Making a visual splash
From innovative fixtures to minimalist, seamless designs and natural colour palettes, Hayley Bowman of Frontline Bathrooms explores likely trends for 2025 in the bathroom to help inspire your choices
A
s we near the end of the year, we start to think about what 2025 will bring for the world
of bathrooms. 2024 will no doubt be remembered as the year of the so-called ‘spathroom’, with warmth, tranquillity, and character considered the must-have bathroom trends. Looking into next year, expect these styles to remain popular and very much in style. To create the feeling of an at-home spa, more consumers have been incorporating things like mood lighting, vanity units perfect for pampering, towel heaters and even heated flooring into their bathroom renovations. It’s clear that homeowners want to indulge themselves a little and create spaces that keep them feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Another top trend the industry expects to see more of in 2025 is the dominance of earthy colours and natural materials such as marble, wood, ceramic and clay. These sort of shades and textures help to create a more raw, pared-back bathroom style.
Not only is choosing the right
bathroom important for you when it comes to living in the home, it’s also worth noting that bathrooms can add up to 5% onto the value of a property.
MUTED COLOURS Bathroom manufacturers are seeing a shift in popular colours and patterns being used in a bathroom space as white
and grey finishes are slowly moving towards more muted tones. Taking Frontline Bathrooms’ Midi Furniture range for example – in 2023 matte white made up 60% of sales, however this year, it’s decreased to 42% with taupe and graphite closely behind. Colours such as soft grey and cashmere will continue to trend as they provide colour to the bathroom without overpowering it; providing more natural, muted and earthy tones to create a feeling of sanctuary. Providing a timeless feel that suits every design style, shades such as taupe and beige can also create the perfect backdrop, adding a cosy and warm atmosphere in the bathroom. Complementing those colours with bolder bathroom tiles and materials like wood, rattan and stone can also be used to add a more organic feel.

TASTEFUL TEXTURE The trend for texture continues; the demand for knurled brassware and handles is constantly growing. The Azar brassware range, for example, has seen sales of the matte black basin mono increase almost 175%, from 22 units a month to 60 units a month. It’s predicted that this will be the case throughout 2025, but with softer shapes and grooves which are much less domineering than the slats trend of 2024. While wall panelling itself may be nothing new, this traditional design has made its way into bathrooms with vertical slats in the tile providing texture, while maintaining a stylish ‘tone-on-tone’ colour palette. Instead, it’s thought we’ll see the
emergence of seamless finishes, with arches and curves contributing to a softer and more fluid bathroom design
