2023 Bathroom Trends

The bathroom has evolved from a purely functional area to a space with endless design potential. For this reason, bathroom trends are constantly changing and evolving from year to year. From patterned tiles to statement basins, let's take a look at the trends set to make a lasting impression in 2023 and how to incorporate them into your own bathroom.

Pattern

Pattern tiles show no sign of going out of fashion and are the perfect solution for sprucing up a bathroom in need of a lift. Use a pattern tile to create a feature wall, statement floor, or tile a wet room. If you are on a budget, even just a few patterned tiles in select areas can make all the difference in a plain bathroom.

Our patterned tiles come in a variety of different shapes, sizes, colours, and designs in both traditional and modern styles. This means achieving your desired look could not be easier. Moroccan-inspired tiles like the Tapis are always a favourite, adding elegance and texture to a room. Another major interior design trend for 2023 is Mosaic Pattern Tiles. A striking design feature in any bathroom, these tiles have truly stood the test of time.

White

Commonly associated with calmness and quiet, a white colour scheme in your bathroom will help soothe the mind and soul.

We stock elegant White Bathroom Furniture to suit bathrooms of all sizes and styles, from vanity units to tallboys. Our furniture will keep your bathroom neat and tidy, which is essential for a calming space.

No white colour scheme will be complete without tiles. We recommend steering away from clinical whites as this will make your bathroom look one-dimensional. Instead, opt for textured whites such as a marble tile. We really love the grooved texture and gold marble veining of the Lancelot Gold Rectified Tile!

Wet Rooms

Wet Rooms are becoming increasingly popular in new builds and contemporary bathrooms. Thanks to their open design, wet rooms are more accessible and bring spa luxury to your bathroom. They also create the illusion of more space, making your bathroom feel bigger, airier, and more relaxing.

At Bathshack, we have all you need to build your wet room including screens, tanking, wet room trays and tiles. With a wide range of designs available, you can create the perfect wet room to suit the style of your bathroom. Click here to start building the wet room of your dreams today!

Wood Tones

Wood tones are predicted to be one of the biggest trends this year and can be incorporated into your bathroom in several ways.

Wood effect tiles have the same visual appeal and texture as natural wood and will make your space feel warmer. They are also more cost-effective, lower maintenance and more resistant to moisture, which makes them ideal for the bathroom. To shop our range of wood effect tiles, click here.

We also stock furniture in rich wood tones. All furniture is made from custom-engineered wood which is better suited for a bathroom environment as it will not warp over time from moisture. Choose from space-saving, wall-hung vanities to larger countertops and storage units. To browse the full collection, click here.

Chevron Tiles

The chevron tile pattern arranges rectangular tiles in continuous Vs. Each V is identical to the one before, so when multiple rows are put together, it forms a striking zig-zag pattern. This layout creates a clean look with sharp angles and straight lines. It can make a room feel bigger and ceilings higher – perfect for creating an open, airy feel in smaller spaces.

The most popular way to create this pattern is with Metro Tiles. Whether you are after a classic or contemporary look, chevron metro tiles will transform any room. Soft-coloured tiles are elegant and sophisticated, while bold colours create a more dramatic, modern look.

Want the chevron look with less effort? Chevron Mosaic Sheets are perfect for creating a feature wall. Alternatively, create the pattern on the floor with one of our Chevrons Wood Effect Tiles.

Bidets

We typically stumble across bidets when travelling abroad. Despite being common across the globe, they aren’t that popular in UK & Ireland bathrooms. However, this is predicted to change in 2023. Bidets add a little something extra to a bathroom and are growing in popularity because they improve hygiene greatly. Select a bidet that fits with your existing bathroom theme. We stock traditional and modern bidets in different designs and colours, from white floorstanding to black wall-hung bidets. To find the perfect match for your bathroom, shop here.

Brushed brass

Brushed brass is a type of brass that has been cured to give it a duller finish than polished gold brass. It is slowly becoming one of the most popular finishes for bathroom fixtures, so it’s one to watch for 2023. Brushed brass adds glamour, warmth, and a welcoming glow to your bathroom, making it a luxurious alternative to chrome. We stock a wide range of brushed brass taps, showers, framed mirrors, lighting fixtures, and accessories, so you can coordinate your whole bathroom in style. To shop the full range, click here.

Statement Basins

Who says basins have to be boring? Make yours the centrepiece of your bathroom this year with a countertop basin. These contemporary basins sit on top of a countertop vanity. They provide a luxury designer edge to any bathroom, which is why they are becoming more popular in new builds and renovations.

Our countertop basins come in a range of shapes in sizes, so you are certain to find one that suits your bathroom. Choose between oval, round, square and rectangular shapes in colours from classic white ceramic to grey and black. No matter what one you choose, our basins are guaranteed to make a statement.

Bespoke Furniture

Luxury bespoke furniture will be one of this year’s bathroom must-haves. We offer an exclusive bespoke furniture collection by Josef Martin, a local, family-run organisation that makes their furniture to order. This means all their furniture can be customised especially for you. For example, you can have a specific design spray painted in the colour of your choice. Contact us or visit us in-store to learn more about our Josef Martin units and how they can be tailored to suit your needs. We recommend choosing one in a traditional style as this is set to be more popular than modern designs in 2023.
