Our bathrooms every time we ask for more things. In addition to functionality, we want the bathroom to convey good feelings and have a contemporary and current aesthetic. The problem is that, if we faithfully follow trends we run the risk of going out of style at the same time as them.
And, put to invest in the reform of a bathroom we want that the result fulfills the previous requirements; functionality, good sensations (like being in a spa) and aesthetics, but without going out of style soon.
For that at the time of choose the finishes and materials we must try to find a neutral environment, especially on floors and walls, and risk only on items that can be easily changed and with a tighter budget such as taps, bathroom accessories or mirrors.
In any case, before embracing the latest trends, we can achieve a contemporary and timeless bathroom if we follow the most classic trends.
1. Smooth walls and floors in large format or even in microcement
No matter how fashionable glazed tile with different patterns is (it is even necessary to mix tiles), for a bathroom that does not go out of style it is better to bet on smooth coatings with little cutting, such as large-format tiles or even continuous surfaces such as microcement. In addition, by not having much cutting it will make the bathroom look bigger.

2. Neutral colors
For the same reason as above, if you bet on neutral and soft tones you get than a neutral environment that does not go out of style. So white, beige and gray and they will be the best options to get a timeless bathroom.

3. The industrial style (with subway tile) and in black and white.
Even if the finish of the natural stones or marbles have left a little side of the meter tiles, the industrial-style bathrooms in which the metro tile is not lacking mixed with classic floors such as hexagonal tiles or even mosaic tiles, they are still one of the mixtures with which a bathroom best ages.

4.- Natural stones or marbles
In small doses like on the walls of the showers and in the natural stone sinks, the marble finishes It also has the classic touch that we look for in a long-term reform. You can also bet on other natural elements such as wood to look for a timeless result.

5.- Exempt toilets with other accessories to store
If instead of a large sink you use a shelf with a countertop washbasin or a washbasin embedded in the countertop but with space underneath, the lower part will breathe and will not opt for a specific style.
Here the order is achieved based on pretty baskets and boxes.

6- The best chrome taps
As in the image above, for resistance and durability, chrome taps are the most classic for bathrooms.
7.- Wall mirrors not glued or embedded
In more superficial accessories such as towel racks, hangers, textiles or mirrors … yes we can risk with the trend of the moment. To get it right, you have to try that they are not permanently placed as elements of work embedded or glued to the wall.

For the same reason, if bathroom accessories can be glued or hung, all the better.
