Bathroom trends

Introducing the key looks that are set to define bathrooms this year, where luxury, warm colours, layered textures and smart tech provide next-level indulgence

- 

Get excited, the bathroom trends for 2025 are nothing short of stunning and there are plenty of great options to suit all property styles. This year, our experts are predicting an even bolder embrace of natural textures and dramatic patterns that will make bathrooms feel like an extension of your living room. Bathtime can be just as relaxing as lazing on the sofa with your favourite box set.

Expect to witness the return of avocado - in a good way - and discover the decorative stone that's competing with marble for pole position in our hearts. Plus balanced colour is firmly on the cards, while touchless taps and personalised showering will bring new levels of convenience to everyday routines.

Fashion-forward shades are firmly on the warm side of the colour wheel, with earthy tones, warm cashmere whites and deliciously rich burgundy leading the way. By contrast, brassware finishes are getting cooler-chrome is back, while brushed nickel and steel are providing a softer aesthetic with timeless appeal.

Imagine stepping into a bathroom that's dedicated to restoring calmness and brings joy to your soul - 2025 is poised to bring that vision to life...

AVOCADO SMASH

If you're renovating a property that hasn't been touched since the 1970s, you may still have an avocado suite in place. Guard it with your life because avocado is exploding back into bathrooms for 2025 - so you're already ahead of the curve. Those still having nightmares from the murky green's first bathroom takeover, relax. This time around the avocado approach is set to be more cautious and considered, says BC Designs' design director Barrie Cutchie. It's not necessarily about the full-on in-your-face avocado suite; now, there's more freedom to dip into avocado without going full matchy-matchy.
