Wild Blue Yonder

With both Pantone and Dulux naming blues as 2022’s colour of the year (“Very Peri” and “Bright Skies”, respectively), this calming hue is right on trend.

Go Big and Go Home

Bathrooms are no longer just a utility — in 2022, they’re a key design feature to the whole house, demanding a large portion of the overall square footage (and budget). In laymen’s terms, bathrooms are getting supersized.

Take a Seat

In 2022, cushioned benches, tufted chairs and vanity stools are the bathroom accessories of the year. When thinking about a bathroom vanity reno, try to incorporate a small space where you can take a load off and tend to your self-care.

Everything in Its Place

When contemplating a bathroom renovation, think about the function as well as the form — having ample storage is key. While switching up an existing bathroom’s layout may be more expensive upfront, making room for built-in closets, extra shelves and roomy vanities will be worth it in the long run.
