intriguing forms inviting wellness comfort

Materials with character and texture will set the tone. Dutch Cocoon understands this better than most. Our favourite? The Desert Oasis villa in Mexico, where indoors and outdoors meld together as one – featuring a massive Tulum bath as a sculptural centrepiece between cacti and lime-white walls. We can’t stop looking at the Maison Collection’s generous, free-standing bathtub – designed by Tim Derhaag. His signature look? Subtle forms, tactile materials and a serene design language. Think natural stone, concrete, Solid Surface® and brushed stainless steel. Subtle, brushed stainless steel taps from the John Pawson collection, a stone-recessed drain and a spacious shower corner with rain showerhead are another path to a natural, understated experience. No wellness clichés here. The space simply feels like a breath of fresh air. And wherever trend for deep baths and sculptural tubs offers comfort, you’ll find the design narrative more deeply ingrained.

Mimalism

Minimalism continues to score in 2025 as a trend in the bathroom: no fuss, just tranquillity. Think natural materials like marble and wood, clever details such as the Piano Coat Rack by Patrick Séha for the Belgian brand Per/Use and geometries that catch the light at Grohe. The effect? A room with a timeless and luxurious design. AXOR Citterio takes it to the next level with taps that celebrate water as a precious commodity. Subtle in form, grand in effect—for all who seek beauty through simplicity.

Terracotta does it better

For many, the bathroom is a place of refuge. So why not choose a rich colour like terracotta to transport you away from the hectic pace of everday life? On our radar: the Dekton Ukiyo collection by Cosentino — a collaboration with Claudia Afshar. Their Umber terracotta design with grooved textures breaks with conventional bathroom aesthetics, giving this earthy hue a tangible dimension.

Luxury maximalism

Luxurious maximalism is a trend that fondly sets minimalism aside, before exuberantly flourishing across this luxurious bathroom. Hotel Creative drew inspiration from Freddie Mercury’s Kensington bathroom to create a space that sumptuously flirts with decadence. Taking centre stage is the all-brass Usk bath by Drummonds, strategically positioned between two stately sliding windows. The free-standing Thurso shower enhances this theatrical mise-en-scène, while the double Locky washbasin with Arabescato marble floats on elegant brass legs. The Derwent lighting and mirrors create perfect symmetry. What sets this space apart is the layering of detail: the carefully applied St. Laurent wall covering by Gournay in aged gold, the 23-carat gold leaf adorning the ceiling, and the nuanced herringbone oak floor that provides warmth and, above all, a characterful counterbalance to this refined extravagance. This is a bathroom that doesn’t murmur, but rather belts out: “Don’t stop me now!”

Bathroom lighting can occasionally provide the perfect finishing touch while also enhancing your space in an instant. Consider selecting a sculptural floor lamp or opt for the return of vintage-inspired designs, featuring playful silhouettes and frosted glass fixtures for a soft, soothing atmosphere. Double fixtures that also serve as attractive art objects, are another excellent choice – regardless of style or room type.

Double vue

Double mirrors are the canny upgrade for any bathroom design in 2025. They create visual balance, reflect daylight more intensely and make compact spaces appear larger. No more morning stress: with two mirrors, your morning routine will be much smoother and more practical. They bring peace and symmetry to the interior, with popular round and oval shapes softening the clean lines in a bathroom to create an elegant look. Looking for that extra touch? Dare to choose a mirror finish with subtle LED lighting or smart features, to combine style, atmosphere and functionality.

Mix & match

From playful geometry to a grand marble effect: in 2025 tiles will be the crown jewels of your bathroom. Think deep blues and greens and a wide variety of earthy colours. Choose tiles with surprising textures: grooves, hand-shaped edges and matte finishes add character without being overwhelming. Be bold and brave: mix and match for character, from the ceiling to the walls and the floor. Geometric patterns and glossy finishes provide instant allure.

Sogno naturale

Natural stone remains a firm favourite in the bathroom: pure, timeless and strikingly luxurious. Belgian natural stone connoisseur Potier Stone takes stone to the next level with the XQUISE finish, a proprietary innovation that makes porous marble stain resistant without compromising its natural beauty. Ideal for showers and bathrooms where the material extends from floor to wall. Potier Stone guides you from structural work to the finishing touches – including drainage, gradients and waterproofing. By Cocoon similarly embraces natural stone in its most refined form: the John Pawson collection combines marine-grade stainless steel with baths and washbasins in solid stone. Every design – from the tapered shapes to the perfect symmetry – exudes Pawsons characteristic simplicity and tranquillity. Minimalism, but with maximum impact.

Goodbye to individual bathroom elements. What’s the new trend? Bathroom designs with harmony as the high card. VOLA’s flexible system delivers seamless integration of each component – truly uniting aesthetics and functionality. VOLA’s extensive colour palette and professional finishes create a spatial unity to match any style and personality. CEA Design and Ashe Leandro lean into this theme with their complementary designs.
