BATHROOMS & WETROOMS
SERENE HUES
“ As we move into 2025 , serene hues are set to continue their influence on bathroom design , with rich , deep colours like midnight blue , charcoal grey , and forest green at the forefront . This shift reflects a growing desire to transform bathrooms into tranquil retreats amidst our hectic lives . The depth of midnight blue evokes a sense of calm , making the space feel like a serene retreat . Charcoal grey , with its moody undertones , adds sophistication and a soothing atmosphere that envelops you in comfort . Meanwhile , forest green connects the indoors with the natural world , fostering a tranquil , grounding effect that brings the calming essence of nature into your home .
“ Using these tones on walls , floors , and even fixtures introduces a striking contrast to traditional bathroom design , giving the space a modern yet timeless appeal .
“ Accent lighting and metallic details will play a crucial role in adding a touch of glamour and warmth to spaces too . Expect to see clever use of dimmable lights and LED strips to highlight textures and create a soft , ambient glow . Combined with plush materials and matt black fixtures , darker shades such as Wetwall ’ s Greystone Marble , Tempesta and Fossil Stone will not only elevate the style of your bathroom but also make it a perfect retreat for relaxation and indulgence .
MIXED MATERIALS
“ Expect to see inventive pairings , like marble vanities set against concrete walls or wooden accents combined with glossy finishes . Mixed materials will be used to create focal points and add dimension , making bathrooms feel more bespoke and thoughtfully designed . By incorporating a variety of textures , designers can create spaces that are both contemporary and inviting , ensuring your bathroom stands out with a unique and stylish flair . This effect is easily achieved with wall panels , which are available in a range of styles , are cost-effective , and perfectly complement the opulent , layered looks of modern bathroom renovations .
“ Mixed materials will become a defining feature of bathroom design , where blending various textures will craft a rich , layered feel .
