The KBB Show 2022 in Birmingham opened its doors to interior enthusiasts on Sunday 6th of March. It was THE source of inspiration for press, trades and renovators alike. I was so eager and ready to spot the latest kitchen and bathroom trends and innovations. So I put my comfiest shoes on, loaded up on coffee and inside I went…Ā
However, at the KBB Show 2022, bathroom trends were just one part of the picture. As you can imagine, there was SO much to see and explore. From the stunning kitchen stands (also outdoor kitchens!) filled with the latest appliances and cabinetry styles. Then there were chic and calming bedroom trends with clever storage solutions and dreamy bathroom displays. Ā
Think holiday-inspired stands with colourful basins and baths, natural textures and tropical motifs, sleek and modern sanitaryware. There were also future-proof showers, illuminated mirrors and matt brassware to completely transform your space.

Trendy light-up mirrors
Donāt you just love great lighting in bathrooms? Well, so do I ā it just makes getting ready in the morning that much easier and itās an effective way to take your space to the next level. The bathroom brands at the Show went all-out on illuminated mirrors, from matt black oval designs to state-of-the-art shapes.

Green bathrooms
If you love green kitchens, this next trend is perfect for you. Enter: green bathrooms. From dark nature-inspired cabinetry and matt accessories for your vanity, to botanical tiles and mint green basins. To be honest, I couldnāt pick a favourite from Lindsay‘s roundup of all the stunning green bathroom displays, so Iāll let you be the judge of that. See more here.Ā
Matt black finishes
Black was everywhere at the Show ā and when I say everywhere, I mean everywhere. Imagine modernĀ lighting solutions, minimalist shower enclosures, matching black taps and basins, wall-hung toilets and anti-slip shower trays. You can create a seamless look in your bathroom by sticking with this matt black finish and matching all your fittings and fixtures to the tiniest details like handles and flush plates. Ā
