Those who want their bathroom suites to be on trend may wish to make note of one department store co-owner’s interior design predictions for 2011.

Speaking to Journal Live, Jane Rutherford of Rutherfords said her colours for the next 12 months will be smudgy greys, browns, lavenders and cobalt blues, the latter of which is one of her favourites, although she did say she finds it doesn’t work in large doses.

“I would introduce this colour to my brown and grey home in subtle tones or perhaps through accessories,” she remarked, which suggests that bathroom furniture in the shade could complement a room well.

Ms Rutherford also provided some advice to anyone about to embark on a renovation project, recommending them not to follow fashion and trends “too slavishly”.

However, the Arizona Daily Star recently stated that square and rectangular sinks are the “shapes du jour” and offer a modern look while helping to maximise space, which could be of interest to some.
