Staying on trend: The ultimate shower designs of 2024
Whether you’re looking to upgrade your bathroom because it’s in desperate need of a little TLC, or you have an eye to selling your property in 2024, bathrooms punch well above their weight when it comes to the overall impression you, or a prospective buyer, may have of your home.
If a bathroom appears old, tired or dilapidated, it can suddenly make the whole house feel a little unloved. What’s more, bathroom design trends change rapidly, with every year ushering in a host of aesthetic, practical and ethical considerations that can make or break a bathroom.
To help you stay on top of the incoming trends for 2024, we’ve looked into our crystal ball and highlighted below some of the factors you need to consider in your product decisions for one of your bathroom’s most important features: the shower.
1. Sustainability
One aspect of shower design that is only going to take on more importance in 2024 is sustainability. We’ve all heard the statistics about the amount of water that’s wasted in showers, and heard the important messages about limiting our time under the faucet. As such, socially responsible companies such as Abey Australia have responded with products that can help all of us reduce our water consumption.
The most important things to look for here is the Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) rating and the flow rate, which tell you how efficient your shower head is. A good choice to tick the sustainability box would be the Square Face Hand Shower from Gareth Ashton, which features a 3 Star WELS Rating, and a flow rate of 8.5L/min.
2. Wellness
As we all become more aware of the importance of reducing stress, another top shower design trend of 2024 will be an increased emphasis on additional features that help us relax.
One shower head that goes above and beyond when it comes to offering a comprehensive approach to calm is the GESSI Total Wellness Showerhead. This multifunctional system includes a mist setting, as well as a rainfall or waterfall settings and a chromotherapy effect, all aimed at providing you with a fully immersive experience as you wash off the stresses of the day.
At the same time, the GESSI unit comes with all of the poise and elegance you would have come to expect from this high end Italian manufacturer, allowing you to achieve a truly luxurious and peaceful haven within your home.
3. Mixed metal hues
From a purely aesthetic standpoint, one of the big trends we’re expecting to see in shower design in 2024 is the use of mixed coloured metals. Instead of selecting every appointment with the same colour, homeowners are shifting towards pairing different hues when it comes to showers, as well as bathroom taps and other hardware.
Here, the GESSI range is particularly strong, as many of their bathroom products come with a wide range of colour options. For example, this 316 GESSI complete shower rail can come in warm bronze brushed, steel brushed, copper brushed or black metal brushed hues, allowing you to easily mix and match interesting colour combinations with the other features in your bathrooms.
We hope this article offers an insight into some of the leading shower design trends we’re expecting to see in 2024. Of course, with such a wide range of appointments, there are many more ways you can look to bring your bathroom right up to date with the latest trends and styles in Australia.
