A new year brings new possibilities when designing the bathroom of your dreams. As we begin 2025, there are several trends that The Bathroom Showroom are excited to look out for this year. 
From improving decor to optimising room space,  this year is about building on your current design to create a most functional yet spectacular space for everyone in the home to enjoy using. 
Here we look at five trending topics we’re looking forward to seeing more of in 2025, offering you a little inspiration when creating your own bathroom space.
1. Multifunctional Bathroom Wall Panels
With more of us looking for simple yet effective ways to maintain our bathrooms, we expect to see the demand for bathroom wall panels continue to surge in 2025. 
Increasingly popular with homeowners, wall panels for the bathroom offer several key advantages that make them an attractive and practical choice for many bathroom renovations.
  • Easy to Install: A DIY-friendly option saving on labour costs.
  • Water Resistance: Wall panels are waterproof.
  • Low Maintenance: Wall panels have a smooth, seamless surface that’s easy to clean. 
  • Cost-Effectiveness: While the initial cost of wall panels might be slightly higher than budget tiles, they can save money in the long run due to their durability, ease of installation, and low maintenance requirements.
  • Aesthetic Versatility: Wall panels are available in a wide range of colours, textures, and finishes, offering plentiful options to create a stylish and personalised bathroom.
2. Spectacular Baths
With so many of us looking to dedicate more time to self-care and create ‘me time’ in these hectic and often trying times, we’re expecting to see a surge in homeowners falling in love with the bath again in 2025!
Alongside the rising popularity of bath bombs, bath salts, mindfulness practices, and spa-like bathroom features, there are several reasons why more homeowners are rediscovering the joys of their bathtubs:
  • Stress Relief and Relaxation: A warm bath offers a much-needed escape from daily stresses and a chance to unwind, de-stress, and simply relax.
  • Improved Mental Health: Studies have shown that warm baths can improve mood, reduce anxiety, and even help with sleep. 
  • Self-Care: Taking a bath can be a luxurious form of self-care. 
  • Aesthetics: Modern bathtubs are now available in a wide range of stylish designs, making them a desirable feature in any bathroom. 
  • Environmental Benefits: A well-insulated bath can be a more water-efficient way to clean yourself.
3. Natural Neutral Colour Palettes
Rather than bold outlandish statements, in 2025 we’re looking forward to seeing a more timeless selection of bathroom colours. 
As more homeowners look at creating a calm sanctuary in this space, preferred hues this year will centre around nature's neutrals, effortlessly connecting the outdoors with the indoors.
  • Calming and Relaxing Atmosphere: Nature-inspired neutrals like soft greens, earthy browns, and muted blues evoke a sense of tranquillity and relaxation, making the bathroom a peaceful retreat.
  • Versatility: These colours are easy to pair with various styles and materials, from modern to traditional, making them a versatile choice for any bathroom design.
  • Timeless Appeal: Nature-inspired neutrals are classic and timeless, meaning they won't go out of style quickly, making them a good investment for homeowners.
  • Connection to Nature: Bringing the outdoors in through colour can create a sense of connection to nature, which has been shown to have positive effects on mental health and well-being.
4. Multifunctional Showers 
With the increasing cost of living continuing to dominate the news, in 2025 we expect to see more homeowners opting for ultra-efficient showers.
By choosing a shower for the home that is the most energy-efficient and looking to those promoting smart shower technology, homeowners can look at making savings in this space. 
  • Digital Showers: Digital showers allow precise temperature control, reducing the amount of water wasted while waiting for the desired temperature, saving both water and energy.
  • Electric Showers: These heat water on demand, reducing standby heat loss compared to tank-based systems, leading to lower energy bills.
  • Low-Flow Showerheads: These showerheads use less water while maintaining a comfortable flow, reducing your water bills.
  • Aerating Showerheads: These mix air with water, creating a fuller feel while using less water, further decreasing your water consumption.
  • Timers: Setting a timer for your showers can encourage shorter, more efficient showers, reducing both water and energy consumption.
5. Improved Storage
Finally, with more of us looking to create and promote a functional and hygienic space that enhances daily living, bathroom storage has never been more important. 
In 2025, we’re excited to see more homeowners looking at both clever and stylish bathroom storage solutions when designing that dream bathroom space. 
  •  Increased Functionality: Efficient storage is crucial for keeping the space organised and functional. Clutter can make a small bathroom feel cramped and overwhelming.
  • Enhanced Aesthetics: Well-designed storage solutions can significantly improve the aesthetics of a bathroom. 
  • Improved Hygiene: Adequate storage helps keep toiletries, linens, and other items organised and off the countertops and floors, reducing the risk of contamination and making cleaning easier.
  • Personalisation: Storage options allow homeowners to personalise their bathrooms. Whether it's a custom vanity with built-in drawers or a stylish shelving unit, storage solutions can reflect individual preferences and create a more enjoyable space.
