The Bathroom Trends To Trust
Ideal Home UK|March 2020
Updating a bathroom means navigating myriad choices and risking being seduced by design details that date quickly. We’ve sorted the wheat from the chaff to keep you on the right road for a bathroom you still love in 2025.
The Bathroom Trends To Trust

Fish scale tiles

Meet the Tile of the Year. Lay it in any orientation you like, add in contrasting grout and team with a plain neutral so it stands out instead of taking over. Inspired by art deco design, its authenticity makes it trend-proof. Could it be the new metro?

Bowl basins

Bathrooms tend to have lots of square lines, but a curvaceous basin will soften the look for a sexier, less functional feel. Plus, round basins are easier to keep clean – there are no corners for toothpaste or washed-off make-up to get trapped in.

Dark wood finishes

If you’re committed to white and/or grey walls and floor, furniture in a rich walnut finish will give your bathroom warmth and definition for a classic hotel-luxe look.
