2020 was the year of reevaluating design. Due to the recent pandemic, homeowners wanted to prioritise cleanliness without compromising style. High-traffic areas of the home - like the humble bathroom - needed a revamp.
In 2021, homeowners and interior designers are adding warmth to the traditional bathrooms, whilst retaining easy to clean surfaces and minimalist aesthetics. From black baths to pebble-shaped mirrors, the latest bathroom trends for 2021 are as elegant as they are functional.

Black freestanding baths
White baths have always been a staple, but 2021 is all about bold black.
A black bath adds drama to your bathroom. It also gives a certain coziness that white baths lack.
Unlike white baths, a black tub lends itself to more lush colours - so feel free to be as creative as you like! Add warm tones to compliment your black bath, like royal blue and rich charcoal.
Not brave enough to go all the way? Choose a bath with the best of both worlds - a black outer shell and crisp white interior.

Twin basins in one vanity
Sick of waiting for your partner to finish brushing their teeth so you can use the mirror? You’re not alone. And it’s why having two basins in one vanity is so popular in 2021.
Having a basin to yourself while your partner styles their hair is the height of luxury. It’s a dedicated ‘me zone’ in your bathroom.
Not only can you and your partner use the bathroom together without killing each other, but the bigger vanity allows for more storage space. Choose to have cupboards or drawers in your vanity. Whatever you decide, make it work for you.
Turn your basins into a statement piece by installing sinks that are as stunning as they are functional. Why not choose basins made from stylish polished concrete? Our polished concrete basins are locally designed and produced right here in South Australia. They also come in various shapes and sizes and can be customised to your requirements. And like a comfy leather chair, polished concrete only gains more character the longer you have it. Your concrete basin will always look amazing at any age.

New mirror shapes
Square and rectangular mirrors are so 2020. This year is all about the irregular shape.
Organic, fluid shaped mirrors are starting to rise in popularity. Shapes such as hexagon, arched and even ‘pebble’ add a touch of whimsy to modern bathrooms that rectangular mirrors can’t.
If those shapes aren’t unusual enough for you, consider a handcrafted shape instead. These mirrors are designed to fit your bathroom’s shape and style, so every mirror is unique.
That’s not to say that circle and oval mirrors are dead. They’re more in vogue than ever. And if they’re jammed packed with storage, even better!
