Nevertheless, let me tell you that creating a designer bathroom doesn’t have to cost a fortune. homeimprovementpages.com.au may state that a bathroom designer can charge anywhere from $250 for a consultation to $2,300 for a high-end interior design. However, you can save yourself a whole heap of money by studying trending styles and creating the look you want yourself. Hopefully, this post will act as a powerful foundation for your design creativity!

1. Back to Black

Why settle for a standard white bathroom when you can create a striking, sophisticated space with a black design? Black bathrooms are making a bold statement globally, as highlighted by expert designers and architects. This trend exudes elegance and modernity, offering a timeless look that transforms any bathroom into a chic retreat.

To achieve a captivating black bathroom, consider incorporating black fixtures and fittings, along with black tiles for your floors and walls. This design approach adds depth and contrast, giving your bathroom a sleek, contemporary edge. At Ross’s Discount Home Centre, many of our design-savvy customers have embraced this trend, making it one of our most popular bathroom styles.

Explore our extensive black tapware collection, along with our sleek Black Cube Curved Wall Faced Toilet Suite and the stylish Morocco Back to the Wall Black & White Bath. These fixtures feature a luxurious satin black finish, adding sophistication and elegance to your bathroom space.

2. Celebrate Stone

Embrace the natural beauty and timeless elegance of stone to create a modern, non-white bathroom design. Stone-inspired bathrooms are gaining popularity among designers worldwide for their ability to bring warmth, texture, and an organic touch to the space. Using stone as the foundation of your bathroom’s design not only avoids the typical white palette but also adds a sense of serenity and sophistication.

To achieve this aesthetic, consider fixtures and fittings that incorporate natural stone elements or stone-look finishes. This choice brings a sense of comfort, tranquility, and visual appeal, transforming your bathroom into a relaxing retreat reminiscent of a high-end spa.

At Ross’s Discount Home Centre, we offer a wide selection of stone-look tiles that perfectly complement this trend, including our highly sought-after Matang ceramic tiles and Magic Stone porcelain tiles. These tiles are designed to mimic the natural textures and variations of stone, adding depth and character to your bathroom. Pair them with stone-inspired vanities or minimalist tapware to complete the look.

3. Go Natural

For a warm, inviting non-white bathroom that departs from traditional white, consider embracing a natural look with wood textures, greenery, and earthy elements. This organic design approach is perfect for bringing a sense of calm and balance into your space, echoing the soothing aesthetics of nature. Interior designers predict that natural elements in bathrooms will continue to trend, as they offer a timeless style that promotes relaxation and harmony.

To achieve this look, incorporate timber finishes and accents, offset with chrome or matte black tapware to add a modern touch. Adding plants or greenery enhances the natural vibe, creating a fresh, spa-like atmosphere.

At Ross’s Discount Home Centre, we have everything you need to bring this natural aesthetic to life. Our Mia Vanity with a timber-look veneer is an excellent choice for this style, while our Cube Basin Mixer, Cube Shower Head and Cube Shower Mixer provide contemporary chrome accents. Complete the look with our Wood-Look Tiles, which offer the beauty of wood without the maintenance concerns. These high-quality bathroom tiles add texture and depth to your space, helping to create a truly organic, nature-inspired bathroom.

4. Mix n’ Match

Creating a stylish non-white bathroom that avoids traditional white tones can be as simple as experimenting with a mix-and-match approach. This design concept allows you to add character, texture, and contrast to your bathroom by pairing different bathroom tiles, materials, and finishes. By thoughtfully combining patterns and tones, you can craft a unique, eye-catching look that feels both modern and personal.

There are several ways to achieve a mix-and-match design. For example, use feature tiles on the floor to anchor the room with a bold pattern, complemented by more subtle, plain wall tiles. Consider our Richmond Tiles for a distinctive flooring option, paired with classic Matt White Wall Tiles to maintain balance. The look can be elevated with a statement piece like the Joyce PVC Vanity, which adds functional elegance.

Alternatively, you could flip this concept by choosing a colourful or patterned wall tile and pairing it with a neutral floor. For instance, our Kaleido Wall Tiles bring in a playful touch of colour and pattern, while the KMG Dark Grey Matte Floor Tile provides a sophisticated, grounding effect. Complete this look with our Marine PVC Vanity for a cohesive and refined finish.

Mixing and matching tiles and finishes in this way not only gives your bathroom a unique aesthetic but also allows you to showcase your style. At Ross’s Discount Home Centre, you’ll find a variety of tiles, vanities, and fixtures to bring your mix-and-match vision to life.
