sustainability.” These eco- friendly choices not only reduce environmental impact but also futureproof bathrooms, offering long-term value to homeowners.
Technological advancements in smart bathrooms
The integration of smart technology is steadily becoming a hallmark of modern bathrooms. James Roberts notes: “Simple innovations like motion-sensor bathroom taps and touchless flush systems are becoming mainstream.” However, high-tech features like voice-controlled showers remain niche due to cost and complexity. Sophie Weston, Head of Marketing at Geberit UK explains the growing appeal of “wellness technology like shower toilets, which integrate comfort, hygiene, and environmental benefits.” As technology becomes more accessible, the gap between luxury and mainstream smart bathrooms is expected to close, bringing innovative features to a wider audience.
Texture, tiles, and natural materials Tactile surfaces and natural materials are transforming bathroom aesthetics.
From fluted finishes to textured tiles that mimic stone, these elements add depth and dimension to bathroom spaces. Sally explains: “Textured tiles and light wood grains create depth and a connection to nature.” Lee Robinson, Product Manager (UK) - Residential Fittings, at Ideal Standard, observes, “a rise in decorative tile compositions over geometric patterns,” while James Roberts highlights “large-format porcelain bathroom tiles and metallic accents are key for balancing luxury and practicality.”
These materials not only enhance the visual appeal of bathrooms but also offer durability and versatility, making them ideal for modern homeowners seeking style and substance.

growing demand for spaces that not only enhance daily routines but also promote long-term well-being, allowing individuals to personalise
their bathrooms as a place of both aesthetic beauty and practical health and wellness.”
