The stand-out trends for bathrooms this year are Colourful Decoratives and Large Format Tiles.
Why these Trends?
In the world of interior design, bathrooms have transcended their utilitarian roots to become sanctuaries of relaxation and rejuvenation. Among the elements influencing modern bathroom design, tiles have always stood out as versatile canvases for creativity and expression. Discover the latest trends in bathroom design, with a particular focus on the transformative role of tiles below;
In pursuit of seamless aesthetics, large format tiles are emerging as a popular choice for modern bathrooms. These oversized tiles minimise grout lines and in turn create a sleek and streamlined look that enhances the sense of space. Whether used on floors, walls, or shower enclosures, large format tiles exude contemporary elegance while offering practical benefits such as easy maintenance and cleaning.
Technology has also meant an expansion of non-slip, porcelain finishes available on the market outside of traditional 'matt' and 'grip' such as 'Soft' and 'IN/OUT'. Look out for these terms as you research options for your home.
Popular large format sizes we have in stock at Tile Warehouse are: 900x900mm | 1000x1000mm | 600x1200mm | Slab sizes up to 750x1500mm. Slab sizes are great options also for floor to ceiling seamless wall installation.

Gone are the days of bland, monochromatic bathrooms. The latest trend is all about making a statement with bold patterns and vibrant colors. From innovatively designed subway coloured wall tiles, intricate Moroccan-inspired gems to striking Geometric designs, decorative tiles are becoming the focal point of bathroom decor. They add personality and a fabulous opportunity for homeowners to add original looks to their personal spaces.
Texture - or the appearance of - is also taking center stage in bathroom design, with tactile tiles, such as our RAKU and ZELLIGE ranges, adding depth and dimension to surfaces. From glossy ceramics to matte finishes and textured reliefs, the interplay of different textures creates visual interest and adds a luxurious touch to bathrooms. Mixing and matching tiles with varying textures can elevate the overall design, adding layers of sophistication and style.

+ Sustainable Solutions:
As sustainability increases in importance to New Zealanders, eco-friendly materials are gaining traction in bathroom design. Tiles made from recycled glass, ceramic and porcelain are becoming increasingly popular choices for environmentally-conscious homeowners. Not only do these tiles reduce carbon footprint, but they also offer durability and low-maintenance benefits, making them a win-win solution for sustainable living.
The trends shaping modern bathroom design are diverse and dynamic, with tiles playing a pivotal role due to the myriad of design options, versatility for wet as well as dry areas of the home and because they are the most durable surface finish. Whether it's embracing nature-inspired elegance, making a bold statement with patterns and colours, or prioritising sustainability and texture play, the possibilities are endless when it comes to tile selection.
