Bathrooms are going to feel more spacious and airier in 2025. One of the most popular ways to achieve the look is with wet areas. They combine one or more of the standard artefacts like a freestanding bathtub, built-in bath or shower.
The trend is towards wet-room style drainage, in other words, a floor drain that is flush with the floor finish and does not require a shower tray upstand. The glass shower screen adds to the open-plan sensation and allows light to reflect off all surfaces making the bathroom seem even larger. To convert your bathroom into a steam room bring the glass partition right up to the ceiling.
Statement bathrooms with a darker and moodier material palette will continue to trend this year. Nevertheless, some expertise is needed to pull off the look. A black wall in dark stone, such as slate, granite and marble combines well with anthracite grey, dark reds and brown colour schemes. Cladding and bathroom furniture in darker timbers like oak, teak and cherry wood make for a sophisticated setting.

Natural and artificial lighting is critical to the design of darker bathrooms. Darker bathrooms are more suited to smaller spaces where drama compensates for the lack of space. But we are also going to see larger bathrooms in more moody colour schemes that ooze sophisticated elegance.
The unique qualities of metal in bathroom décor are as practical as they are decorative. During 2025 we are witnessing an interesting evolution in metallic surfaces and finishes that are bringing a new aesthetic to bathroom styling. One of the most dramatic developments of bathroom trends 2025 is happening in vanity units, bathroom accessories such as mirrors and storage cabinets, as well as shelving. The look incorporates colour in a satin finish that absorbs the light and adds a contrasting texture to other bathroom surfaces.

One of the most popular small bathroom trends 2025 is large format floor and wall tiles. The effect is visually impacting, a small bathroom can appear much larger. This is explained by the continuous surface effect with fewer joints that tricks the eye, especially with rectified tiles. We are also seeing this in larger bathrooms with material saturation where floors and walls use the same large format tile.
Similarly, vanity units made from solid surfaces mimic the continuous effect of flooring and wall cladding without the joints between the bowl and the countertop. Visually the look is clean and hygienic with a futuristic twist.

Colour saturation has been a thing now for some years within interior design trends in living rooms and bedrooms. Walls and ceilings painted in the same colour shade provide an intensive immersive chromatic experience.
Bathroom trends 2025 now sees this approach applied to materials. And marble is trending over all other options. The various surfaces of the open bathroom including the shower enclosure and vanity unit are integrated using a single marble tone. Rich honey tones in warm beige and travertine stone in a satin finish are going to dominate this trend. Marble effect tiles are the best way to get the look which looks classic no matter what future trends dictate. The saturated aesthetic looks particularly eye-catching in coloured and veined marble.
Following the trend that celebrates all things craft-related generally in home décor the bathroom will also feature handmade elements. This is explained by a renewed interest in organic materials and raw finishes.
Cut stone sinks, repurposed furniture and recycled timber as vanity units, terracotta decorative elements, and timber accessories like towel racks and stools will all find a place in bathroom trends 2025. These materials have a natural and tactile quality that transports us back to the earth, adding a ‘homely’ feel. The imperfection of handicrafts possesses a beauty that feels welcoming and encourages longer stays during a warm bath or a grooming activity.

During 2025 we will also see a resurgence in the more industrial style, loft bathroom décor. Bathroom furniture and accessories are going to reflect the clean silhouette and hygienic qualities of this trend.
The look includes continuous flooring in cement effect tiles, floating or wall-mounted sanitary fittings, dark metal shower heads and taps, and metal vanity units. The aesthetic is pristine but will be softened by warmer metallic accessories such as gold and brass that make a subtle but significant difference. Glass block, fluted glass screens, and stainless steel combined with other metals are making a comeback in bathrooms.
Gold metallic shower screen frames are lending bathrooms a touch of luxurious sophistication this year. The most popular metal frame options for 2025 will include copper, titanium, bronze and gold colour finishes. As well as lending a more characterful accent to shower enclosures these frames help coordinate bathroom design. Combine these frames with handles, shower columns and taps for an integrated look.
This trend makes the most impact when the shower cladding contrasts with the metal frame to create an eye-catching feature. The overall effect is still open and transparent but with an attractive framing.

With the help of wallpaper, colourful paint, craft tiles and elements of vintage furniture the bathroom is going to be a riot of creativity during 2025. The trend is towards a more personal appropriation of the space. Get the basic sanitary ware elements right and you can afford to be more whimsical with finishes and decorative touches. Bathroom trends 2025 include playful wallpaper patterns and wall murals, personal touches in accessories and artworks that say something about us and our tastes.

Decorative ceramic tiles never go out of style in bathroom decor and 2025 is going to be no different. Over recent years we have seen greater creative licence in the use of tiles. From three-dimensional tiles to classic metro tiles in characterful colours.
Bathroom trends 2025 are going to include hand-crafted tiles and mosaics in more decorative laying patterns. There is also going to be a much more playful approach to combining two or more colour tiles in bathroom interiors. We will see a more creative mixture of pattern and colour in simple square and rectangular tiles.
On-trend bathroom colours this year include warm raw tones that connect us to nature and the earth. Neutral shades such as beige, dark browns and off-whites will combine with greens and metallics such as rose gold. Colour will add sophisticated character to help create a calming spa-like atmosphere. Green is the colour of regeneration and peace while gold adds an elegant refinement. Meanwhile, the neutrals anchor the bathroom with a material palette that features stone and timber predominantly.
The 2025 bathroom is going to be filled with soft and sensual curves. Think of freestanding bathtubs and blob-shaped mirrors. This décor is defined by its stylish organic silhouette which can be combined with more conventional elements. Vanity units for example will combine the geometric storage of wood and metal with the rounded fluid forms of ceramic Wash Hand Basins.
This trend is also found in retro-style light fittings in spherical or teardrop forms during the year ahead. Potted plants such as ferns and peace lilies that thrive in humid ambience complete the look.
