Bathroom Colour Trends

 

In recent years we have seen a rise in the minimalist aesthetic whilst also seeing the contrasting trend of bolder, statement designs. Minimalism offers clean, sophisticated design opportunities creating tranquil, calming atmospheres. Striking colours create an immersive and characterful experience, with endless possibilities for design, making your space truly unique.

 

 

Neutral Foundations

 

Neutral colours remain a popular palette for many, as they offer a versatile base for all designs. These tones create calming canvases, truly capturing the ambience of spa-like atmospheres. Tones of amber, cream, terracotta, and beige create a timeless base, offering flexibility, easily paired with varying textures, patterns and materials. With a neutral base, interior designers and homeowners alike can adapt spaces with accessories as frequently as they wish without undertaking an entire makeover. Neutrals offer a practical yet beautiful choice for bathroom designs.

 

Pastels

 

Incorporating soft, fresh pastels into your bathrooms is a modern twist being added to bathrooms in 2025. Pastels offer a perfect solution for a flush of colour to a bathroom without overpowering the space. Blush pinks, mint greens, lavenders and powder blues create a calm, fresh and pretty space. Pastels offer a sophistication touch to your bathrooms, creating timeless designs that can be easily paired with other trends and accessories.

 

 

Muddied Tones

 

The experts like Little Greene, Graham and Brown, Pantone, etc have spoken and they are stating the colours of the year are embodying muted, muddied bases. ELLE DÉCOR A-list designer Ghislaine Vinas says, ‘think muddier yellow tones, purples, greens and pinks’. Shades of colour and neutrals that evoke the feel of soft and natural materials. These shades are perfect for creating bathrooms that have character and depth, offering designs that’ll last for years, instead of focusing on fleeting trends.

Ruth Mottershead, creative director at Little Greene believes ‘rich warm colours deliver charming, cocooning, restful spaces’, exactly what we are trying to achieve in our bathrooms. Consider picking whatever colour you love, whether that’s a green, a pink or a red, and choosing a shade that has a muddied undertone to create a softer, timeless finish.

Small Bathroom Colours Trends

Who said small bathrooms must be boring? There are endless possibilities for how to give these small areas their own personality, and ensure they are full of character. Get creative and have fun with your bathroom designs and bring these spaces to life.

 

Bold Colours

Bolder tones are gaining popularity for their ability to give bathrooms character and charm. Deep and moody tones like anthracites, deep blues, dark greens, browns and purples will become an increasingly popular palette of 2025, with the paint colours of the year encompassing these tones. Tiles of these shades are versatile, perfect for completing entire bathrooms to create seamless, dramatic and cosy designs. Feature walls add depth and character to the space, and offer the opportunity to make a focal point within the room. Bold colours in smaller bathrooms or cloakrooms are gaining traction, with designers and homeowners gaining the confidence to transform a limited space into a design statement.

Kate Watson-Smyth, an interiors journalist and founder of Mad about the house comments ‘to make a small room look bigger… is by disguising it, causing a distraction, or simply styling it out’ Bold colours are the perfect way of achieving a ‘distraction’ from the size and different shades can create an illusion of making the room look bigger than it is.
