Are These the Real Bathroom Trends Appealing to UK Homeowners?
Check out these popular bathroom features and see if any are on your wish list
We hear a lot about what’s trending in home design, but are these the things homeowners are really searching for? Take a look at this year’s most-saved bathroom photos on Houzz UK to get an idea of the kinds of rooms homeowners are using as inspiration for their renovation projects.
Blue is on our wish lists
It’s a colour many of us love in our kitchens, and now it seems we’re bringing bold blue into our bathrooms. This cool yet uplifting colour works well in a washroom and, by adding it to a vanity unit, splashback or floor, you’ll quickly liven up a simple white space.
This popular image shows a bathroom designed by Fiona Duke Interiors and illustrates how just one blue element can change the look of a space. Note also that the trim and taps are made from brass – another favourite with Houzz users.

This stylish space by neighbourhood studio combines the best of both worlds – a monochrome scheme given character with a bold blue floor.
We’re getting on board with green
Staying on the subject of colour, another shade cropping up in the most-saved photos is green. It’s a hue that’s again appeared in kitchens recently and it can look equally good in a bathroom.
Here, Romilly Turner Interior Design went for an emerald green to add a dramatic tiled wall behind the bath.

If emerald green is too striking, sage green could be a calmer alternative. The luxurious surfaces in this elegant bathroom, again by Fiona Duke Interiors, are framed by soft green walls.
Storage is more than just storage
No matter the colour scheme, a feature that stands out in many of these saved images is the vanity unit. These under-basin cabinets aren’t just functional, they’re a piece of furniture that designers are using to beautifully finish off a room.
The pale wood vanity unit here adds a warm, natural finish to the space and provides heaps of storage to boot.

If you’re after something different, this idea by Run for the Hills is worth considering, and the image has been well received by UK Houzz users. The design team have repurposed an old console table by adding a beautiful marble surface and rectangular basin, with plumbing installed below.
We’re bigging up our baths
For many homeowners, bathrooms are a place to linger and a statement bath would certainly tempt you to do that. Popular photo saves include this stunning space by Studio Milne, with the ultimate in feature tubs.

For something slightly more conventional, this oval bath in a room designed by Dominic McKenzie Architects is also a favourite. The room’s sleek grey walls show off the white sanitaryware beautifully.
Curves are appealing
The rounded edges of the tub in the previous picture are proving popular in other bathroom features. Here, for example, Studio 152 has incorporated an attractive wooden vanity unit with curved edges.
It works particularly well next to the bath, as it allows space between the two elements.

Black and white bathrooms have been popular for a while now and they’re still very much on our radars. Not only do they appear frequently in our most-saved photos, the phrase ‘black and white bathrooms’ was the eighth most popular bathroom search term on Houzz UK this year.
This space by PLANSTUDIO was a favourite with Houzz users. It teams a simple geometric black floor with black-grouted white metro tiles. If you’re worried a black and white scheme might be too stark, soften the look with texture, as they’ve done here by adding a concrete basin, wicker baskets and plenty of greenery.
