Grange Design, leading UK-based designers, manufacturers and specialist distributors for the bathroom industry, reveals the latest style trends influencing the most desirable cloakrooms, bathrooms and shower rooms in 2025.
Clive Griffiths, Manager at Grange Design explains, “Statement hardware continues to set the tone in today’s most popular design schemes, with bathrooms said to be the most commonly renovated interior space in 2024 according to the latest Houzz & Home Study. Considered the most frequently used room in the home which we start and finish the day in, the bathroom has become somewhat of a personal retreat and design style is now the motivating factor behind product selection, material choice, and overall aesthetics.”
Covering styles, designs, and colours, please find the latest bathroom trends in 2025 from Grange Design below:
BASIN: Well-considered wash zones are top priority in 2025, as the basin area becomes a vital resource in the bathroom looking to premium taps that enhance water flow, personal hygiene and overall look. Working in partnership with all styles of sanitaryware, the most popular taps right now are precision engineered with a host of original design features across the neck, spout and handles for a truly custom look. Finish is also a key component with Chrome remaining the most sought-after finish in the classic and industrial bathroom space, and Matt Black holding steady in more contemporary schemes able to coordinate with modern light fittings, statement mirrors, and designer storage.
Thankfully, the rise of the beauty zone has increased the desire for wall mounted basin taps and this has led to a comprehensive range of models that will suit all types of interior design style. Deck mounted designs remain popular too, however the desire to keep the washbasin clear from clutter has shown that monobloc basin mixers with single lever control are the preferred choice for anyone mounting directly on the surface of the basin. Whereas tall mono basin mixers have become a great alternative to wall mounted and deck mounted taps, when you want the option to mount directly on the surface of your countertop so both basin and tap are standalone, yet beautifully aligned.
In terms of the latest washbowls, then white ceramic basins remain a staple choice with the traditional bathroom seeking Heritage-style designs with defining features and a smooth glaze, and more modern schemes opting for circular, square and rectangular countertop basins in a range of neutral colours with matt texture.
BATH: Strong and elegantly styled bathtubs are in high demand this year, with tailored brassware ensuring a luxurious bathing experience that offers modern functionality and strong sense of self. Look out for floor mounted bath taps if you’re working with a freestanding roll top bath or modern-style soaking tub, as this not only influences the functionality of your bathroom but also its aesthetic appeal. Alternatively, industrial-style deck mounted bath/shower mixers have become extremely popular in bathrooms where space is limited as they bring showering into the bathroom where there isn’t enough floor space for a separate enclosure or overhead water supply.
SHOWER: Style and efficiency are big news in showering this year, as UK homeowners contend with rising water bills rising (Ofwat) and multigenerational households catering to all demographics. As the latest research shows considerable differences in showering habits across each age group, it is energy-efficient and water saving showering solutions like thermostatic valves and eco showerheads, which are the go-to shower upgrade in 2025.
