The start of a New Year is a great time to be enthusiastic about fresh beginnings as it provides plentiful opportunities for you to put energy and focus into endeavours that you really should have got around to doing last year.

If you spent a lot of last year hankering for your dream bathroom, now is the time to take the bull by the horns and make it happen! But before you do: you should take a good look around and see what the trends are before rejuvenating your bathroom into a retreat fit for a king (or queen).

Here are a few of the design trends which are expected to influence luxury bathrooms across the country in 2012:

Freestanding baths
Having already taken hold in 2011, the freestanding bath tub looks set to continue as a favourite luxury design element in the coming year. Certainly, a freestanding tub makes any bathroom ooze with style and sophistication.

Bathroom lighting
LED pendants above mirrors and LED track lighting along mirror frames and wall and floor tiles could well be a big hit in 2012 as they can help achieve the exact right level of illumination to optimise relaxation and highlight a luxury bathrooms beauty.
