We’ve covered the colours, patterns, and kitchens coming in 2026, but the bathroom has its own thing going on. These are the trends to watch.
1) Vintage tiles
Paired with playful colours, unique layouts, and contemporary fixtures and finesse, vintage tiles strike the perfect balance between timeless design and personalised style, making them a perfect choice for 2026.
2) Spa-like
It’s the trend that keeps on coming. There’s something about curating serenity in the bathroom that makes spa-like design a go to year on year. Mix calming colours, natural materials, and fresh lighting to create your own oasis.
3) Tone on tone pattern
Blending previous trends for maximalism and colour drenching, 2026’s tone on tone pattern maintains the boldness of design whilst paring it back with complementary colours.
4) Statement baths
Unique silhouettes, materials, colours, and textures are making baths the statement centrepiece for 2026. Fabulous freestanding pieces drive the design of a space, elevate a tired room, or add the perfect pop of colour without overwhelming the interior.
5) Earth tone
Rich and comforting, earth tones wrap bathrooms in a cosy hug, bringing bold drama with layers of character. Mix in a few organic textures and warm metals for a harmonious look full of personality.
