Insights from Wattle Court Experts
Bathrooms are no longer just functional spaces—they are places where style meets relaxation. As we head into 2025, the experts at Wattle Court are seeing exciting bathroom design trends emerge, from Scandinavian-inspired simplicity to bold tile choices and a harmonious blend of Hamptons and coastal styles.
Here’s what our teams across the Sunshine Coast, Sydney North, and Southern Highlands are predicting as the top bathroom design trends for 2025 and their advice for creating timeless, functional spaces.
Scandinavian Simplicity
According to Renee O’Brien, Scandinavian-inspired bathrooms are a standout trend for 2025. This style is defined by clean lines, lighter colour palettes, and the use of natural materials like wooden vanities and stone surfaces. The result is a look that is minimal yet warm and inviting.
Hamptons Coastal Blend
Renee also highlights the growing popularity of blending Hamptons country style with coastal influences. This timeless aesthetic features soft pastel and white tones, textured tiles, shaker-style cabinets, and brushed platinum gold tapware. It’s a design that feels both relaxed and sophisticated.
“When designing your bathroom, prioritise natural light and incorporate functional yet stylish features like open floating shelves. Decorative touches such as indoor plants, stools, and baskets can seamlessly tie the entire theme together,” Renee advises.
Nature-Inspired Elegance
Deb Stoffels highlights natural materials like timber and stone as essential for bathroom designs, particularly in coastal homes. These elements add warmth and character to the space, while gold and bronze finishes offer a touch of elegance.
Deb also emphasises the importance of functionality and spaciousness in any bathroom design. “Make the bathroom as spacious as possible. There’s nothing worse than not having enough storage or bench space on the vanity. Thoughtfully prioritising these elements will ensure your bathroom is not only functional but also a stylish and enjoyable space to use every day.”
Bold Tiles and Statement Tapware
Daisy, Finishes Manager at Sydney North, is seeing bold tiles take centre stage in 2025. Zellige and Bejmat hand-cut Moroccan tiles, with their smaller format and non-rectified edges, are popular for their unique, handcrafted feel.
“Their smaller format and non-rectified edges give them a unique, handcrafted feel. In neutral tones, they add an earthy elegance, while bold colours provide a striking pop of personality, perfect for clients who want to make a statement,” Daisy shares.
When it comes to tapware, brushed nickel is taking over from gold as the must-have finish. “Tapware—you heard it here first—gold is out. It’s all about silver tones, with brushed nickel taking the spotlight.
Daisy also recommends selecting materials, colours, and styles that reflect your personality. “A bathroom designed with personal touches is not only timeless but will also feel uniquely yours for years to come.”
