KEUCO’s EDITION 11 ART introduces a tone-on-tone colour concept that sets a new standard in bathroom design, offering a seamless blend of colours, surfaces, and materials. This collection allows designers to create a unified bathroom aesthetic with a modern, sophisticated feel.
At the core of EDITION 11 ART is the washbasin, available in a range of colours such as White, Sand, Manhattan, Blue Satin, and Smoke. These elegant hues harmonise with the furniture, creating a balanced tone-on-tone effect. The collection offers both single and double washbasin options, with widths of 800mm and 1200mm, alongside practical storage solutions with one or two drawers.
Designer Dominik Tesseraux of Tesseraux + Partner has developed a bathroom furniture concept with fine lines and a solid, supportive feel. The 4mm enamel washbasin blends seamlessly with the vanity unit, resulting in a unified, streamlined appearance. The high-quality materials used for the furniture surfaces, including veneer, ceramic, and glass, complement the washbasin colours for a consistent overall design.
The series is refined by subtle details, including side handles that match the finishes of KEUCO’s other fittings and accessories: brushed red gold, brushed brass, brushed titanium black, aluminium finish, and stainless steel, as well as deep black matt and chrome. These elements ensure continuity and a cohesive aesthetic.
A highlight of the collection is the vanity unit with a glass shelf, offering an innovative take on bathroom furniture. Wall-mounted and complemented by matching sideboards, tall units, and a mirrored shelving unit, it serves as the focal point of a harmonious design.
KEUCO’s mixer fittings and accessories complement the tone-on-tone concept, with finishes designed to integrate seamlessly with the bathroom’s furniture and washbasins. The drawers are finished in carbon black, creating a striking contrast and adding elegance to the interior. The innovative storage solutions include longitudinal and transverse boxes that maximise organisation and functionality.
For further customisation, KEUCO offers the option to order bathroom furniture in any RAL Classic colour, paired with the five washbasin colours to create a personalised space. The round light mirror, with adjustable lighting and automatic heating to ensure clarity in steamy conditions, is a visual highlight that complements the bathroom furniture.
The SOMARIS mirror cabinet, with its minimalist design and colour-matching options, provides additional storage. Side panels can be customised in all RAL Classic colours, ensuring the EDITION 11 ART suite is fully coordinated.
With its thoughtful design and high-quality materials, KEUCO’s EDITION 11 ART creates a peaceful and luxurious bathroom, blending functionality with style.
In the second part of his signature series, Belgian designer Bertrand Lejoly aims to transform the concept of the bathroom into a warm and intimate retreat. His design philosophy is to dispel the often sterile, cold atmosphere typical of traditional bathrooms. “I wanted to use warm materials and accessories to create a space that feels cosy and inviting,” Lejoly explained.
Embracing the growing trend of bathrooms as personal sanctuaries, Lejoly combines open space with intimate design elements. The muted moss-green walls complement carefully selected materials, enhancing the room’s inviting, homely feel.
A key feature of Lejoly’s design for Duravit is the unconventional approach to the double washbasin. “I wanted to create a direct link to the bedroom, which is why it was important to strike the right balance between openness and a seamless transition between the two areas. At the same time, this creates a harmonious symmetry and optimally uses the available space,” he explained.
To maintain privacy in the open layout, Lejoly placed the shower and shower toilet behind discreet doors, which, when closed, blend seamlessly into the storage wall. This design choice creates a harmonious flow, adding to the bathroom’s serene and uncluttered aesthetic.
The minimalist approach extends to the vanity units, which feature light, open designs with storage easily accessible. Two tall cabinets enhance the storage capacity without disrupting the room’s visual harmony.
Lejoly’s choice of materials includes dark wood, black taps, and a satin-matt cast-mineral bathtub, all of which complement the overall aesthetic. “Green plays a central role in the room and subtly complements the materials, giving the whole room a consistent feel,” he added.
This design not only distinguishes the bathroom from the more neutral tones of the surrounding rooms but also offers a timeless space, combining functionality with a personal, retreat-like atmosphere.
The fun and vibrant Dopamine Decor trend is growing in 2025, bringing bold colours, playful patterns, and expressive design into the home.This trend focuses on creating uplifting spaces that enhance mood and reflect personality through dynamic and joyful styling choices.
James Mellan-Matulewicz, creative director of Bobbi Beck, explains how to get this look:
Adding Dopamine Decor to your home creates a space that feels bright, energising and uniquely personal. By incorporating vivid colours with textures and decorative furnishings, this trend helps make your home an inspiring mood-boosting place to be. In the world of Dopamine Decor, bold, saturated colours like electric blue, hot pink, and bright yellow are taking centre stage.
In 2025, homeowners are seeking happier, more expressive interiors that boost mood and creativity. The shift away from minimalism has led to more freedom of creativity, and nostalgic design elements have become more popular.
Post-pandemic living has prioritised creating fun and enjoyable spaces, emphasising the importance of a home environment that enhances well-being and positivity. There’s a growing embrace of whimsical elements, including retro-inspired furniture, unique patterns, and quirky statement pieces, all of which bring personality and a playful touch to interiors.
To introduce Dopamine Decor embrace punchy colours and happy hues like fuchsia, mustard yellow, turquoise, or lime green to energise your space. Try colour blocking or painting a ceiling in a bold shade for a simple but effective wow factor.
Mix and match bold patterned wallpaper or wall murals to add character. Try a bold checkerboard & stripe pattern or an abstract print to bring a fun focal point to your room.
Add statement furniture, whether it be a brightly painted sideboard or a sofa in an unexpected colour. Try smaller objects like vases and dried-coloured flowers.
Experiment with textures and materials, adding velvets, fringe or tassels, embroidered cushions or mirrored and iridescent finishes to add a playful touch.
Dopamine Decor is often associated with bold and vibrant colours, but softer hues like pastel tonescan also embody the trend in a more soothing and playful way.
Gold and metallic accents introduce texture and depth, whether it be gold light fixtures, brass hardware, gilded picture frames, or metallic fittings, which work perfectly in modern or vintage settings.
As Dopamine Decor continues to make waves in 2025, this vibrant and expressive trend proves that interior design is more than just aesthetics; it’s about creating spaces that continue to motivate and provide happiness. James concludes that this trend is about celebrating individuality and joy, helping homeowners create truly personal and inspiring interiors.

Features by Diane Larner, founder and editor of Bathroom Review & Kitchens Review. Diane Larner launched both titles over 15 years ago and has been writing about the bathroom and kitchen interior design industry ever since, publishing regular features across the two sectors.
Combining utility with space-saving design is key when it comes to creating a modern bathroom space. Functionality and aesthetics must go hand in hand as consumers favour everything from sleek, minimalistic vanities to practical modular storage systems; the winning formula is to balance good looks with efficiency and durability.
In addition, today’s consumers wish the bathroom to function as a personal retreat where style and customisation come together to create spa-like luxury. In this case, the selection of bathroom furniture is fundamental to the overall design since it greatly impacts the mood and tone of the space.
Julie Lockwood, furniture product manager for Bathrooms to Love by PJH, agrees. “As we continue to spend more time at home, the desire to create warm, cosy, and inviting spaces is set to evolve further and become more refined during 2025. In the bathroom, this translates into a growing preference for spa-inspired spaces that promote well-being and relaxation. Luxury, opulence and sophistication remain key influences in bathroom furniture design. Consumers aspire to bespoke designs that showcase standout features, reflecting their individuality, such as statement vanity units and basins.”
True colours
VITRIUM by Christian Werner for Duravit
Colour significantly influences the temperament of a new design; in recent times, the shift to darker, bolder shades adds depth, character, and an indulgent sense of luxury. These moody tones perfectly complement natural texture, as well as highlighting details such as metallic accents, evoking a sense of warmth while creating a contemporary aesthetic.
Martin Carroll, MD for Duravit UK, explains, “Colour and texture continue to play a key role in bathroom furniture design. The careful use of colour can transform a space; it all depends on the chosen tone. Incorporating different textures, from smooth surfaces to tactile finishes, further enhances the finished aesthetic.”
VITRIUMby Christian Werner for Duravit brings a bold splash of colour into the bathroom. The new series includes vanity units and a tall cabinet, working with matching washbasins, toilets and bathtubs from other series.
Ahead of the curve
Utopia ChicModular Collection
Curvy or sculpted elements add a touch of artistry to the bathroom, and when combined with textured surfaces, they create visual interest and a sense of elegance. Sculpted furniture, in particular, delivers an architectural style that turns everyday bathroom fixtures into works of art. The result is a space that feels luxurious and on-trend.
Richard Shore, head of product design at Utopia Furniture Ltd, outlines the growing popularity of curated design, confirming, “2025 will be the year when the home once again becomes our hero. Project home will be bold and ambitious, with colour, curves and texture as the defining trends. Texture will embolden furniture, accent walls, and define accessories with a confidence not seen before.”
Beautiful by design, Chic is Utopia’s brand-new modular collection. Stylish and elegant, it’s the perfect fusion of form and function, featuring delicate sculpted shapes and sensational colour options. With countless different variations possible, Chic can be built to suit individual preferences and budgets.
Get into the groove
Tissino Stratto Bathroom Furniture Collection
Sally Bettison, product manager for Tissino, agrees with Shore and Carroll, “Colour and texture is big news in the bathroom as we head into 2025, and we are seeing a shift in the colour hues and shades we are choosing. Reassuring and calming warm neutrals have replaced cool, stark whites to the point that we are being adventurous with deeper and richer shades, including terracotta.”
Bettison adds, “Fluted and reeded furniture brings the texture by the bucket load. Add colour into the mix, and you’ve got a stunning trend-focused vanity unit that will transform your bathroom with multiple trends in one.”
Stratto,the new bathroom furniture collectionfrom Tissino, is a trend-led range of wall-hung vanity units in various sizes and hues. Featuring clean lines, a sophisticated textured fluted finish, and practical storage, the collection has been designed to be a focal point of any bathroom space.
Pushing the boundaries
Bathrooms to Love ‘Push’ Collection
Tactile furniture, whether designed with bold handles or seamless drawers, help to engage the senses. This adds comfort and visual appeal that also encourages users to engage more intimately with the space. These dopamine-boosting elements play a key role in neuro-responsive design since they help create a relaxing and uplifting feel. Alongside texture, there is also something extremely satisfying about drawer handles that function intuitively, delivering a subtle but impactful detail to the design.
The latest push-to-open technology eliminates the need for manual handles and provides ease of use whilst fostering a sense of convenience. One example is the new modular furniture family in PJH’s Bathrooms to Love Collection, which includes its premium range Push, an exceptional design that combines flexible storage with thoughtful attention to detail.
Luxurious throughout, the Push range – named after its push-to-open drawers and doors – is available in wall-hung vanity and midi-boy units, featuring a beautiful, chamfered edge detail. Its sleek, handleless form makes it an effortlessly stylish furniture choice, perfect for contemporary bathroom spaces.

With countless different variations possible, Chic can be built to suit individual preferences and budgets.

GRAFF, leaders in luxury brassware, and Cosentino, leaders in sustainable surfaces, share their advice on incorporating wabi-sabi and Japandi minimalism to achieve the ultimate spathroom aesthetic.
2024 saw the rise of the ‘spathroom’, with homeowners looking to spa design for interior inspiration in their own home. The bathroom remains a place to reset, relax and indulge, with the spathroom remaining a mainstay in interior design.
In 2025, the spathroom takes inspiration from wabi-sabi – the ancient Japanese philosophy that encourages us to find the beauty in simplicity – and Japandi minimalism, combining the “less-is-more” aesthetic of Japanese and Scandinavian interior design.
When it comes to brassware, Ziggy Kulig, CEO of GRAFF, advises: “Our everyday lives are stressful, and the bathroom has become a refuge where we can unwind and recharge at the end of the day. Pared-back Japandi design and interiors that embrace wabi-sabi have, unsurprisingly, become popular as we seek to eliminate clutter and create a retreat that makes us feel at ease.
“Japandi and wabi-sabi design ethos emphasises minimalism and clean lines: in the bathroom, look to GRAFF’s M.E. collection, which features sleek, modern lines and an organic silhouette that complements the simplicity and minimalist aesthetic associated with Japanese design. Prioritise elegant finishes such as solid brass or brushed nickel to enhance the natural wood, stone and biophilic colours synonymous with Japandi and wabi-sabi interiors.”
For bathroom surfaces, look to natural stones and textures for inspiration, says Katie Parry Stone, Retail Manager at Cosentino UK. “Wabi-sabi and Japandi interiors are known for their ‘less is more’ approach, so it’s important to prioritise bathroom surfaces that create a minimalist yet characterful backdrop. This design ethos is also known for its use of organic finishes, variety of texture, and natural colour palette, in order to embrace imperfections and bring personality to otherwise pared-back spaces.
“Cosentino’s new Dekton Pietra Edition range is perfect for wabi-sabi spaces; inspired by natural stone, including limestone and marble, Dekton Pietra Edition embraces the natural beauty of stone with authentic texture, subtle imperfections and earthy tones. Or look to the lighter marble colourways from Silestone Le Chic, such as Eclectic Pearl: a soft white with warm grey marbling, which embraces the irregularities of natural marble for a luxurious feel whilst still providing a muted and tranquil finish that encapsulates Japanese minimalism.”
