Top Bathroom Design Trends for 2025: What Melbourne Homeowners Are Choosing Now
What’s Trending in Bathroom Design for 2025
If you’re planning a bathroom renovation in 2025, you’ve picked the perfect time. Design trends this year are practical, calming, and made to last — which means your investment looks great and holds value.
Here’s what Melbourne homeowners are asking for:
1. Natural Materials Are In
Stone-look tiles, timber vanities, brushed nickel tapware — all giving bathrooms a warm, grounded feel. You’ll see less gloss, more texture.
2. Fluted Finishes
From vanities to shower screens, vertical fluting is everywhere. It adds softness, movement, and subtle visual interest — especially in compact bathrooms.
3. Calming Colour Palettes
Soft neutrals like sand, clay, warm greys and sage greens are replacing the harsh whites and blacks of years past. Think spa vibes over showy contrast.
4. Smart Storage That Doesn’t Look Like Storage
Recessed shelves, mirrored cabinets, built-in niches — all elegantly integrated so your bathroom feels clean and uncluttered.
5. Showers Steal the Spotlight
Walk-in showers with full glass panels and linear drains are now the hero. Many homeowners are ditching the bathtub entirely to maximise space and flow.
6. Wellness Features
Heated towel rails, underfloor heating, even ambient lighting setups — not just luxury anymore. More Melburnians are prioritising comfort in daily routines.
7. Layouts That Actually Work
Looks matter, but function leads. Bluestone Build Co. helps design bathrooms where every element is placed with intention — lighting, power points, towel reach, flow lines — all considered.
What’s on the Way Out?
All-white everything
Black tapware (overdone and fingerprint-prone)
Busy mosaic tiles
Bathtubs in tiny bathrooms
