This autumn, bathrooms are moving beyond ‘white’ towards inviting neutrals, tactile textures and beautifully engineered fixtures, choices that not only feel luxurious now but also stand the test of time and enhance resale value.
With Nôsa’s new Terra Tile range—and acclaimed products across freestanding baths, basins, and showers—creating a design-led home spa is simpler than you think.
These six editor-approved trends, each paired with specific Nôsa designs, help you build a bathroom that’s seasonal yet timeless, stylish yet practical, and undeniably luxurious.
1. Small Changes, Big Warmth: Autumnal Metals & Smart Water Use
If a full refurbishment isn’t on the cards, aim for design-led upgrades. Autumn’s mood is all about depth and glow, which you’ll get instantly from refined metal detailing.
Try Elche Metal porcelain tiles (pictured at the top) to add dramatic, light-catching accents to a splashback or feature wall. Layer with the Faro robe and towel accessory range, plus matching bathroom shelves.
Upgrade with eco-conscious technology: Nôsa’s thermostatic showers are not just sleek but excellent for smart water usage and a more stable, energy-efficient experience.
Why it adds value:
Quality brass and thermostatic controls read as “future proofed.” Buyers appreciate comfort and cost-savvy engineering.
2) Trade Stark White for Warm Neutrals
Swapping out cold whites for mineral-rich neutrals creates instant calm. For example, try out a hero vanity such as the Cappuccino Missoni for a warm, contemporary unit that anchors the room without shouting.
For compact cloakrooms: Nobu Crema Marfil wall-hung marble basin (pictured below), brings sculptural luxury in smaller bathroom or cloakroom spaces.
Underfoot or on feature walls: Nôsa’s Alicante Macchia porcelain tiles deliver soft movement and warmth.
Design note: Warm neutrals give you longevity. They’re friendly to changing trends, fantastic for everyday use and future resale.
3) Go Large Format for a Seamless, Spa-Like Sanctuary
Large-format tiles reduce grout lines, making rooms feel bigger, calmer and easier to clean. A statement surface, such as the Madrid Gold porcelain tiles from the Terra Tiles collection (pictured below), adds sophisticated golden veining, warmth, and decorative detailing. Ideal for a master suite when you want a “hotel room” at home.
Value: Seamless surfaces and simple maintenance are perennial buyer pleasers; clean architecture never dates.
4) Add Tactile Texture and Instant Design Credibility
Luxury textures are how you turn ‘nice’ into designer-inspired, home spa environments. Nôsa’s Terrassa Rib Cut beige porcelain tiles introduce natural movement, perfect for a feature wall behind a vanity unit. The warm tactility reads bespoke, while staying neutral.
Why it works: Texture adds shadow play and depth, creating a softly lit “spa vibe” that feels premium all-year-round.
5) Dial Up the Drama with Deeper Tones & Sculptural Forms
Autumn is prime time for shadowy hues and statement pieces that elevate the everyday and, crucially, refresh dated bathrooms. The Senna Carbon Fibre freestanding bath, a limited-edition centrepiece featuring sleek, contemporary lines.
Architectural basin: The Rico Pietra Grey Marble wall-hung basin brings dramatic natural stone veining in a crisp silhouette.
Finish the picture: Add the Faro Matt Black wall-hung rimless toilet for a clean, modern profile.
Resale value: One or more memorable focal designs—i.e., a freestanding stone bath and architectural accessories – complemented by coherent dark hardware create a designer bathroom that photographs, feels, and sells beautifully.
6) Embrace Greens & Organic Woods for Grounded Calm.
Green is the serene neutral of 2025 and beyond, especially when paired with wood tones. Nôsa’s Vermont Olive Green freestanding stone bath is celebrated for its natural hue and heat-retaining properties for longer, more relaxing soaks.
Underfoot: Try the Pamplona Khaki Porcelain floor tiles, brings the warmth of timber with the practicality of porcelain.
Why it lasts: Nature-inspired palettes sidestep trend fatigue. They’re calming, photogenic and age gracefully with the rest of your home.
Timeless Bathroom Design Adds Real Value to Your Property
A beautiful bathroom is more than a mood; it’s a smart upgrade. Here’s what buyers notice:
Materials that age well: porcelain, engineered stone, and real marble details in calm palettes.
Water-smart engineering: thermostatic showers and quality brassware signal lower running costs and thoughtful specification.
Low-maintenance surfaces: large-format tiles and wall-hung fixtures read clean and modern.
One signature piece: a design-led freestanding bath or sculptural basin gives the room identity
Cohesive hardware: consistent metals (brass, copper, matt black) create a high-end finish without full renovation.
Ready to warm up your bathroom for autumn and future-proof it for years to come? Explore Nôsa ’s Terra Tile range and design-led baths, basins and showers, or book a design consultation to create a scheme tailored to your space.

Utopia has launched HeyU, its most ambitious new modular furniture collection yet, designed and manufactured entirely at Utopia’s headquarters in the West Midlands. Representing Utopia’s largest and most versatile modular range to date, HeyU redefines the boundaries of bathroom design with an inspired fusion of texture, colour and creativity.
“Silent, yet screaming touch me!” is how Richard Shore, Head of Product Design, describes the new collection which features four distinctive design styles at the heart of it. Each style has been meticulously developed and manufactured in-house to bring tactile sophistication and emotional connection to the bathroom space.
Four Distinctive Design Styles, Infinite Expression
Each of HeyU’s design styles offers its own sensory and visual experience:
Smooth – Uncomplicated and calm, Smooth is a blank canvas with a subtle chamfered edge inviting quiet sophistication or confident contrast.
Linear – Architectural and refined, the clean vertical grooves of Linear transform the ordinary into something pure and structured.
Wave – Capturing the fluid beauty of nature, Wave’s hypnotic undulations evoke the motion of ocean waves or drifting desert dunes.
Ripple – Edgy yet fluid, Ripple’s concentric pattern creates a mesmerising illusion of infinite motion.
Unlimited Personalisation
In keeping with Utopia’s reputation for design freedom, HeyU offers limitless opportunities for personalisation. Once a design style is chosen, there are 14 stunning finishes available, from bold statement hues to soft neutrals, including two brand new metallic options: Iridescent Bronze and Iridescent Claret.
Creating two completely different looks, HeyU washbasin units can be teamed with a sleek slabtop basin or a sit-on basin plus worktop combination. Slabtop options include gleaming Mineralcast high gloss basins along with contemporary ceramic styles. Brand new to Utopia’s collection of stylish sit-on basins is the new MetaLux design, a stunning circular metallic basin in Brushed Stainless Steel, Brushed Gunmetal Black or Brushed Brass. Complementary worktops to team with sit-on basins include 12mm compact laminate, 20mm marble effect solid surface and 22mm solid surface designs.
HeyU is presented as a complete bathroom collection offering tall storage and WC solutions to complement the washbasin units. All cabinets are available as either pull to open with neat handles or push to open for a sleek, handless look. Completing the collection is the new GlowLux mirror range, featuring a frosted halo surround, demister function, and optional fascia backboard to match the chosen design.
“HeyU is the result of significant investment in design, technology and manufacturing capability here at our UK headquarters” says Helen Clark, head of marketing at Utopia.
“As a British manufacturer, we have the unique advantage of controlling every stage of the creative and production process from initial concept to final assembly, allowing us to innovate with complete freedom. HeyU embodies that spirit of innovation. Its breadth of choice, texture, and finish means there truly is something for everyone, from the bold and expressive to the calm and minimalist. It’s a celebration of British craftsmanship, creativity and individuality, designed and made entirely at Utopia HQ.”
Villeroy & Boch has introduced three new models to its shower toilet range: Supreo, Supreo Select, and Tivo. These new additions are designed to fit any bathroom style and offer advanced features for comfort and hygiene.
Supreo and Supreo Select: premium hygiene and comfort
The Supreo shower toilet excels in hygiene, while the Supreo Select version adds extra comfort features. Both models offer various flow modes, automatic flushing, fresh water cleaning for the shower attachment, UV-light disinfection, odour control with a stone filter, and air purification through an ionizer – ideal for windowless bathrooms.
Both models also include a gentle HarmonicWave 2.0 shower jet, a patented SupremeDry dryer with low airflow, and ambient lighting for added atmosphere. The Supreo Select consists of a heated seat, eco mode, and automatic lid opening. Available in White Alpine and Pure Black, these models will enhance any premium bathroom with their sleek design.
Tivo: smart hygiene and comfort
The Tivo shower toilet combines all essential shower toilet functions with added comfort, like individually adjustable shower and dryer settings, a heated seat, odour extraction, usage recognition, and a nightlight. Its modern, universal design, combined with Villeroy & Boch’s high-quality finish, makes it a great choice for those seeking both hygiene and comfort. Tivo is also a practical solution for elderly users, helping them maintain independence and ease in daily routines.
When you’re planning your dream bathroom, it’s easy to get swept up in luxurious finishes, statement fixtures and the idea of creating your own private sanctuary. But once children arrive, priorities shift. Suddenly, safety, practicality and ease of use climb right to the top of the list.
Happily, Roca products are designed to help bathrooms evolve as life does, so you don’t have to sacrifice style for family-friendly design. Here are a few smart solutions parents often overlook at first, but later find make all the difference:
1. Fun can also be functional
Kids love colour and adding a bright pop or two will raise the mood for all bathroom users. With Roca’s Nu range of brassware (above), you get the hit of colour in a practical mixer that also helps to save water and energy. With Cold Start, it defaults to cold water for quick hand washing – so the boiler doesn’t kick in – and features an aerator to limit flow without compromising performance.
2. Style meets safety
Sharp tools and little hands don’t mix. Horizon (below left), features a hidden top drawer, perfect for tucking away razors, tweezers and other small essentials. The best part? It’s seamlessly built into a sleek, elegant design that keeps everything secure.
Above left: Roca’s Horizon vanity features a hidden drawer inside the main drawer, from £1,929; Above right: Victoria-N 800mm wall-hung vanity in Light Ash, £993, and matching Extra column unit, £456.
3. Wall-mounted storage units
Cleaning sprays, medicines, skincare…bathrooms can be full of things you’d rather children couldn’t reach. Roca’s wall-mounted Extra (shown above right) and Delta storage units keep everything safely tucked away while maintaining a clutter-free, streamlined aesthetic. Lifting storage off the floor also frees up space, making the bathroom easier to clean and safer for kids on the move.
4. Thoughtful controls
Traditional layouts put shower and bath controls directly under the water flow, which means leaning in, getting splashed or adjusting the temperature while a child waits. With Roca’s Splash T design (below), controls are mounted separately on the wall, so you can set the perfect temperature before stepping in. The mixer is thermostatic, allowing you to set the temperature precisely – no sudden cold or scalding hot surprises if a toilet is flushed or another tap is run. Plus with dual outlets, you can have both an overhead rainfall shower for adults to relax under, as well as a handheld shower to help wash kids – and pets!
Above: Splash-T built in thermostatic mixer with three outlets in Matt Black, £404, with matching Matt Black bath overflow filler, £186, and showering accessories from £44.
5. Soft-close toilet seats
Little explorers love testing everything, and toilet seats can be an unexpected hazard. Roca’s soft-close toilet seats shut slowly and quietly, protecting small fingers and preventing sudden bangs. A small detail, but one that makes everyday life calmer and safer.
6. Slip-resistant surfaces
Bath time with kids usually means water on the floor. Roca’s slip-resistant shower trays help reduce the risk of falls, so children can splash and play while parents relax. Safety is built in, without compromising a clean, modern look.
Take the Roca Terran-N shower tray, for example (below). Made from Stonex®, a composite of natural minerals, resins, and recycled PET, it features a non-slip, grain-like texture that’s resistant to scratches, stains and impact. In fact, Terran-N has a Class C anti-slip rating, which is the highest-possible class for maximum safety. Plus, because Stonex® is non-porous, it’s also highly resistant to bacteria and mould, and doesn’t require sealing or special cleaning products – a quick wipe with mild detergent keeps it looking pristine, day after day.
Above: Terran-N shower trays are available in a choice of White, Slate, Black, Pearl, Onyx, Beige and Coffee, and sizes from 800 x 800mm, priced from £389.
Natalie Bird, brand marketing manager at Roca, says, “At Roca, we believe a family bathroom should be just as stylish as it is practical. With thoughtful features designed around real life, parents can create spaces that feel luxurious today and still work brilliantly for tomorrow.”
Villeroy & Boch posted a 6.7% increase in revenue for the first nine months of 2025, reaching €1,075.2 million. This growth was largelydriven bythe Ideal Standard acquisition, despite challenging market conditions and lower consumer spending. Operating EBIT rose slightly to €65.1 million, reflecting strong performance in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East, Africa) and in the fittings and shower systems business.
Tough global economy, but solid results
The first nine months of the financial year were marked by a challenging global economic environment. In the Bathroom & Wellness division, the ongoing decline in the European residential construction sector, coupled with restrained investment – including in renovations – had a significant impact on business development.
“Against the backdrop of the current global economic situation and the associated restraint in consumer spending and investment, which is particularly affecting key growth markets for us such as China and the eurozone, we performed well in the market in the first nine months,” summarises CEO Gabi Schupp.
“The positive response to our innovations in both business segments and the further internationalisation of our business are the result of our strategic realignment following the acquisition.”
Strong Performance in EMEA Region
The Bathroom & Wellness division achieved sales growth of 8.3%, reaching €865.6 million. This was driven by strategic acquisitions, with fittings and shower systems growing by €37.9 million and sanitary ceramics and kitchens increasing by €21.7 million. The launch of new products like ALU+ and Antao, as well as the i.life and Architectura collections, were well received. The EMEA region saw particularly strong growth of 13.4%, while the Asia-Pacific and Americas regions experienced a drop in sales of 26.9%. The division’s operating EBIT was €52.5 million, consistent with last year.
Dining & Lifestyle Shows Modest Growth
The Dining & Lifestyle division generated €207.6 million in sales, with a 2.0% increase in pure product business. Sales to retail partners grew by 11.0%, and the project business for hotels and restaurants was up by 8.9%. Operating EBIT for this division was €12.6 million, marking a 3.3% increase compared to last year.
Outlook for 2025
The economic outlook remains uncertain, and Villeroy & Boch is adjusting its forecast for 2025. It expectss sales growth to be in the low single digits, with operating EBIT slightly below last year’s figures. Investments in property and assets are expected to be slightly lower than the previous year.
