# The bathroom trends for 2016

by [Tamsin Allen](https://www.foamandbubbles.com/bathroom-advice-ideas/author/tamsin-allen), on Feb 13, 2018, 6:10:00 PM

If you are planning a bathroom refurbishment, you know it is a significant investment. Which is why you want it not only to look good but be up-to-date, so that it can last for years. We have rounded up the latest trends for 2016 which we think will also have timeless appeal.  
   
**Wood**  
The natural trend for wood continues either on the walls as rustic panelling or in glamorous cabinets. From medium-toned oak to rich walnut,  the choice in woods is endless.

**Double Head Showers**  
For luxurious showering, easier children showering and easy shower cubicle cleaning, fit a double showerhead. One is fixed for ‘rainfall’ showers and the other is detachable for easier use.

**Metallics**  
The metallics trend is gaining in popularity year after year. Use metallic shades as large wall panels, a copper bath or pretty tiles to add warmth and luxury to your bathroom.

**Water-Saving Taps**  
In our environmentally-friendly world, Hansgrohe is leading the trend for water-saving taps with all of their mixer taps fitted with their Eco Smart technology, which reduces usage by up to 60%.
