2016 has been one heck of a year here at homify. We've shown you countless houses and apartments displaying individual, upscale, and innovative style for your inspiration and enjoyment. And now it's time to take a step back and look at some of the best.

Today's segment is all about bathrooms! With so many different bathroom designs and ideas, it was hard to choose our favourites, but we somehow managed. This selection is a great representation of what you can achieve in a larger or smaller space. 

So let's browse through some of the best bathroom ideas of the year!

1. Oh, the variety

Our first bathroom uses quite a number of different materials to make its mark on the world. The first thing that pops out to us is the large standing shower which was made from gorgeous white marble and is encased in crystal clear glass. The glass enclosure keeps the bathroom feeling large, and the marble… well, aside from its functional benefits, it's just plain breathtaking. 

In addition to marble and glass, this bathroom also gives us wooden elements which we can see in the form of the decorative bench and closet, as well as for the sink basin. A little extra thin and ornamental light shade was put over the lamp in order to cast interesting shadows over the deep and relaxing tub. 

This combination of materials can be implemented in even the tiniest of bathrooms for an elegant and pampering ambience.

2. Tunnel vision

This next bathroom is an excellent example of what you can accomplish when your bathroom is rectangular and narrow. Organisation in this type of bathroom is key. Placing the largest item, the bath tub, in the back ensures the best possible use of space. This way, you don't have a giant object blocking your way to the sink or more importantly, the toilet.

Using crazy patterned tiles gives this bathroom exquisite charm and turns a room of pure white into a place of interest. Wooden elements like the countertop and storage options help to offset the monochrome nature.

3. Sleek

Up next, we have a bathroom that's not so rich in different materials, but definitely well stocked with style. The colour palette is dark, but we still feel a sense of expansion due to the large mirrors above the sink. The standing shower is far to the left behind an opaque sheet of glass, making shower time private while also keeping things open. For contrast, the sink and toilet were made from pure white porcelain.

4. Function over style

Some bathrooms serve their basic purpose, but are purely ornate. Others focus only on function, and this bathroom is one of them. Don't get us wrong, it certainly has great style, but we can tell by the furnishings and arrangements that this bathroom is meant to serve every practical purpose imaginable. 

Getting ready in the morning is no problem when you have His and Her sinks–each with their own medicine cabinet behind a mirror. Each sink unit has its own storage, too, which is why this bathroom looks so spotless. But of course, the immaculate white subway tiles also help with that. 

The standing shower has glass doors and slits of wood on the floor, and for that extra spa-like feeling, a shower head that has what seems like 100 different settings was installed. 

5. Au naturale

The last bathroom on the list boasts the beauty of nature in all of its forms. Wood, stone, and plant life all combine to create an incredibly serene and zen atmosphere. A bamboo screen was placed near the tub for privacy and to keep with the natural theme. Stone walls add rich texture next to the smooth wood and matte tiles, and they make the toilet and bidet seem to pop out even more from the wall. 

Stone and wood is a great combination for a more rustic or Asian-inspired bathroom, but naturally, when manipulated, these materials could work well in any style of bathroom. Change the stone to more of a brick, and you have the beginnings of an industrial style space. 

We hope you enjoyed our top five bathrooms of 2016, and we'll keep you posted about even more popular trends this time next year!
