RANGE REVIEW: KITCHENS & BATHROOMS


STEP INTO BATHROOM STYLE I


Bathrooms are no longer just functional spaces; they’ve become a canvas for design expression, wellness, and relaxation. Whether that’s reflected in the flooring, décor or accessories used.


n 2025, the latest bathing trends focus on creating bespoke experiences at home, blending timeless design with


a modern sensibility. From soothing textures to bold personality, here are the standout ways homeowners are reimagining their bathroom sanctuaries.


The rise of en-suite elegance Functionality meets finesse with the growing popularity of double- sink spaces in en-suite bathrooms. More than just a time-saver for busy mornings, double vanities offer symmetry, space, and a sense of tailored luxury. When paired with wood-effect floors, these spaces exude a calm, timeless appeal. It’s a refined look that balances rustic charm with contemporary convenience.


Pop of personality Gone are the days of plain, purely practical family bathrooms. A surge in the use of bold accessories, such as patterned vanity cases, colourful towels, and bright, attention- grabbing lampshades, is helping to inject individuality and a sense of fun into these shared spaces.


This trend allows homeowners


and renters to explore vibrant design without permanent commitment, making bathrooms feel fresh, expressive, and perfectly suited for all ages.


Gleam & glamour A subtle shimmer can go a long way. Metallic finishes, especially in brushed gold, brass, and matte black, are adding a sophisticated edge to bathroom fixtures and hardware. From taps to lighting, these glistening details layer in a sense of modern luxury without overpowering the space. Mixed metals are also trending, giving homeowners freedom to blend warmth and coolness for a curated, high-end feel.


Soft underfoot Rugs are making a surprising and stylish comeback in bathroom design. Whether layered over tile or vinyl, these cosy additions bring an unexpected softness underfoot while helping define zones in larger spaces. Calming tones and abstract forms can add a spa-like ambience, offering both comfort and a calming visual element. It’s an easy update that transforms a sterile space into a serene one.

Pattern play


Patterned vinyl floors are enjoying a major moment and are becoming a go-to way to add realistic tile character to bathrooms. From traditional monochrome designs to geometric motifs, they add instant impact while being a foot-friendly alternative to ceramic.
