New Age Bathroom Designs Sydney

It will delight many people to know that bathrooms do not have to follow traditional designs any more. Using innovative ideas such as glass and timber will give a fresh look and feel to any bathroom design.

There are many beautiful and innovative bathroom design ideas around today, from the heavy stone look sink and teak accessories of the Zen-look bathroom to the clear and clean look of total glass everything. Glass bathrooms are the latest in thing that nearly everyone is after. At least you don´t have to worry about coordinating the colours if you have clear glass basins and shelving.

And if you think that glass is breakable – in the bathroom it is not. At least, not unless you do something silly like drop a hammer onto it. Glass basins and shelving are really thick and strong and made to be used without fear of breakage. The products are extremely well-made, so much so that overseas hotels are demanding them. You can even find decorated glass with rustic edges and leaves and flowers within them. So there are glass products to fit every kind of style or look that you could want, not just the contemporary style.

And talking of glass, glass tiles are now also very popular. You can get them in a range of lovely textures, styles and colours and better still, you can get the ones that change colour with the temperature of the bathroom, so you will never get bored with one colour. Many glass tiles are made from recycled glass and so are a green choice. You can even put glass tiles on the floor, but experts recommend using those with a sandblasted surface so they will not be slippery.

Contrary to popular belief, flooring in the bathroom can also be made of timber. This often makes a great deal better look and feel to the rest of the home if it has timber flooring too. Naturally, the finish must be done carefully to prevent moisture getting in through any cracks or pinholes. Usually a couple more layers of polyurethane is sufficient, so long as the timber underneath is without cracks or dents.
