Australian bathroom trends: November 2019 edition

While we’re hurtling towards the end of the year, the bathroom scene continues to turn out plenty of interesting innovations. From 2020 tile trend predictions to a sleek integrated vanity, and plant-dyed hypo-allergenic towels, these are our top bathroom picks for November.

2020 tile trend predictions via Beaumont Tiles: Fresh from a visit to the world’s largest tile and ceramics trade show (Cersaie Trade Fair in Bologna, Italy), the team at Beaumont Tiles have identified key tile trends for 2020 – green, terrazzo, large slabs and natural stone, and Moroccan Zellige.

“The environment and the world around us are at the forefront of many people’s minds, and this in a design sense has translated into the colours and materials predicted to trend as we migrate into the new year,” says Christie Wood, Beaumont Tiles strategic designer.

“Zellige style tiles are the embodiment of this movement, celebrating their organic imperfections as opposed to covering them. They have tone-on-tone colour variation and structured glossy surfaces, all emulating their Moroccan birthplace and are a must watch for next year,” says Christie.
