BIOPHILIC DESIGN
“ The influence of biophilic design will continue to shape bathroom design in 2025 , drawing inspiration from the natural world to create calming and restorative spaces . Elements such as earthy textures , irregular shapes , and natural colour palettes will bring the outdoors inside , fostering a sense of tranquillity that is increasingly important as people spend 90 % of their time indoors , according to World Health Organisation statistics .
“ To enhance this connection to nature features like stone-like tiles , wooden accents and integrated plant elements will be prominent . These elements echo the soothing effects of natural environments , which have been shown to improve mental wellbeing and reduce stress .
“ Wood-effect bathroom wall panels such as Wetwall ’ s Linear Oak is ideal for those who want to incorporate the warmth and texture of wood into their interior . Available in a variety of grains and shades , Wetwall ’ s panels offer a perfect alternative to traditional tiles . Requiring no grouting , which makes them easy to install and maintain , they are an effortless way to add natural charm to your space .

BACK TO THE PAST
“ In 2025 , we expect to see a nostalgic blend of the best of 70s and 90s home decor , creating spaces that are both retro and modern . This " Back to the Past " trend resonates with the current mood of the nation , which is steeped in nostalgia , as reflected in the resurgence of 90s-inspired fashion , celebrity comebacks , and retro aesthetics . The trend brings together the luxurious textures and bold colours of the 70s with the playful minimalism of the 90s , resulting in a harmonious and eclectic design aesthetic .
“ Marble , with its timeless appeal , serves as the perfect backdrop for these lively colours . The natural veining and cool tones of the marble provide a sense of luxury and grounding , while the unexpected bursts of colour add energy and personality to the space .
“ Consider a marble vanity set against a backdrop of soft pink tiles such as Blush Tile . This trend celebrates the playful contrast between the refined and the bold , the old and the new , creating spaces that feel both familiar and refreshingly contemporary .
“ Whether you ' re incorporating Wetwall ’ s Linate Terrazzo or Industrial Concrete wall panels , the key is to mix and match , creating a cohesive look that feels distinctly your own .”
