Hottest Bathroom Trends 2025

Trends come and go, but that doesn't mean we can't indulge in what is making us excited for 2025. We've compiled five of our favourite trends we believe will make any bathroom more exciting.

1. Spa-Like & Wellness Centric Features

In 2025, the bathroom is no longer just a functional space—it’s becoming a personal sanctuary centered around wellness and relaxation. Homeowners are embracing spa-inspired design elements that turn everyday routines into luxurious rituals.

Think soothing rainfall shower-heads that replicate the calming effect of a waterfall, steam showers that help melt away the stress of the day, and advanced temperature controls that let you customise your ideal comfort level.

Bathtubs are also getting a major upgrade. Deep soaking tubs and sculptural freestanding bathtubs are rising in popularity, offering not only a serene soaking experience but also serving as elegant focal points within the space.

As more people seek comfort and tranquility at home, these wellness-focused features, along with additions like heated towel racks are becoming essential elements in the modern bathroom.

Pro Tip: Adding spa-like features to your bathroom enhances both luxury and well-being. So consider incorporating aromatherapy and colour therapy to boost mood and energy, creating a retreat that nurtures both body and mind. Wellness features go beyond showers and lighting. Add heated towel racks for comfort or a bidet for better hygiene, creating a bathroom that’s both stylish and health-focused.

2. Sustainable Materials

Sustainability is no longer just a trend, it’s a necessity, and in 2025, it’s taking center stage in bathroom design. Homeowners are becoming more eco-conscious, and the shift toward environmentally friendly materials is driving both innovation and style.

Expect to see bathrooms featuring renewable and recycled materials such as bamboo, reclaimed wood, cork flooring, recycled glass, and natural stone. These choices not only reduce environmental impact but also bring warmth, texture, and character to the space.

Water-saving features are also gaining traction, with low-flow toilets, water-efficient faucets, and smart fixtures becoming must-haves. Eco-friendly doesn’t mean compromising on style, in fact, these sustainable elements add a unique and thoughtful aesthetic that aligns beautifully with modern, mindful living.

Pro Tip: Choose materials that strike the perfect balance between style and sustainability. Reclaimed wood, recycled glass, and other eco-friendly options not only reduce your environmental footprint but also add rich texture and character to your bathroom design.

3. Biophilic Design: Bringing the Outdoors In

“Biophilic” design stems from our innate human desire to connect with nature and living things, a connection that’s becoming increasingly important in the spaces where we live and unwind. 

In 2025, this nature-inspired approach is gaining momentum in bathroom design, blending the soothing elements of the outdoors with everyday wellness.

Biophilic bathrooms embrace natural elements like lush greenery, abundant natural light, and gentle water features to create a serene, spa-like atmosphere. Houseplants not only elevate the visual appeal but also improve air quality and promote calm. Think large windows, skylights, or even living walls to let in the sunshine, while indoor fountains or trickling water features enhance the overall sense of tranquility.

Pro Tip: Complement the biophilic look with natural materials like wood and stone. Choose sustainably sourced finishes, and you’ll effortlessly combine this nature-inspired trend with eco-conscious design.

4. Clever Smart Lighting

In 2025, lighting in the bathroom is getting a high-tech glow-up. No longer just a functional necessity, lighting has become a powerful design tool and smart technology is leading the charge. Today’s bathrooms blend style, convenience, and innovation with features that elevate both form and function.

Accent lighting, like under-cabinet LEDs or chic pendant lights, adds warmth and depth, while statement fixtures and backlit mirrors serve as both art and illumination. Smart lighting systems allow users to control brightness, colour temperature, and ambiance with just a tap or voice command, creating a personalised experience that shifts from energising morning routines to calming nighttime rituals.

Pro Tip: If you’re just starting out with smart tech, begin with small additions like smart bulbs or thermostats. You can always build up to a fully connected bathroom that works beautifully and efficiently with your lifestyle.

5. Clever Storage Designs

5. Clever Storage Designs

From energizing morning routines to winding down at night, the bathroom plays a central role in our daily lives and there’s nothing more frustrating than a space overrun with clutter. In 2025, smart storage solutions are taking the spotlight, helping to keep bathrooms calm, organised, and effortlessly functional.

Whether you’re working with a compact ensuite or a spacious master bath, the key is to maximise every inch. Built-in shelving, recessed cabinets, and multi-purpose vanities are becoming go-to options for keeping essentials out of sight but close at hand. A well-organised bathroom not only reduces visual clutter but also restores a sense of order and calm, exactly what this space should offer.

Pro Tip: Keep your most-used items in easy-to-reach spots and store less frequently used products in higher or lower areas that require a bit more effort. It’s a small shift that can make a big difference in your daily flow.

Anakie Bathroom & Ensuite Renovation Testimonial

I was overwhelmed by the choice of tiles Walkers had to offer, but the design team helped me work through the process of finding the best combination of tiles and where to put them in the bathroom.

I purchased all my bathroom and ensuite tiles and bath ware from Walkers. I had an idea of what I wanted but was completely overwhelmed by the choice of tiles and also of where to actually put the tiles in the bathroom. 

I worked with Richelle and had the whole decision made in an hour. I also worked with Tracey for all the bath ware and her knowledge was second to none. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to shop at Walkers.

Warehouse Bathroom Renovation Testimonial

Turning part of a warehouse storage room into a bathroom and walk-in-robe with limited space is exactly what this client has completed.

The warehouse is built from precast concrete walls which are beautiful in their own right, particularly when you butt a white plaster wall next them, highlighting the raw nature of the material. When you add warm timber to the equation then the projects starts to look very promising.

One element, and a very important element was missing and this was the tile. A trip to Walkers and a helping hand from Tracey in the Design Centre put me on the right path. Once I explained I had a concrete feature wall and showed her a few photos on my phone we were off into the great chasm of tile options. I stipulated two things, I wanted a 600 x 600mm size tile and I wanted it to be darker than the concrete wall.

Tracey was able to show me a number of options and we very quickly narrowed down to three tile options. One in particular had a copper type stone highlight which we both thought would work well with my already purchased copper coloured hand wash dispenser, bin and toilet brush holder.

Tracey was kind enough to allow me to take three tile samples to the warehouse and when I laid them down next to the concrete wall and timber I knew I had a winner. We went with the Aggregate Dark Grey 600x600mm Smooth Grip. The process was a lot quicker and easier than I thought, made all the more enjoyable by Tracey’s knowledge and help.
