Clean, function and inspired by nature is this year's bathroom theme.

We are seeing a continuation and evolvement of last years trends with texture and layers becoming a strong interior focus, away from the strong minimalist trends of the past. One theme we are noticing is the move to the more natural fibres such as bamboo and thatch, which reflects the New Zealand theme of bringing the outside into the home.

The neutral colour palette continues to be a central focus on New Zealand homes specifically, with extra layers being added via feature panels or accessories. Along with design trends, it's about putting these ideas into using quality materials and information to ensure a fill solution not only for the bathroom but for the home.

Key idea to remember when building or renovating your bathroom is looking at the big picture to take into account the needs of the users.
