One thing's for certain; wow-factor wallpapers and striking bathroom renovations are on everyone's radar.

1. CONCRETE

One of this year's biggest trends has been concrete bathrooms – and we don't see your love for all things concrete slowing down any time soon. In this rustic, concrete Cornwall cottage, concrete is matched withback-to-nature textures such as the wide, wooden sink.The oversized bathtub was originally created for use as an animal trough, but it works brilliantly as a bath. The trough itself cost under £200 – though ittook five men to get it in place. It could have cost four times that amount to have it made.

2. MODERN MURAL

We love a good wall mural. This show-stopping image shows a floor-to-ceiling mural from Tres Tintas. The brave, eye-catching mural dramatically spans the dining room wall from top to toe, and arrived as five huge panels. It's no wonder it's one of this week's most loved pins.

4. CRITTALL-STYLE

Ever-popular (it's also one of this year's top trends),Crittall style translates well in the bathroom, where creating a stylish space that feels both light and open but retains an element of separationis a key objective. Work an industrial aesthetic with classic metro tiles or ramp up the luxe with marble.If you have an unusual-shaped bathroom likethis one, go for a custom-made enclosure. If you’re worried about the bathroom looking too industrial, team a natural material like marble withthe steel frames to give it a spa vibe.

5. TAKEIT TO THE MAX

Colour in the bathroom has spenttoo long being confined to accessories and the odd sanitaryware line. But change is afoot. From fearless hue combinations and in-your-face patterns, designers are challenging the norm and exploring the infinite possibilities of maximalism. To master this trend, confidence is crucial – it must be embraced wholeheartedlyor not at all. Indulge in shades that bring you the most joy and patterns that speak to your personality. Break all the style rules, except one – try not to suffocate the space. You can achieve this by introducing white areas into your scheme that will offer a dash of light relief.

6.IN THE FRAME

Crittall-style windows are enjoyinga moment. In fact, the metal-framed windows – first invented in the 19th century – are so popular, their comeback includes doors and partitions too.Elevate a monochrome scheme with a metal-framed shower panel. Here, it pairs well with the vanity unit. What its basin lacks in depth, it makes up for in width, extending into the shower to create a handy shelf.
