SS25 Bathroom Trends
Bathrooms continue to evolve from traditional spaces to ones that offer calming zones to unwind, places to dress or areas to indulge in a home spa.
These zones not only have to deal with homeowners’ aesthetic demands but often cater to multi-generational use, where design must be balanced with practicality. We take a look at some of the key features of Spring/Summer bathroom trends making a splash in 2025.
Sustainable Design

More than a trend, sustainability justifiably remains a key topic within interior design. For bathrooms, this could mean taking some time to source products that are created using recycled products.
The Recycled Plastics collection from Brighton-based Spark & Bell combines its ethos for repurposing material into eye-catching IP44 rated lights which can be used as both decorative and functional lighting in bathroom spaces.
Earth Tones

Flooring plays a key part in supporting earth-tone themes in bathroom areas. Calming palettes of warm browns, soft greens, and muted oranges can easily be complimented by choosing subtle stone, slate or wood styles.
The key is to keep the flooring subtle, letting the earth tones take centre stage while maintaining a sense of balance and tranquillity.
History Revival
Moduleo Roots Herringbone, Blackjack Oak 22220 from £37 per m2, Moduleo,
Add a touch of castlecore and Renaissance glamour to bathroom spaces by embracing the intricate detail of chevron or herringbone floors. While today’s homes are more modest than historic, sprawling estates, the pattern lends itself well to adding a heritage twist while giving the illusion of space in smaller bathrooms.
Modern Cottage Core
Comfytex collection, Balmani cushion vinyl from £23 per m2, LeoLine
Contemporary cottagecore style in bathrooms blends the nostalgic charm of rural, vintage aesthetics with modern touches to create a cosy, serene retreat.
Consider using nature-inspired textures like wood and stone-effect floors combined with sleek, minimalist fixtures to maintain a fresh, updated feel. Upcycled finishes, such as wood floating shelves, clean-edged contemporary elements, and rustic-inspired accessories will help achieve this look. The result is a warm, inviting space that feels timeless and refreshingly current, evoking a sense of peaceful simplicity and a connection to nature.
Art & Comfort

Bathrooms have evolved significantly away from clinical white lines with accessories playing a key part in adding individual style, interest and comfort.
