of certain materials, ceramic shapes and fabric finishes. There will be tactility in almost everything we find in our homes and that starts now with chunkier ceramics, unruly glass and concrete, textured fabrics and plastics (recycled or recyclable). How it will shape in our home We talk about these movements in design just to help on the decision what colour to paint a room but more so to find the perfect balance of how we occupy our homes. As the future of house layouts take shape, we see the kitchen and bathroom growing in their continued evolution. Kitchens are even more the epicentre of households, with the world realising the culture of food brings us closer than rarely anything else. Therefore, our kitchens will become larger with more sophisticated finishes, chef-quality appliances and highly aesthetic accessories. Adelaide bathrooms will become ever more spa-like. With selfcare and personal growth becoming a part of morning regimes, the bathroom is where you should feel your most calm before taking on the day or turning in for the night.   Contact us for a quote or check out our rates and payment plans now.  [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

Through splashes of colour or letting styles take shape, you will see how little updates can breathe new life into your bathroom. When your happy with the current functionality and overall design of your Adelaide bathroom but want to keep the space fresh and in trend the next few style changes could be perfect.  Add some colour A simple update of taps, accessories or showers can improve the longevity of your bathroom. With matte black to rose gold, and brushed nickel to gold now is the perfect time to create a large affect with minimal effort. Australian and world-renowned brands are adding these colour ways to many different styles they are producing, giving you the perfect chance to realise your unique taste and express your personality with these simple statement pieces. Jose Soriano photographed these brushed nickle style taps featured on the bathtub. A simple update of taps can come with that breathtaking finish.  Use shapes to change perspective The simple updates don’t just end with new colours, its time we start playing with new shapes. Tap ware, basins and shower fixtures have been freshly updated through sleek design and versatility. Keeping your bathroom fresh this winter can be a simple fix when you focus on colour and shapes of your fittings, they can become your bathrooms statement pieces. Maria Petroff photographed our new renovation in Gilberton to show of the stunning shapes that are  rare and unique in modern remodels. Provide a higher level of hygiene In the winter season, family hygiene is very important and the best place to start practicing this is the bathroom. It can be a challenge to keep the bathroom clean but with new rimless technology, the new standard in toilets, it can be a little easier. As the name suggests, rimless toilets flush without the need for a rim within the pan. Eliminating the build up of gems and bacteria in the hard to reach areas. Enjoy a much safer experience this winter with a cleaner more hygienic toilet suite this winter. Thin-edge design Something a little different is the hot trend of thin-edged design and it has been making waves across Australia’s bathrooms. Providing an overall minimalist aesthetic and cleaner lines, people are baths and basins of this new style to their designs. One way to refresh your Adelaide bathroom could be to update one or two of the larger, chunkier features – create the illusion of space with the weightless aesthetic of thin-edged design without compromising on quality. Much like our completed renovation in Fullarton with a statement feature thin edged bath tub.

The summer periods can often turn trends upside down as it leads us into a new year; much like the Australian summer our predicted trends are ready to have a bit of fun while focusing on bettering you. Although some trends below may seem contradictive, we believe there are no rules to a trend, often trends are exactly what they mean (possibly just a fad) and may not be around forever and that is something you should keep in mind. Finding a timeless balance between trendsetting design with longevity style and functionality. Add colour Summer is a very pretty time of the year filled with eye catching colours, and we have seen these colours attract the senses in new renovations and remodels.

Seen with this beautiful mosaic aqua blue wall tile is paired with charcoal floor tile, even by this photo below you can see the splash of blue is not over powering, but it is the perfect stand out for this summer. Step into the jungle Much like the scenic Japanese Zen rain forest we are inspired by the greenery of our summer months; creating a fresh new look with natural styling. We said at the beginning of the year that our bathrooms will feature more natural raw materials such as timber, the greenery is no exception. We personally have seen some of our clients start with small house plants on a shelf or vanity space, even such a small feature can bring life to your bathroom. While braver choices feature large tropical plants in a master bathroom, we were lucky to have noticed a beautiful set of flowing plants all around the bath. It may not be everyone’s first choice but wow its mesmerizing.  Thank you to Lisa Moyneur for this awsome photo.   Find your zen Our perspective on the use of bathrooms have been among the biggest changes in bathroom trends. Adelaide bathrooms have altered from a clinical space used to check off morning and night time routines into luxury spaces used to indulge the senses and separate ourselves from the outside world. Whether you feel this way in a breathtaking bathtub soaked in warm water or standing under a steamy rainfall shower leaving you to feel like your best self. For these reasons we see a new style of relaxation finding its way into your designs. Finding your Zen takes us to Japanese inspired culture where calming, meditative environments are so profound. A renovated bathroom is the perfect place for a Zen-inspired journey as you enjoy your long, warm bath. A Zen bathroom doesn’t just stop inside, having access to nature is a major feature of the Zen aesthetic as it lets the outside environment in through large windows. Darker tones are earning respect Dark colours were becoming taboo in a bathroom, possibly because family bathrooms began downsizing and more ensuites were being introduced. Now the trend is moving to larger bathrooms that can benefit from darker shades. Darker tones are beginning to be sourced through floor tiling, elegant cabinets, matte black fixtures and fittings and painted accent walls and we are loving that this style might just be here to feature as a new year trend.

Bathroom renovation is never a reasonably priced undertaking. For that reason, it is a great idea to calculate your Bathroom Renovation Cost in Adelaide before you start throwing out the existing one for determining whether you can afford it or if it’s a better idea to wait a few months to amass enough money. It is impossible to compute bathroom renovation cost to every cent as with most home improvement projects, there is always a chance of unlikable surprises which are impossible to forecast before the renovation project. Nevertheless, you can determine your Bathroom Renovation Cost in Adelaide very accurately if you pay attention to the following tips and add another 10 to 15 per cent to the sum for unforeseen expenses: – • Novel bathroom fixtures – This is the easiest part of determining the cost of your renovation project. All you have to do is to determine what you have and how much it’ll cost you. The overall price of the novel bathroom fixtures depends to a great extent on the size of your bathroom, fixtures you want to replace & your personal preferences when it is about to style, design & materials. • The scale of your renovation project – Obviously, the more complicated & extensive the renovation the higher the price. Relocation of the fixtures, adding in novel ones, etc. dramatically increases Bathroom Renovation Cost in Adelaide. So if you would like to hang about within a set budget, you are highly recommended to ponder through your wishes very well. • Removal of the old bathroom – Removing old ceramic tiles, toilet, bathtub, etc. is hard labour but it will cost you a great deal if you hire someone to do it for you. You can’t ruin anything really if you remove the old bathroom yourself which is why it’s worth to consider making it a ‘DIY project’, of course, if you have the time. • Installation of the new bathroom – In theory, you can install your new bathroom yourself but it is a great idea to leave over the installation part to the professionals if you’re not absolutely confident in your ‘DIY skills’. This will, of course, increase the Bathroom Renovation Cost in Adelaide but then again, ruining your novel bathroom would even be more costly. • Special issues – Before installing a brand new bathroom, it is a good idea to deal with any special issues such as a leak, mold, electrical problems, so on and so forth. They will probably require professional help which will increase the Bathroom Renovation Cost in Adelaide, however, installing a new-fangled bathroom without dealing with mold, for example, will not solve anything. Even more, it will quickly ruin the appearance of your novel bathroom, not to mention that it may even put your health at risk.
