Sky Lights
There’s nothing worse than a dark dingy bathroom, and one of the favourite new trends is introducing sky windows above showers and bathtubs. Aside from letting in more light which is always important to a room of any size, sky windows are perfect for bathrooms that might not have external windows. You can get the best of both worlds here, a view of the sky when you’re guests are relaxing in a luxurious bath in your holiday house while also enjoying a sun-filled space. While sky windows are not applicable in every property type, especially apartments, it's worth talking to a builder as to whether a window could be expanded in order to allow more lighting into the room.
Beautiful Lighting
Many people initially don’t think about lighting when it comes to the bathroom, however, it’s actually one of the most important features to get right when designing something stylish and practical. Where possible, designers are beginning to incorporate LED lighting to help set the mood of the room as well as to illuminate particular features like texture on tiles. These lights can also look great when incorporated into a mirror. Similarly, people have also started using things like wall and pendant lights as statements within their bathrooms. When used correctly, lighting has the potential to completely change the look and feel of a room. It can make the room appear larger, more modern, or cozier, depending on the desired effect.
Coloured Tapware
Dated bathrooms often have all white, ceramic tapware with separate hot and cold taps. Whilst there’s nothing wrong with this nice clean look for your holiday accommodation but it can really date the space and it certainly won't make it stand out from other holiday rentals. For quite some time, the latest bathroom designs all featured black tapware, a trend that now looks to be making a colourful change. Coloured tapware is starting to take off with aged bronze or even green, red or pink taps now becoming a favourite amongst designers and renovators alike, which will no doubt draw in guests reviewing holiday property listing on Search and Stay. You can spice up taps and even things like open pipes which is another new trend we’re starting to see more frequently.
Stand-alone Bathtubs
For many years, the humble bathtub was one of the first things renovators would look to get rid of. They were dated and took up valuable space. Now the stand-alone bathtub is making a return and designers are using the tub as the centrepiece for the entire bathroom. When people see a stand-alone tub in a holiday property listed on Search and Stay, they immediately think to themselves ‘5-star luxury’, speaking to the impact a sleek, sculptural centrepiece can have on any bathroom.
Rain Showers
While it’s important to craft a beautiful space, there are few features in a bathroom that more people love at the moment than a rain shower. For what is only a small cost relative to the overall price of a bathroom renovation a rain shower is a great feature to consider. It’s easy to include dual attachments, allowing you the option of using the rain option, or the more traditional directional spray. Rain showers help to create the feeling of luxury when stepping into a holiday home bathroom and can be made to feel more homely by adding some indoor plants. Bathrooms are an important part of any holiday rental home, it’s often one of the most viewed area within the house along with the kitchen. By renovating the bathroom space with one or more of these trends, and taking some hero and appealing photos included in your holiday property listing Search and Stay, you are bound to increase the appeal of your holiday home to holiday guests.
