interior design

Without a doubt, art in the bathroom has been seen as a 'mistake' in the past. However, times are changing and, these days, with a little thought and careful planning, bathroom wall art has become a valid trend. So, it's time to put any pre-conceived ideas of the 'horrors of humidity' aside. The truth is you can still add artwork to a bathroom with plenty of ventilation. Instead, I'm asking you to embrace your inner creativity. After all, I believe the bathroom should be your sanctuary. So, why not pick a few pieces of art to stimulate your senses, whether you're lounging in the bath or cleaning teeth at your basin? As a result, you can transform your bathroom into a personal gallery, which you can enjoy for years to come. In this blog, I speak to interior design team AB Design and Interiors and home stylist Post Prentis Design:

First considerations...

There's no doubt in my mind that biophilic design is going to be one of the biggest bathroom trends in 2021 and beyond. However, it’s not a new concept. The term biophilia (from the Greek biofilia) first came to prominence in the 1970s. It generated even greater awareness in the 1980s, thanks to renowned biologist Edward Wilson’s work, Biophilia. In simple terms, biophilic design aims to incorporate nature within interiors. It also strives to increase our connectivity with the natural environment. I like to think of it as design which makes you feel good. And in these turbulent times, that’s definitely something we should all be exploring!
