The top 20 bathroom design trends on Instagram

To discover the top bathroom trends for this year, Harvey Water Softeners analysed over 3.3 million images across five hashtags to find the most popular design features.

Among the top trends were pure white tiles, dual sinks and devil's ivy hanging plants.

"More and more people are embracing colour in the bathroom, so I’m a bit surprised that white tiles are so prominent on Instagram," says Naomi Nunn, interior designer from soak.com.

"It is no surprise however that Devils Ivy is so popular as people are finding various new ways to embrace nature into their daily lives. Freestanding baths are also very coveted, they are really a wishlist or luxury item and with space being at a premium, companies are introducing more compact versions allowing more people to embrace this dream at home."

Other strong trends included black taps, rustic wooden shelves, recessed shelving and woven baskets.

The top 20 bathroom design trends, in order of frequency in top posts, were found to be the following:

1 Pure white tiles

I still have big plans for this bathroom... but here's a peak of it before I change it up a bit... also not sure when that will actually happen with the long to do list of things that never seems to end 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️ #kidsbathroom #paintedtile #cementtile #benjaminmoore #dustyblue #deltafaucet #brass #whiteoak #floatingshelves #modernfarmhouse #interiordesign #quartzcountertops #wallsconce #customhomes #customcabinets @kitchenkreationsutah @bathrooms_of_insta

My Golden Pothos has started growing again after I repotted it! I wondered why it stopped growing and looked a bit sad! It was really pot bound! The Adansonii seems happy and growing lots at the moment also 💚🌿 #goldenpothos #devilsivy #adansonii #monsteraadansonii #TropicalPlants #PlantAddict #TropicalDecor #InteriorDesign #HousePlantCommunity #CrazyPlantLady #Plants #TropicalPlantsUk #PlantsOfInstagram #PlantPower #IndoorJungle #HouseJungle #TropicalHousePlants #PlantLover #UrbanJungle #PlanteriorDesign #Plantstagram #HousePlantClub #PlantLady #WelcomeToTheJungle #TropicalPlantAddict #UrbanJungleBloggers #PlantHoarder #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #bathroomplants

🎉🎈🎂 Today is our first insta-anniversary... I started this account a whole year ago in the midst of our nightmare kitchen renovation as a way to document our work whilst avoiding boring my friends with moans and renovation pics on my own instagram. We have tackled two of the biggest room reno's in the last year and are now trying to get some motivation back to finish the rest of the house. Shout out to my bathroom which is still by far my fave transformation from the last 12 months (swipe for before) 🙌🙌 . . . . . . #reno #renovation #bathroominspo #bathroomremodel #blacktaps #blackshower #monochromebathroom #monochrome #howimonochrome #subwaytile #hexagontiles #beforeandafter #transformation #diyrenovation #diy #mydiyhome #mystylishspace #mydiydecor #interiorforinspo #interiordesign #hardwork #bathroom

#Repost @towerofnight ・・・ That's a wrap! #thelittlerenovationthatcould is officially done woohoo!!! Got the frosted window film on today, and all of my accessories arrived. The stars of the show are the two items the whole design was based on, my @coastalshowerdoors #gridscapeshowerdoors and my #youngmfg #midcenturydresser, I love how the vintage rug from @nashmilrugshop pops against the matte black floor. Beyond thrilled with how it turned out! . . . #rugmadetheroom #dsnicerug #vintagerug #myhousebeautiful #mybhg #houseandhome #sunsetmag #apartmenttherapy #myeclecticmix #inmydomaine #mycuratedaesthetic #stellarspaces #currentdesignsituation #finditstyleit #hunkerhome #modernbohemian #modernboho #bohemianmodern #thisiswhyihavetothriftshopeveryday#bathroomrug #modernbathroom

We're all about packing a punch in small spaces. In the powder bathroom of our #EdinaContemporary project, we played with mixing materials (i.e marble sink, walnut counter, and a metal base) to give this vanity an inviting, furniture-like feel. ✨🖤 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷: @spacecrafting_photography⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Architect: @davidcharlezdesigns⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Builder: @sustainable9⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bhilivebeautifully #ggathome #sodomino #mydomaine #centeredbydesign #beckiowensfeature #hgtvhome #myhousebeautiful #ckstyleaccordingly #theeverygirlathome #myoklstyle #mynesthome #roomhints #howihaven #mywilliamsonomahome #myscoutandnimble #pursuepretty #howdoesshe #thenewsouthern #lindsayhillloves #mybhg #lcdotcomloves #nestworthy #mysmphome #rshome #powderbathroom #bathroom #contemporary #marblesink

And we finally have a mirror 🙌 it took soooo long to arrive, and then when it did, it was marked, so we had to send it back and wait ages for a new one. But now it's here and up and finishes this part of the en-suite. We've been totally terrible at posing photos, even though there's lots going on - just nothing finished! #roundmirror #goldmirror #ensuitegoals #mattblack #mattblacktaps #whitetiles #ensuite #goldaccessories #floatingsink #bathroomgoals #bathroomremodel #bathroom #renovation #housedecor #houserenovation #interiordesign #interiordecorating #ensuitedesign #ensuitebathroom #ensuiteinspo #bathroomtiles #bathroomdecor #housebeautiful

I really want to change out our black kitchen cabinet pulls and replace them with these bronze ones! I think I may be too lazy to spray paint our current ones like I planned 🤦🏼‍♀️. Debating if I should spray them or just get some new ones on Amazon?! They really aren't that expensive. Maybe I'll just sell our old black ones🙌🏻. Anyone have any luck painting their hardware? I've heard it can chip and not hold up well? Thanks for any tips!!

Our master bath is one of my favorite rooms! It's so big and bright and these mirrors complete it! The mirrors are from @kirklands and we have got so many beautiful compliments on them! 💙💙 . . #happydecorhour #finditstyleit #detailsofdesign #letsgettwisteddecor #bohemianluxe #homedecorblogger #farmhouseinspired #moderndecor #modernfarmhouse #urbanfarmhouse #bathroomdecor #bathroomdesign #suburbanhomestyle #kirklands #hobbylobby #target #targetfinds #whitebathroom #cleanandsimple #cleandecor #ballhomes #f4f
