Bathroom Trends 2025: Tile Styles and Design Ideas Shaping Australian Bathrooms
The bathroom has become more than just a utilitarian space — in 2025, it’s a sanctuary.
Bathrooms in 2025 are a personal retreat that blends function with luxury, calm with character. At Tile Warehouse, we’re seeing homeowners and renovators make bolder, more personalised choices. Thanks to insights from leading bathroom renovation experts like Banana Bathrooms, we’ve curated the top bathroom trends set to define the year ahead — and the tile styles helping to bring them to life.
See How 2025 Bathroom Tile Trends Are Shaping Australian Renovations
Topics covered:
- Texture
- Soft, Earthy Colours
- Curves
- Floor-to-Ceiling Tiles
- Spa-Like Escapes
1. Texture-Rich Tiles for Character and Comfort
Forget flat, glossy surfaces. In 2025, texture is taking the lead. From handmade-look finishes to tumbled stone and brushstroke glazes, textured tiles add depth and authenticity to your space. These tactile surfaces are especially popular in earthy, natural tones — perfect for achieving a grounded, spa-like vibe.
💡 Our pick: Revoir Paris’ Bel Histoire Agathe is one of our top floor tile choices for those seeking European charm with a modern twist. Its heritage pattern softens hard surfaces and adds instant personality to any bathroom.

2. The Rise of Soft, Earthy Colours
This year, we’re waving goodbye to stark whites and harsh greys. In their place? A soothing palette of muted clay, terracotta, blush, sage, and oat. These colours reflect a broader desire for calm, warmth, and connection to nature — especially in spaces where you start and end your day.
💡 Trending tile: Terracotta tiles, which are embracing the resurgence of terracotta tones, bring a rustic charm to bathrooms. Their earthy hues are perfect for creating Mediterranean-inspired spaces and pair beautifully with timber and natural stone elements.

3. Curves Are Back – And Better Than Ever
One of the standout trends for 2025 is the return of curves. Arched doorways, rounded mirrors, curved vanity edges, and even circular mosaic tile layouts are taking over. Curves soften the aesthetic and give bathrooms a relaxed, almost retro-luxury feel.
💡 Design idea: Use fan, fish scale, or penny round tiles in soft tones to accentuate curved walls, mirror inlays or shower niches. Their flexibility makes them ideal for rounding off tight corners and adding flair to otherwise square spaces.

4. Floor-to-Ceiling Tiles for Drama and Durability
Once considered a premium option, full-height tiled walls are becoming more mainstream thanks to their sleek look and practical benefits. They create a cohesive, luxe backdrop, minimise paintwork, reduce cleaning effort, and are especially useful in wet areas.
💡 Consider: Large-format tiles in matte finishes for a seamless look. Neutral tones like sandstone, travertine, or light terrazzo offer timeless appeal and create visual continuity across the space.

5. Spa-Like Escapes at Home
More homeowners are transforming their bathrooms into mini day spas, not just functional areas. This trend includes walk-in showers, layered lighting, freestanding tubs, and natural stone-look tiles that evoke high-end resorts. The goal? A place to pause, breathe, and reset.
💡 Tile tip: Look for calming materials like limestone-look or tumbled travertine-style tiles. Their organic tones pair beautifully with timber vanities, brushed brass tapware, and soft linen textures.
