Hot bathroom trends for 2025

Bringing the outdoors in continues to resonate, especially in a space that’s often used for relaxation and quiet moments. Biophilic design, where nature meets interiors, is growing in popularity and bathrooms are the perfect canvas. You might choose to introduce a few leafy green plants, woven textures and wood finishes, or go bolder with earthy tiles and natural palettes.

“For radiators, consider finishes like brushed brass, matte black or brushed nickel,” says Nick Duggan, MD of The Radiator Centre. “They offer a softer, more grounded alternative to high-shine chrome and pair beautifully with natural textures like stone or wood. Vertical panel radiators in shades such as clay, sage green or off white can also echo the organic feel of the room while providing a clean, calming aesthetic.”

The hybrid of Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian warmth, known as Japandi, shows no sign of slowing. With its emphasis on tranquillity and function, this look is ideal for bathrooms. Streamlined furniture, concealed storage, soft wood tones and tactile stone all help create a peaceful retreat.

“Some of the latest designer radiators offer textures that mimic stone, slate or even concrete.” says Nick. “They’re a natural fit for this pared back style, blending seamlessly into the aesthetic while offering reliable warmth.”

After years of pared-back interiors, 2025 is embracing colour, pattern, and personality. In the bathroom, that means everything from checkerboard floors to deep jewel tones, tactile textures and expressive tiles. It’s about making a statement and enjoying the creativity of it all.

Double vanity units are increasingly popular, especially in shared bathrooms, offering style and convenience in equal measure. Whether you’re rushing through the morning routine or winding down with a nighttime skincare ritual, they offer space, storage and a sense of calm order.

“Larger towel rails are ideal for these setups,” suggests Nick. “They provide space for two sets of towels while contributing to the feeling of luxury. For a cohesive finish, look for a radiator that reflects the colour or material of your vanity unit or bathroom hardware.”

No longer a design faux pas, mixed metal finishes are now a confident style statement. Combining brass with black, chrome with copper, it’s all about creating contrast with intention. The result is a layered, curated look that feels both timeless and modern.

“A towel rail in a complementary metallic finish can really pull the look together,” says Nick. “The key is balance, make sure each metal appears more than once throughout the space, so everything feels considered and cohesive.”

Don’t think you need a huge bathroom to make the most of these trends. Cloakrooms and smaller bathrooms are just as suited to high design and arguably even more fun to experiment with.

“Small bathrooms and even a cloakroom can maximise these trends,” says Nick. “And when it comes to radiators, whether it’s a compact space or a master ensuite, the same style can be made to fit. Cloakrooms in particular are a great place to introduce a quirky radiator, something unexpected that adds a pop of personality .”
