Melbourne’s Hottest Bathroom Design Ideas for 2025 (That Aren’t Overdone)
If you’ve seen one bathroom on Instagram, you’ve seen them all — white-on-white, penny round tiles, and fake ferns in every corner.
But Melbourne renovators in 2025 are getting bold. They're designing smarter, not louder. Here's what’s new — and worth your attention.
1. Microcement Over Tiles
Sleek. Seamless. Spa-like. Microcement is taking over Melbourne bathrooms — replacing traditional tiles with a smooth, waterproof surface that wraps floors and walls in a modern matte finish.
2. Fluted Finishes for Depth
Fluted timber vanities, ribbed shower screens, and grooved tile patterns are popping up across high-end builds. It’s texture without chaos — subtle enough for small bathrooms, yet rich enough to feel custom.
3. Coloured Tapware & Statement Basins
Matte bronze taps. Powder blue basins. Olive green mixers. These aren’t gimmicks — they’re tasteful design punches giving bathrooms real identity. In 2025, personality > playing it safe.
4. Better Lighting Placement
LEDs under the vanity. Wall lights behind the mirror. Strip lighting inside the shower niche. Great lighting is no longer just overhead — it’s layered, moody, and intentional.
5. Zoned Layouts That Flow
We’re breaking the “everything-on-one-wall” layout. Think: floating vanity on one side, wet area at the back, toilet tucked discreetly to the side. These smart zones make mornings easier and spaces feel bigger.
6. Bold Walls, Subtle Floors
Let your feature wall do the talking — not your floor. In 2025, Melbourne homeowners are pairing simple flooring with dramatic tiles, soft green paint, or even waterproof wallpaper up top.
