Bathrooms are no longer just plain utility rooms there to serve a purpose, they’re great ways for homeowners to experiment with interior design on a smaller scale and can offer up ways to create a relaxing sanctuary where they can start and end their days.
With spa-like interiors and relaxing neutral textures leading the way in 2025, all the latest bathroom trends heavily emphasise peace and tranquil living. To make sure you’re keeping on top of bathroom interior looks and the latest insights into décor, we guide you through the top trending styles of 2025.
What's “in” for 2025 bathroom décor?
Before we jump into individual trends, let's talk about the overall theme that homeowners are tapping into in 2025. With many of us living fast-paced, busy lifestyles, the overarching theme for bathrooms in 2025 is to carve out a serene space of peace, relaxation and slow living.
Because of this, homeowners want to carve out a space where they can enjoy both morning and night time rituals. They’re turning to soft colours, natural textures, greenery and spa-like qualities for their bathrooms to offer them a peaceful sanctuary - a stark contrast from the busy world around them.
Spa-inspired bathrooms
Bathrooms have slowly been evolving into tranquil sanctuaries over time, with homeowners wanting to promote feelings of relaxation and luxury right in their own homes. This trend focuses on creating a space that’s worth spending time in. A space that is clean, and open and provides that true spa-like experience.
For this trend, a popular choice is neutral colourways and stone textures to create that clean, organic, spa look. A few good examples of this are these Ivory White Marble Tile Wall Panel and Large Grey Concrete Shower Panels. Together they make the perfect base for your spa-inspired bathroom. Topped off with a few decorative sconces, candles and natural wood furniture as well as a nice big bathtub, the pairing of stone and minimal aesthetics helps create a sense of true luxury and relaxation.

Large Grey Concrete Shower Panels - £54.95
Wet rooms
Wet rooms are still as on-brand as ever when it comes to bathroom trends for 2025. This trend often helps to open up a bathroom space, as well as provide a step-free, accessible option. These designs tend to be lighter in nature as the whole point of it is to create the illusion of more space, whereas darker tones can make a room feel constricted.
If you’re looking to implement a ‘wet room’ feature in your bathroom, a great option for PVC panelling is the Premium Large London White Shower Panels. Adding a hint of depth with brick-like designs, the clever use of textures with the London Panels are the ideal, minimal solution for making an open wet room design. They’ll also pair perfectly alongside the glass walls of the wet room to create a clean and modern look.

Natural textures and biophilic bathrooms
Natural textures have grown in popularity alongside spa-like bathrooms. This is because natural, organic looks are often associated with relaxing, luxury lifestyles. Biophilic bathrooms have become particularly popular through 2025, as people are incorporating plants and other organic materials into their interior design, as the minimal colourways help to bring vibrancy to lush greenery.
This trend can include anything from wooden accents to stone floors or textured panelled walls. With natural textures, it’s all about embracing and complimenting natural beauty, and these Walnut Water Resistant Slat Wall Panels are a great way to achieve a natural look. Offering up the perfect backdrop for creating a natural bathroom that will look great behind some bathroom-suitable greenery.
Walnut Water Resistant Slat Wall Panels - £49.99
If wood isn’t your thing, you can try these Vox Vilo Vintage Brick Wall Panels. These lovely textured brick-style PVC panels will give your bathroom a stunning rustic look - acting as the perfect backdrop to build on natural textures and décor. Simply top it off with some plants and bring nature indoors to create a bathroom sanctuary where you can unwind amongst light colour palettes and greenery.

Bathroom statement feature walls
On the contrary to calm and quiet bathroom spaces, another predicted trend for 2025 bathrooms is to show off your fun side! With the growing popularity of bold colours and striking accents, now's the time to show off your artsy side and a bathroom offers a great, small canvas to unleash your imagination. Adding depth and personality to your washrooms, this trend is a great way to embrace your unique artistic flare with a fun feature wall that doesn’t distract from the rest of your home.
If you’re looking for a bold look to reflect your personal style, then a few good examples of eccentric designs are the Premium Large Fresno Shower Panels and the Premium Large Sacramento Shower Panels. Both of these panels offer different vibes but both work perfectly for a statement feature wall and are completely waterproof - making it the perfect panelling solution for a wet room or bathroom space. Left as a standalone feature or paired with coordinating decor, these bathroom panels will draw the attention of anyone who enters your bathroom to create a striking first impression.
We would recommend pairing these bold panels with plain white flooring and adding alternative colour palettes through the use of décor, wall art or bath mats to avoid the room being too overwhelming.
Premium Large Fresno Shower Panels - £74.95
Premium Large Sacramento Shower Panels - £74.95
Janpdi style bathrooms
Japandi is a minimalist interior design that uses Japanese and Scandinavian principles to create a clean and natural look. Japandi-style bathrooms are similar to those of spa-like bathrooms, as they’re created to promote peace, tranquillity and easy living.
An example of Japandi-style panels is these Large Beige Slate Shower Panels. The neutral tones are perfect for the “simple living” life that Japandi promotes. It also provides soft marble textures for a more natural feeling bathroom. Pair this with clever space-saving solutions, clean lines and fixtures for a full minimalistic look and nail comfort and contentment with Japandi living.

Creating a contrasting bathroom
Another predicted trend that’s been on the rise in modern interior decor is contrast. Having black walls in your bathroom with white or brass accents creates a dramatic look without feeling too overwhelming.
Take these Abstract Black Wall Panels or these Vox Modern Anthracite Large Tile Wall Panels and complement their dark designs with light accents and furnishings for a bold bathroom look. Often contrasting looks can create a sense of cleanliness with their sharp lines and smooth edges. They’re perfect for any modern home.
Abstract Black Wall Panels - £12.80
Vox Modern Anthracite Large Tile - £54.46
