Dark & Moody Tones: Sophisticated Drama

"Bathrooms in 2025 embrace a dark and moody aesthetic with deep burgundy tones and black tiles, while natural stones make a strong comeback. Statement plumbing and lighting fixtures serve as the jewelry of the space."
— Carly Sanderson, Carly Sanderson Interiors, Victoria

According to Carly Sanderson of Carly Sanderson Interiors, rich, dramatic hues are making a big impact on bathroom design this year.

Moody colours also work wonders in larger bathrooms, drawing attention to key design elements while making the space feel warm and inviting. But beyond aesthetics, this trend is all about versatility—dark tones create a cozy, cocoon-like feel in winter and a cool, relaxing atmosphere in summer.

Arches: A Timeless Architectural Detail

"As an interior designer, I'm seeing arches transition into bathroom spaces in 2025. My studio is incorporating arches into shampoo niches, doorless shower entrances, statement mirrors, and custom millwork details. I love how radial architectural elements soften the typically rigid bathroom environment while adding visual interest and unexpected whimsy."
— Alexis Solomon, Principal Interior Architectural Designer, Mint Freshly Inspired Design

Alexis of Mint Freshly Inspired Design notes that arched details are making a big splash in bathroom design this year. Arches add elegance, flow, and a hint of old-world charm. Inspired by Mediterranean architecture, arches effortlessly draw the eye upward, making spaces feel taller, more open, and beautifully refined.

From recessed niches and shower entrances to statement mirrors and custom vanities, this design element adds a graceful contrast to straight lines and sharp angles.

One of the easiest ways to embrace this trend? Swap out a standard mirror for an arched design. For a modern, organic look, pair a frameless arched mirror with a textured wall treatment—it’s a small change with a big impact.

If you’re ready to go bold, an arched, doorless shower entrance makes for a stunning architectural statement, blending modern and vintage-inspired aesthetics.

Whether subtle or dramatic, arches are a timeless way to add warmth and sophistication to your bathroom.

Green Scene: A Refreshing Pop of Color

"This season, Spring Green takes center stage, offering a vibrant, refreshing energy to your space. With nostalgic influences, modern craftsmanship, and bold, playful hues, it’s all about rejuvenation. Recently, I introduced an Acritec green vessel sink to an ensuite. Stay tuned…"

Spring Green is set to be one of the biggest color trends of 2025, according to Janice from Modhaus. Spring Green brings a fresh, revitalizing feel to bathrooms.

Natural Stone with Vibrant Hues: Luxe and Expressive

The beauty of strong-veined stone lies in its ability to add movement and depth to a space, making each installation feel like a one-of-a-kind piece of art. Paired with minimalist fixtures and warm metallic accents, this trend offers a perfect mix of opulence and modern sophistication.

Look out for stone in deep charcoals, warm earth tones, and crisp whites with striking veining—each adding a timeless yet contemporary feel to the bathroom.

Colour Drenching: All-In on Bold Hues

"We are seeing a lot of color drenching this year. This is a method of painting an entire room in one solid color—walls, baseboards, ceilings, and moldings. It’s a dramatic and confident look that will truly elevate any space."
— Linda Lam, Principal Interior Designer, Quintessential Living Inc.

Color drenching is taking center stage in 2025, according to Linda Lam from Quintessential Living. Color drenching is all about choosing a single hue and carrying it through every element of the space—furniture, wallpaper, tile, and more. This bold, immersive approach creates a seamless, high-impact look that makes a striking statement.
