Popular Bathroom Ideas
If your bathroom is in need of an update, whether that's a total overhaul or a quick refresh, perusing bathroom trends is a good place to start. Trends may sound quite temporary like they will come and go, but while some of the bolder more quirky trends might not have longevity, you'll often find trends quickly turn to classic, timeless looks. Plus, we'll bring you trends that might be big for 2022 but they will remain timeless for years.
Whatever your style – whether you're after modern bathroom ideas for a totally new on-trend design or just want advice on what tiles are on trend for a quick update – we've got it covered.
What's trending in bathrooms for 2022?
'Homeowners have become increasingly brave in their bathroom choices,' reports Hayley Robson of Day True Architectural Interiors. 'Tiles in interesting tessellating shapes or with pattern and colour such as fish scale, diamond or Popham tiles, continue to be popular, especially when paired with special finishes of brassware such as PVD coatings and matt colour to ensure maximum impact. People want to be different and bespoke touches like reclaimed pieces, statement mirrors and coloured ceramics help them do that.'
Louise Ashdown, head of design at West One Bathrooms agrees, 'We have spent years eradicating colour from our bathrooms but now people are embracing it. Coloured ceramics are making a big comeback, for statement basins, shower trays that can seamlessly match floor tiles and even glossy black pans for the ever-popular black tap bathrooms.'
Although colour is key to creating a personal space, fans of natural and monochrome interiors need not fear thanks to an emerging trend coined Japandi, defined by a combination of minimal Japanese style and simple Scandinavian accents. Think clean lines, a calming colour palette and cool matt surfaces for a softer vibe. 'Minimal natural styles are perfect for the Japandi look, particularly wood, pebbles, stone and lots of texture,' says Helen Jones, designer at Ripples Bathrooms.
1. Raw and natural textures

Natural, unrefined finishes offer respite from the hard, cold surfaces commonly found in the bathroom – not to mention the hard, cold reality of life beyond the bathroom door.
Wood is an obvious go-to. Select darker timbers with an element of history evidenced in a vintage stain or rough-sawn surface. Faking it with wood-look porcelain tiles can be equally as effective, provided there's a textural finish to recreate the tactility factor.
2. Green marble

Marble has long reigned as the most luxurious material to use in a bathroom, and of course it's always going to be on-trend. However, as we all become bolder in every room of our homes, marble has moved from its common grey and white scheme to a plethora of more usual shades. Pink, blue and brown are all available hues but it's green marble that seems to be getting the most attention.
Pair this cool tone with brass fittings to add warmth (or opt for black for a more striking look) and other bring-in stones to layer up those natural patterns and textures.
3. Fluted finishes

Texture always comes into the trends of living rooms and bedrooms, but this want for unusual 3D finishes and tactile materials is coming into bathrooms too. And the bathroom trend for fluted surfaces is a lovely subtle way to bring in those unexpected textures. Opt for a fluted vanity cabinet, fluted glass shower panels, or, as can be seen in this grey bathroom idea, go for a fluted marble splashback or create a similar look with fluted tiles.
4. Bathroom wallpaper

Bathroom wallpaper ideas have really been gaining traction this year and while they were once reserved for the less soggy areas of the bathroom, they are now being used above sinks, behind baths and even in showers. Waterproof wallpaper has been around for a while but it was always quote limiting when it came to patterns, now however the advent of new materials and printing techniques means you can easily switch out tiles for a quirky print instead.
5. Toasty terracotta tiles

For years there's been a slow but steady shift away from the sleek, clean, verging on clinical approach that was used in so much of bathroom design and towards choosing a warmer, cozier, more cocooning scheme. It's no surprise then that terracotta tiles in rusty orange hues are on-trend for 2022, switching classic white for something toastier and traditionally reserved for living rooms or bedrooms.
Give these firery shades a contemporary feel by pairing them with minimalist hardware or up the rustic farmhouse feel with wooden accents and traditional fixtures.
6. Soft textiles

Textiles often aren't a focus in bathrooms, when it comes to window treatments, simple roller blinds or shutters are usually the go-to. However, bathroom curtains and blousy fabric blinds and a big trend this year as again there's that shift to make bathrooms, softer more living room-like spaces.
Of course, practicalities still have to come first in bathrooms so rather than long heavy curtains that pool around the floor, opt for something soft, floaty, and sheer that still adds texture but doesn't feel too heavy or dramatic for a bathroom.
7. Statement lighting

And again, usually, bathroom lighting ideas are a mostly practical part of bathroom design which spotlights being the most popular choice. But for 2022 it's all about making more of a focal point of lighting. Why shouldn't a chandelier hang in a bathroom? Just be sure to think safety first, a pendant light should hang around 6 feet above the floor, and don't position a low hanging light close to a water source unless it has ingress protection or IP-rated fittings that are sufficient enough.
8. Vintage vibes

Classic blue and white tile designs celebrate the beauty of European ceramics. This generously proportioned bathroom has all the glamour and faded grandeur of an Italian palazzo. Many manufacturers now offer 'aged' ceramics for a vintage look; or if it's authenticity you're after, try tracking down original ceramics from specialist dealers – and browse through our bathroom tile ideas gallery.
9. Top-to-toe Terrazzo

Terrazzo is back and it's bigger than ever. Quite literally. While in the past for years, subtle designs with smaller chips of stone have been popular, we are seeing a rise in bolder patterns with bigger chips and brighter colors.
Dzek's trailblazing terrazzo arguably led the way in the material's current revival. While others may opt for smaller chips of stone, Dzek didn't hold back and the bold pattern of of its Marmoreal tiles packs a punch in this L.A. bathroom. Terrazzo tiles are an easy way to get this distinctive look without the hassle of the original application (a cement-type material poured on-site with chips mixed in).
10. Graphic Lines

Serene yet sexy, dusky pinks and 3D monochrome features transform this chic Parisian bathroom into a sanctuary. Designed by New York-based Crosby Studios, it has strong geometric shapes that ooze a post-modern vibe. Versatile black-and-white bathroom products can be mixed with almost any other colours, while painting the back wall a lighter shade creates a sense of depth and perspective.
11. Japandi style

An amalgamation of Japanese minimalism and Scandi cool, Japandi has been around for a while but has soared in popularity this year, likely due to its calming zen vibes.
The bathroom design team from Victorian Plumbing advise, 'When it comes to choosing materials, Japandi looks to nature for inspiration. Bamboo and rattan furniture, linen soft furnishing, and accessories with a natural finish will achieve the perfect foundation, whilst Japanese features such as tatami mats and origami shades complete the look. Try using a mix of wood tones and begin to incorporate pieces with both curved and straight lines to add a unique sense of texture to the bathroom.'
12. Sherbet shades

This past year has seen a surge in pink bathrooms. Sherbet hues – think pastels with a zingy twist – evoke an era of glitz and hedonism.
'Dial back to Miami in the Thirties and Palm Springs in the Fifties – big ice cream-coloured convertibles, glamorous abodes and pool parties,' says Louise Ashdown, head of design at West One Bathrooms. 'The true beauty of sherbet shades is that they work exceptionally well with the still- trending metallic brassware we've all fallen hard for – try mixing strawberry pink with matt gold taps. The effect is stunning and will lift your bathroom to new heights.'

No longer relegated to the stylearchives, gold is back and taking a new direction that provides a subtler way to explore your glam side in the bathroom. One simple way to introduce gold with restraint is to build it up gradually. Start with hard-wired fittings, perhaps a basin tap or light fixture, then layer on the accessories if it's not quite hitting the right note. Remember, you're seeking to elevate pared-back materials, rather than steal the show.
14. Dark decor

Just like that LBD in your wardrobe, a black bathroom can be updated and refreshed to ensure tiring of the look is never an option. For 2022, we're not holding back – go all black, or go home. It's not an approach for the faint-hearted, but it is guaranteed to impress. Going top-to-toe black needn't be as severe as you might imagine. Work in a textural element – the latest matt black tiles and sanitaryware take their leads from the motor industry and possess a velvety-soft appeal. For glinting colour, introduce warm metals or opalescent tiles.
15. Crittall screens

Crittall screens, doors and windows have seen a huge resurgence in recent years. Popular in the Art Deco era of the late 1800s and early 1900s, it's made a strong comeback and has now starting seeping into bathrooms too. Crittall-style room dividers and shower enclosures add a striking retro vibe to a space that suits all styles from industrial to rustic.
