Beyond their functionality, bathrooms are becoming a design statement in 2025.
In this article, we will explore the trends in bathroom design that you can incorporate into this year’s projects. From stunning and luxurious bathroom features to an organic and earthy color palette, discover the most awe-inspiring trends that will transform a bathroom into a unique experience.
A wellness-centric approach
Wellness and well-being in general will remain a central element in Bathroom design trends for 2025.
In previous years the mention of “wellness” had already heavily increased its appearance in for-sale listing descriptions.
During 2024, tech real-estate marketplace Zillow compiled a list of features to help homes sell faster and at a higher price point. It is no surprise that many of these points included different wellness-related design fixtures.
The self-care trend is here to stay and has firmly established itself as a key element in modern residential bathroom design, fueled by renewed global attention to well-being.
The bathroom has finally emancipated beyond its functionality, becoming a personal retreat to promote well-being, a space dedicated to spa-grade relaxation.
This means that we will be seeing even more Spa-like fixtures, show-stopping walk-in showers, and standalone bathtubs this year.
Biophilic design will also be a central element when designing a bathroom: natural light or carefully placed adjustable lighting will promote the overall soothing atmosphere, paired with lots of green plants for improved air quality.
Spacious deep soak bathtubs will include luxurious materials and finishes. Walk-in showers will feature multiple performance options, including rainfall, waterfall, and mist settings.
Wet rooms will also be a prominent feature, a single waterproof space hosting a shower and a bathtub with no traditional walls, to maximize the space and enhance the overall luxurious and spa-like aesthetic.
Earthy tones and 3D textures for bathroom design
In 2025, we are witnessing the resurgence of warm brown tones in bathroom design.
Earthy colors and dusty, natural shades will find their way onto the bathroom walls, floors, and decor in 2025.
This color spectrum will include all the shades naturally occurring in the elements. The deep hues of an earthy palette used on the paneling and flooring will create a luxurious grounded environment with a natural welcoming feel, channeling a natural sanctuary for body and mind.
Due to their versatility, these natural earthy tones seamlessly complement a wide range of design aesthetics, serving as the perfect canvas for different design styles.
The brown, earthy tones will be paired with textured surfaces, another growing feature for bathroom tiles, thanks to the latest innovations in 3D surface design, offering a wide range of possibilities.
Introducing a texture palette into the design project will be as important as a color palette to define the character of a space, introducing an ulterior visual and tactile accent.
Different materials and 3D textures can be mixed to provide contrast and design customized patterns.
Large-size slabs and surfaces
Large format tiles are going to remain a popular staple in 2025, for their ability to create a seamless and clean appearance thanks to fewer grout lines separating the flow of the design.
Other than their visual impact, the larger format tiles also provide a more low-maintenance and high-performing result, ideal for bathroom spaces and shower walls, constantly exposed to water and humidity.
Choosing a large slab is also a matter of style preference: it can provide a sleek and modern look to the environment and enhance the overall appearance of the space, making it look airy and luxurious.
This feature, in particular, makes larger formats perfect for revamping a small bathroom.
Big slab surfaces are also widely adaptable and can fit effortlessly into many different styles ranging from the more contemporary and edgy to the classical timeless, to the more traditional designs.
Nexion’s Matt surfaces are the ideal choice to design a bathroom flooring using a large format, for its excellent performances and perfect grip even in humid environments.
