Is your bathroom looking a little tired? Perhaps it’s time for a change. From smart technology to natural materials, there are plenty of bathroom design trends and styles to choose from.
In this blog post, we'll take a look at some of the latest bathroom trends and innovative upgrades that are predicted to be popular in Australia in the coming year.
Smart technology
Smart technology isn’t just for kitchens and smartphones. You can have it in your bathroom too.
With voice-activated tapware and shower heads, heated floors, and self-cleaning toilets, your bathroom is about to become the most convenient and efficient room in your home. And have you heard about smart mirrors? They come with built-in lights, speakers and even virtual assistants, making your morning routine a breeze.
Walk-in showers
If you prefer a more minimalist and modern look, walk-in showers need to be at the top of your renovation wish list. These spacious and open-plan showers are perfect for those who want a clean and simple aesthetic.
They're also great for people with mobility issues, as they don't have a lip or threshold to step over. Some even come with built-in seating and storage so that you can make the most of the space.
Black and gold fixtures
Give your bathroom the Midas touch with a touch of black and gold. Black and gold fixtures are becoming increasingly popular - and for good reason. These fixtures are sleek and modern, and they add a touch of luxury to any bathroom. Choose from black and gold faucets, showerheads, and even toilets to create a cohesive look.
And don’t be afraid to mix these tones with natural textures - such as polished concrete. A grey or black polished concrete basin looks modern and striking against black and gold. At AOK, we specialise in creating high-quality, unique concrete basins for your bathroom. Find out more here.

Sustainable design
Sustainability is becoming more and more important in bathroom design. Make your bathroom more sustainable by incorporating features such as rimless toilets and showerheads, energy-efficient lighting, and even greywater systems. Not only are these options better for the environment, but they can also save you money in the long run.
Freestanding tubs
If you're looking to create a spa-like atmosphere in your bathroom, freestanding tubs are the way to go. These tubs are elegant and sophisticated, and they're perfect for relaxing after a long day.
Choose from a variety of styles and materials, such as acrylic, cast iron, and even copper. And the best part? Not only are they a great way to add drama to the space, but they also make a statement in your bathroom.
Large-format tiles
Go large or go home. Large-format tiles are all the rage in 2023. These tiles are larger than traditional tiles, and they're great for creating a seamless look in your bathroom. They're also easy to clean and maintain as they have fewer grout lines than other smaller tiles.
