Interior design trends are ever-changing, but we won't be losing our desire for color, texture, and a more homey appeal in our bathroom ideas. Trends this year will be taking the best elements that have dominated recently and pairing them with a more considered design style.
To find out the styles, colors, and designs that will be everywhere this year, we've turned to experts to discover the biggest bathroom trends for 2025 – and it's certainly got us excited for the coming year.
11 bathroom trends to have on your radar for 2025
While we aren't suggesting you should remodel your bathroom every year, these trends are a great guide for how you can add design elements that feel in style and offer advice on creating more personalized spaces. And if you are remodeling a bathroom this year, these 2025 trends will offer plenty of inspiration.
1. Nature-inspired designs
Well-being benefits have become a priority in home design, and in 2025, this trend will continue to dominate in bathrooms. And what better way to create a luxurious, wellness-focused space than with elements inspired by the natural world?
‘Fresh materials and colors incorporating nature-inspired textures and finishes paying homage to nature look to drive design trends for luxury bath spaces in the next year. We are seeing an uptick in next-level wellness trends as homeowners prioritize their health and well-being,’ says Seth Fritz, industrial design lead advanced development and showering at Brizo®.
‘Some examples of this include water filtration and steam shower systems being incorporated more frequently into bathrooms, along with increasing the number of windows and openness to allow for the incorporation of nature and natural light.’
2. Tile drenched schemes
Color drenching has been the buzzword of 2024 trends, but it’s not the easiest style to introduce to a bathroom. But offering a blend of style and function, tile drenching is set to dominate in 2025, adding personality and unexpected design features to schemes of every style.
‘It's striking and makes the room feel more polished and intentional. While we call it a trend, it’s something we believe will stand the test of time due to its ability to create such a timeless and impactful design,’ says Kailee Blalock, co-founder and principal designer at House of Hive Design Co.
‘Tile drenching makes a grand statement in any room. Especially when using a high-gloss tile, it adds a beautiful visual effect that reflects light and elevates the space. We’ve been loving rich tones like maroon, burgundy, and plum for tile drenching – they’re bold, but add warmth to a space. Cream is another favorite of ours because it’s classic and will never go out of style.’
3. Organic shapes
There’s been a shift toward curvaceous furniture throughout the home – and bathrooms are catching up. The year ahead is set to embrace softer, more organic profiles through furniture, tiles, and decor.
‘In 2025, bathroom design will continue to move away from the dominance of harsh, angular lines in favor of softer, more organic shapes. This shift not only reflects aesthetic preferences but also runs parallel with broader lifestyle trends like minimalism and the slow-living movement,’ says Natalie Bird, brand marketing manager at Roca.
‘Incorporating more rounded forms into bathroom design is an evolution of minimalism. Where minimalism once meant boxy shapes and sharp corners, today’s interpretation is more fluid and connected to nature. The Tura bathtub is a perfect example, as it demonstrates how organic forms can embody the simplicity and tranquillity of minimalism while also creating a sense of warmth and calm.’
4. Minimalist, quiet luxury bathrooms
For most homeowners and designers, the bathroom is a space where there’s a desire for a more luxury appeal. Whether it’s the materials, colors, or even the decor, this year’s bathroom trends will embrace quiet luxury with a refined and pared-back finish.
‘Bathroom design in 2025 looks set to embrace a refined, minimalist aesthetic with a touch of quiet luxury. This trend moves away from flashy elements, emphasizing subtle elegance through neutral or muted color palettes and high-quality materials. Quiet luxury isn’t about following fads but creating timeless spaces that evolve gracefully over time,’ says Emma Mottram, brand marketing manager at Alape.
From larger features such as basins and vanities to smaller details like lighting and decor, trends are moving towards understated elegance, showcasing luxurious style in a less obvious way. It’s all about executing a minimalist style without the space feeling cold or empty.
5. Bathrooms filled with texture
Shape and texture is a key focus in bathroom trends this year. There’s a clear shift towards adding a cozier, softer feel to designs in a way that still maintains the practicality that a bathroom requires.
‘Bathroom design in 2025 is embracing a new level of sensory appeal, with texture taking center stage. This trend transforms traditionally sterile, flat surfaces into visually stunning elements that are equally inviting to the touch. The shift reflects a growing desire for tactile. immersive interiors, where the feel of a surface is just as important as its visual impact,’ says Emma Mottram, brand marketing manager at LAUFEN.
She notes that designs this year will be more than just aesthetics – instead, they are ‘seeking spaces that engage all the senses, offering a more relaxing and personalized experience.’ Beautifully textured tiles are a wonderful addition to this, but this trend can be taken further and introduced through sinks, vanities, and even lighting.
6. Avocado bathrooms are back
We’ve seen colorful bathroom suites making a comeback in 2024 – beautiful hues on bathtubs and sinks have added an unexpected splash of color to schemes. But in 2025, a color we never thought would make a return is back on the bathroom scene.
‘Whoever would have thought it but avocado is back in bathroom design! Whether you’re still reeling from this trend the first time around, or are coming to it with fresh eyes, there’s no debating that this particular shade of green makes a distinctive style statement,’ says Barrie Cutchie, design director at BC Designs.
Its revival has an evolved look, though. Instead of everything matching, it’s about mixing and matching elements for a more visually interesting scheme. ‘Translating the trend in a much more subtle way makes it more accessible to different tastes, styles, and budgets. Splashes of green create a modern vibe without going the whole hog – after all, the saturated shades of the 70s were pretty overwhelming,’ he adds.
A successful bathroom embracing this trend will really depend on the styling. The materials and finishes you pair avocado green with, as well as the aesthetic of your scheme, all come into play. ‘Avocado pairs perfectly with wood and natural stone, for a look that’s soft and relaxing. Or you can team your colorful bath and basin with white tiles for a room that’s cool and contemporary.’
‘The context of the room makes all the difference too. Choosing avocado for a rustic property or a period home, for example, gives it a whole new look and feel – with more of a nod to heritage palettes. If your space is modern, a statement freestanding colorful bath can give an ultra-modern room the wow factor, too. One thing is for sure though, this is the color of 2025,’ says Barrie
7. Colorful marble
When you think of your dream bathroom, marble probably features in some way. And while the colder finish of white and gray marble is no longer favored, a more colorful alternative is expected to shine in the year ahead.
‘Bathroom trends are generally influenced, at times, by kitchen trends, and one we are sure to see in 2025 is the rise of colored marble. Colored marble is having a real moment, whether it is full color or heavy-colored veining. It is striking, it is dramatic, and it is luxurious,’ says Grazzie Wilson, head of creative at Ca’ Pietra.
‘However, all this doesn’t come cheap or necessarily practical for bathrooms. And so, to get this trend in this setting, we’re seeing a rise of marble-effect tiles that are replicating the look. Add in another trend for 2025 of stone drenching (where the same tile is used on walls, floors, and potentially even bath surrounds) and you will have a show-stopper of a bathroom.’
8. Home spa bathrooms will continue to prove popular
Ever since the year of lockdowns (that we try not to mention), spa bathrooms have been ever-sought after. However, rather than choosing multiple bathrooms in the home, we’re seeing a shift bag to one large room.
‘The concept of having your own spa bathroom at home is a trend that isn’t going to go anywhere – even if it has been around for several years – and one that we’ll continue to see in 2025. Home spas are evolving as we are moving back towards one larger bathroom over two smaller ones in the home,’ says Louise Ashdown, head of design at West One Bathrooms.
‘Homeowners are continuing to invest heavily in creating a luxurious and relaxing space, away from the hustle and bustle of normal life. As a result, there has been a surge in demand for luxury products, with a rise in large and more opulent items. The big-ticket item is a rainfall shower that has several different functions and settings for a truly spa-like experience,’ she explains.
9. Contrasting yet complementary bathroom colors
Fear not, trends aren't returning to plain white rooms. Color is still a big talking point in 2025’s bathroom trends, but expect a more nuanced approach to palettes compared to the more eclectic schemes of the past year.
‘We’re really enjoying seeing clients become more confident and experimental with color in the bathroom. It’s a space that needs to be welcoming, and for some people, this means using calming neutrals, but for others, it means incorporating energizing bursts of color,’ says Lizzi Catchpole, head of design at Catchpole & Rye.
‘2024 has seen seemingly random additions of single tones - everyone will remember unexpected red as one of the biggest trends of this year! For 2025, we predict pairs of contrasting but complementary hues to resonate more with residential designers and clients, who are looking to inject color in a more considered way. Keeping to two distinct palettes gives you a specific range to choose from, so the result will be more harmonious but still exciting,’ she explains.
How these color pairings are introduced will come down to personal preference, but this trend will be all about how two colors can work together in a space to create an eye-catching design – and favored approaches blend a few of this year’s bathroom trends.
‘You could opt for a bold hue for the tub, and match this through some of the surrounding furniture and accessories, while selecting a different tone on the walls and floors. Or create an eye-catching focal point if the bathroom is swathed in a singular color, bar one item in a more confident hue. It gives a lot of creative freedom, without being overwhelming.’
10. Walk-in showers
Past bathroom trends have focused on statement bathtubs, from roll-top designs to free-standing additions, but this year is all about the walk-in shower. A seamless finish that works in bathrooms big and small, is 2025 the year to ditch the bath?
‘I love a seamless walk-in to the shower, no threshold, and the same tile throughout. This is great, especially for smaller bathrooms – the seamless floor helps to make the bathroom feel bigger,’ says interior designer Taniya Nayak.
‘Make sure the floor tile is smaller to accommodate the slope in the shower. There are plenty of great options from penny rounds, to small-scale chevrons to hexagons, or even a smaller stone tile like a river rock for a more spa-like feel,’ she adds.
11. Statement stone
There’s been a theme running through interior design trends for creating ‘moments’ in schemes. In bathroom trends, it’s all about using a statement stone to create a focal point.
‘We love a statement stone in a bathroom, like a bold Calacatta Viola. A colorful, striking marble can act as the anchor in a design scheme, with more muted, neutral elements tied in,’ says Molly Torres Portnof, founder and principal designer at DATE Interiors.
There are plenty of ways to create a ‘moment’ with stone in the bathroom – a statement sink can look really striking, or a shower nook lined in a quality stone can create a stunning focal point.
The biggest bathroom trends for 2025 are all centered around enduring design, spaces catering to wellness, and introducing color in more considered ways. There is still space to experiment and create unique schemes, but in a fashion that feels more enduring and up-to-date.
