Spotlight on... colour palettes

What colours are trending for bathrooms? While bold and vibrant tones can make a statement, the gentle tones of sky blue are taking over as one of the key bathroom colour trends. Instead of making the room feel cold and clinical, this aesthetic creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Spotlight on… spa-throoms

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

Spotlight on… getting creative with bathroom tiles

Looking to update your bathroom tiles this year? There are plenty of classic vintage styles and bold, playful patterns to choose from. You can also get creative by layering different patterns using similar, matching shades. It's a brilliant way to add some personality to your space while keeping the whole room feeling calm and relaxing.

Shower curtains to the ceiling

Looking for a simple way to make your bathroom feel bigger? Hanging your shower curtain from the ceiling to the floor is a brilliant trick. It instantly makes a small space feel much larger, giving the curtain a neat, finished look rather than feeling like an afterthought.

It’s only a small change, but it’s a great way to make your room feel coordinated without a full redesign.

Contrasting tile grout

Our grout range has expanded in recent years, with white no longer being the go-to colour. We suggest finding a tone that accents and compliments the colour of the tiles and your chosen bathroom fixings.

Nifty wet rooms

An advancement on the popular walk-in showers comes wet rooms. This new trend means you can take advantage of the luxuries of a shower room even in smaller spaces such as downstairs toilets.

They’re also incredibly accessible and can be one of the most aesthetically pleasing additions to a bathroom, especially with large-paned shower screens and natural flooring such as stone or slate.

Integrated mirrors and vanity lighting

A bathroom trend that has stuck over recent years is mirrors that feature lighting either in the mirror panel or behind the mirror itself. These additions are not only practical but add the perfect finishing touch to the room, whether it's big or small.

Not to mention, you are given the ideal item for tasks such as shaving and applying makeup, and they can also add softer, more relaxing lighting to the room when you want to unwind.

Brushed nickel

Brass has always been a popular choice for taps and handles, but there's a new metal trend to look out for. Brushed nickel has a beautiful, soft finish that's warmer than chrome and much gentler than bold brass.

It's incredibly versatile and pairs beautifully with grey, soft cream, pale pink and warm taupe. Or you can use it to contrast darker, richer shades like forest green, indigo blue and terracotta.
