When tackling a bathroom renovation with your builder, knowing which style resonates with you can be a big help. This guide to the most popular bathroom styles will help you plan your reno, from choosing tiles, taps and everything in between.

Modern

Modern bathrooms are sleek and streamlined, emphasising strong horizontal lines. Key features include a floating vanity, glass shower enclosure, a freestanding tub, minimalist taps, streamlined lighting and frameless mirrors. The focus of a modern-style bathroom is on the architecture, which means the colour palette tends toward crisp, clean white, subtle neutrals and black.

Traditional

Traditional bathrooms are timeless and refined, with gleaming surfaces and high-end materials. Key features of traditional-style bathrooms include a furniture-style vanity, stone wall treatments, antique-style lighting, a classic tub, wallpaper and decorative moulding. The colours in traditional bathrooms tend to be soft and relaxing, with subtle neutrals and wood tones.

Farmhouse

Farmhouse-style bathrooms balance rustic appeal with simple, modern sensibilities.

Key features of farmhouse-style bathrooms include a shaker-style vanity, barn lighting, wall panelling, sliding barn doors and a trough sink. Farmhouse bathrooms favour simple, natural colour palettes, especially white with crisp black trim.

Beach

Beach-style bathrooms are light and airy, with a focus on natural materials, coastal-inspired colours and a casual, easygoing mood. Key features of beach-style bathrooms include bold tiles, a spacious shower and weathered wood. The colour palette is inspired by the sand, sky and sea.
