EMBRACING AUTUMN:
SEASONAL STYLE FOR YOUR BATHROOM
WITH A RIPPLES BATHROOM DESIGN SPECIALIST
THREE EASY WAYS TO GET YOUR BATHROOM AUTUMN-READY
1. Switch to seasonal textiles- Trade lightweight towels for thick, fluffy ones in rich autumnal shades.
2. Warm it up underfoot- A soft, deep-pile bath mat( or discreet underfloor heating if you’ re updating your space) makes chilly mornings a little kinder.
There’ s something about the shift into autumn that makes us want to retreat indoors and savour the comforts of home. As the evenings draw in and the mornings turn crisp, it’ s the perfect time to bring a little seasonal warmth into your bathroom.
Here, Jo, Senior Designer at Ripples London, shares this year’ s autumn / winter interiors trends- all about grounding colours, tactile finishes and lighting that makes you want to linger just that little bit longer.
THIS SEASON’ S BATHROOM TRENDS
Earthy, comforting colours Rich greens, warm terracottas and deep, chocolatey browns are having their moment. These shades wrap a room in warmth, making them perfect for cosy autumn nights. Pair them with natural stone, wood accents or brushed brass to keep the look timeless.
Texture you can feel This season is all about materials that are just as satisfying to touch as they are to look at- think softly honed stone, fluted timber, woven baskets and matte finishes. In the bathroom, it might be a textured vanity, patterned wall tiles or just a beautiful storage piece that adds depth to the space.
Lighting that sets the mood Bright, overhead lighting is out. Instead, think layers- wall lights for a gentle glow, warm LEDs under a vanity, and maybe even a dimmer so you can create a spa-like atmosphere for long autumn soaks.
3. Layer your lighting- Add a small table lamp to a countertop or shelf for an unexpected, cosy glow. Paired with wall sconces or under-vanity LEDs, it creates a warm, spa-like mood.
A few small changes can make your bathroom feel like the cosiest room in the house this season. After all, when the nights get longer, there’ s nothing better than sinking into a warm bath, surrounded by soft light and a hint of autumn in the air.
