1. GO CIRCULAR
Who said bathroom sinks had to come with straight lines and sharp edges? ‘Statement countertop basins, like this circular design, are guaranteed to turn heads and are a key part of bathroom designs for 2024,’ says Brenna Ryan, Design Expert at Victorian Plumbing. ‘Whether you’re after a minimal finish or that statement feature, choosing a countertop basin for your bathroom has never been easier.’
2. WILD FOR WASHSTANDS
The humble washstand has had a 21st-century makeover for modern bathrooms. And according to Ryan, this style of sink is tipped to be one of the top trends for sanitaryware in 2024. But why is that?
‘With their Soho House appeal of blending old styling with new designs, a washstand is sure to bring a touch of elegance to your bathroom,’ Ryan says.
3. STYLISH STORAGE
What’s the one thing you can never have too much of? Clever bathroom storage ideas. And a countertop vanity unit can provide you with style, substance and storage space. It's a triple threat. So instead of opting for a stand-alone sink unit, think about making your sink work as hard – if not harder – than you do.
4. CONCRETE SINKS
Tough, practical and super stylish, concrete basins are the gifts that keep on giving. The functional utilitarian-style surface can give your bathroom an industrial feel. But if you’re a fan of bold bathroom colors and detail – look this way. You'll be pleased to know there’s a never-ending list of hues and fluted textures to choose from.
5. MAD FOR MARBLE
A splash of marble can give any bathroom a super luxurious look. But a marble trough-style basin? It might just be our favorite way to embrace the marble bathroom trend.
Fabrizio Costingo, Product Designer at Lusso Stone, says ‘marble is as luxurious as it comes, which is why it’s coveted around the world for its palatial aesthetic.
6. FLUTED SURFACE SINKS
Hailed as one of the top bathroom trends for 2024, fluted finishes are going nowhere fast and we're not complaining. Amy Bartlett, Product Design and Marketing Manager at Kast, says ‘Fluted surface details will continue to be popular in 2024. Adding textured surfaces within a bathroom is an easy way to add depth and visual interest to a space. A fluted surface pattern brings the basins to life with a striking interplay of light and shadow.’
7. EARTHY TONES
As the interior design trends for 2024 confirmed, earthy rich colors are having a bit of a moment – and we're here for it. After all, as Barlett tells us, ‘warm, earthy tones reminiscent of natural stones, terracotta, and burnt umber will help to make bathrooms feel comforting and inviting. Introducing a pop of color from a colored concrete basin is a great way to add impact and lift a more neutral color palette without overpowering the space.’
8. GO FOR GOLD
You don’t just have to invest in a new sink to give your bathroom a new lease of life. Try changing up your taps. Or your storage. Not only is this a quick fix. It's also perhaps a little bit more affordable too. The most luxurious looking way to do this? We'd recommend going for gold and adding some brassware to your bathroom arsenal. Not only will it add a touch of glamour to your sink, it will look pretty too. And who doesn't want a sink that's pretty?
9. FLOATING IN SPACE
A wall-hung basin – which is sometimes called a floating basin – is ideal if space is at a premium and you are working with a small bathroom layout. That's because wall-hung sinks can create the illusion of more room thanks to taking up zero floor space. Maybe you're looking for a new sink for your small downstairs toilet, or you just prefer a sleek and fuss-free finish. Any way you look at it, floating sinks ooze everyday ease but max out on impact. You can't go wrong.
