Featuring Playful Nostalgia and Japanese Nouveau, Bathroom Brands Group shares aesthetic inspiration for 2025.

As we kick off 2025, Bathroom Brands Group shares the key aesthetics it expects will dominate washroom interiors over the coming 12-months.

We sat down with Jorge Hernandez, Bathroom Brands Group's head of design to reflect on how, as bathroom spaces have evolved into multifunctional havens, style and innovation meet in the form of a range of striking combinations.  

Japandi Nouveau

Balancing Japanese minimalism with Scandinavian functionality, Japandi Noaveau presents a refined evolution of the 'Japandi' style, whilst introducing richer, and more expressive elements.

Echoes of natural motifs, soothing neutral palettes, and curved shapes contribute towards a truly zen design aesthetic, whilst conveying a sense of craft through textured finishes, artisanal details, and layered materials.

Eco Lux

Responding to today’s heightened focus on wellness, the Eco Lux trend focuses on transforming bathrooms into tranquil, spa-like retreats.

Combining lush greenery, earthy colour palettes, and calming design elements, these spaces seek to foster relaxation and rejuvenation.

Soft to the touch textures, curved forms, and ambient lighting further enhance this serene atmosphere, turning bathrooms into sanctuaries. Eco Lux creates environments where mind and body can unwind completely.

Playful Nostalgia

Affectionately calling back to previous eras, the playful nostalgia trend is all about injecting design inspiration from the past.

Featuring colourful basins, retro-inspired vanity units, and clawfoot bathtubs in customisable finishes, Burlington’s Arts and Crafts-inspired collection, Guild, perfectly encapsulates the playful nostalgia trend, drawing on design elements from the early 20th Century.

With retro flair meeting modern functionality, this theme invites you to infuse personality into a space, creating a bathroom that feels positively a part of the past, present and future.

Textured Finishes

Key to adding depth and dynamism to bathrooms, Textured Finishes is a noteworthy design expression for 2025.

Materials such as ribbed wood or stone surfaces remain popular, evoking a sense of warmth and transforming bathrooms into immersive, sensory environments that go beyond mere functionality.

Visual texture enhances these finishes, adding layers of detail through patterns - like geometric or organic motifs - and creating a sense of movement and flow within the room.

Bold Accents

In 2025, vibrant colours, intriguing lighting, and striking fixtures will make a significant visual impact, shifting the bathroom from a purely functional area to a space reflective of individuality.

Infusing the room with drama and modernity, these design choices empower specifiers to imbue style into every detail.
