If youve been thinking about giving your bathroom an overhaul but arent sure how, one way to start is to look to the latest design trends for inspiration. Weve made it our mission to find out what design ideas are expected to make a splash in 2015 to help make planning your bathroom makeover project a little bit easier. To compile our list, we enlisted the help of four award-winning designers, who share here their predictions for the looks, finishes and features they think will be on everyones radar next year. They also reveal how they would work these ideas into their own projects.

13 kitchen looks expected to be big in 2015

1. Feature floor tiles. Statement-making floor tiles proved popular in 2014, and this striking look doesnt appear to be leaving in a hurry, says interior designer Jasmine McClelland. I have done a couple of feature floor bathrooms this year. They are stunning and provide a great design opportunity when working with challenging bathrooms that have no clear walls for a feature wall, she says.

In smaller bathrooms a feature floor tile adds style without overwhelming the space, and when used in a larger bathroom, the effect is elegant, McClelland says. I love the space when the freestanding bath hits the feature tile beautiful!

2. Natural beauty. Want a bathing area thats welcoming and serene? Then drawing design inspiration from nature is a great way to warm a typically very hard room of the house and infuse the space with a calming vibe. Its one of the key bathroom trends of 2015, according to designers Simona Castagna and Darren Genner of Minosa.

An easy way to incorporate this trend into a bathroom design, Castagna and Genner say, is to introduce earthy materials like natural stone or wood-look tiles. The luxe bath seen here features marble floors and an onyx countertop, as well as a walnut-plank feature wall.

3. Plant life. I know some of us have been scared off indoor plants but its time to reclaim the idea of indoor plants with cascading creepers that can dress any bathroom, McClelland says.

If youre eager to try this trend in your bathroom but want a more sophisticated and design-savvy alternative to potted plants (hanging or not), a vertical garden may be the way to go, McClelland says.

I love them for the interest and feel they bring to a bathroom and cant wait to use them more in my designs for 2015, the designer says.
