Latest bathroom trends

As each year ends, another begins. And that means one thing and one thing only: the latest bathroom trends to inspire one of the most used rooms in the home. Trends evolve each year, with new accents and colour palettes to dabble in, and smart technology making further advancements; all to help you create a relaxing and eye-catching space. Join us as we take a look into what bathroom trends we can expect to see coming up.

Keep it warm and cosy

What colours can we expect in bathroom trends this year? While bold and vibrant tones can still make a statement, warm colour palettes are paving the way in 2027. Say goodbye to cool greys and bright whites, and hello to warm neutrals, earthy browns, sage greens, terracotta and olives. Combined with textures, greenery and other natural-looking finishes, this relaxed and grounded aesthetic is nothing more than an inviting atmosphere.

Top tip: forget accent walls because colour drenching is the craze right now - try the same warming bathroom paint colours across the walls, ceiling and cabinetry for an immersive, cocooning bathroom space.

Spa-throoms for relaxation

Nothing says pamper night quite like creating a spa in your home. Whether you choose a bath with integrated jets or a waterfall steam shower head, you’ll instantly add an element of luxury to your space. We have a wide range of whirlpool baths to choose from, but we recommend a square-shaped tub for the ultimate modern and indulgent experience.

Make a statement with your tiling

Your bathroom tiles are what sets the mood in the room, and this year, minimalism is out the window. You can expect to see styles like small-format tiles, mosaics, checkerboard patterns and textured tiles. You can also get creative by layering different patterns using similar, matching shades. It's a brilliant and playful way to add some personality to your space.

A basin that becomes a focal point

Basins are no longer just about functionality, but about enhancing the aesthetics of a bathroom. Sculptural shapes, stone-effect, furniture-inspired designs and freestanding vanities are going to set the tone of the space.

Mixed metals aren’t just for jewellery

With more eclectic home interior styles on the horizon, cohesive metals are on their way out of bathroom trends. Designers are beginning to mix together chrome, brushed brass, nickel, black and other finishes to create a unique look in taps, towel rails and more; a nod to vintage, collected-looking homes.

Layer up your lighting

Singular bathroom lighting is no longer the norm. Instead, layered lights such as light-up mirrors, under-vanity lighting and shower lighting aid task, ambient and accent lighting to create a space both practical and hotel-like. Illuminate the room with lighting that speaks luxury to achieve this bathroom trend.

Accessibility becomes mainstream

With the recent popularity in wet rooms, accessible bathrooms are becoming more popular - not just in homes that require them. In fact, walk-in showers, shower seats, wider entrances and grab rails can all contribute to a luxurious space, especially with less clinical designs.

Express yourself through your bathroom

Individualism is what makes a house a home these days. And in terms of trending bathrooms, we’re out with the show home looks and in with the personality. We’re talking decorative wallpaper, vintage furniture, artwork, contrasting colour combinations, and metal mixing & matching.
