Ahead of the release of season four, part two of Bridgerton – Netflix’s award-winning romantic Regency drama – homeowners are increasingly looking to recreate the elegance of late-Georgian interiors within their own homes.

Search demand reflects this growing trend, with Pinterest reporting an 80% rise in searches for ‘Bridgerton aesthetic’ between late December 2025 and January 2026, as fans sought ways to bring period-inspired luxury into modern interiors.

While grand ballrooms and sweeping staircases define the show’s visual identity, the bathroom is an equally powerful space to introduce Regency-inspired design. The experts at Hudson Reed reveal how to create a refined, Bridgerton-inspired bathroom that blends heritage style with contemporary comfort.

Hudson Reed’s head of design, Marcus Pearson, is offering his top tips to bring Bridgerton inspiration into your bathroom. 

Choose timeless brassware for Regency Elegance

During the Regency era, dedicated bathrooms were a symbol of wealth and sophistication. Today, brassware remains one of the easiest ways to introduce a sense of heritage luxury into your space.

Swapping minimalist, modern fittings for brushed brass taps, shower fixtures, handles and accessories instantly elevates the bathroom. Opt for traditional silhouettes with subtle detailing to capture a Regency bathroom aesthetic while ensuring durability and longevity.

Brushed brass also complements a wide range of colour palettes, making it a versatile choice for both classic and contemporary interiors.

Opt for traditional bathroom furniture 

Bridgeton-Bathroom-Furniture-Blue-BlackMarble-Cameo

Heritage design continues to influence modern bathroom furniture, and classic cabinetry is key to achieving a Bridgerton-inspired interior.

Hudson Reed’s Old London bathroom furniture collection reflects timeless Regency styling, with shaker detailing and elegant proportions. Its colour palette – including Timeless Sand, Storm Grey, Twilight Blue and Hunter Green – introduces depth and character while maintaining a refined, period feel.

These muted, sophisticated tones are ideal for creating a calming yet luxurious space that nods to Georgian design traditions.

Incorporate marble for a luxury vanity area

No Regency-inspired bathroom is complete without marble. Synonymous with opulence, marble surfaces instantly enhance the sense of grandeur and refinement.

A floor-standing vanity unit paired with a marble countertop creates a striking focal point, combining functionality with high-end aesthetics.

Complete the look with an ornate or metallic-framed mirror to reflect light and add visual interest. Alternatively, a coordinated mirror cabinet offers practical storage while maintaining a cohesive, heritage-inspired design.

Add a heritage-inspired feature wall 

Pattern played a key role in Regency interiors, and incorporating it into your bathroom is an effective way to introduce character and softness.

Wallpaper featuring delicate florals or classical motifs provides a subtle nod to period styling, balancing beautifully with brass fixtures and traditional furniture.

For a contemporary interpretation, limit pattern to a single feature wall and pair it with complementary paint or tiles in soft pastel shades. This approach prevents the space from feeling overwhelming while

Duravit has always been seen as a key brand when designing interiors for the hospitality sector, be it large projects or boutique hotels, Duravit is sought for all areas from cloakrooms to high end ensuites.  A recent example is the products that were selected for the boutique Hotel Blaue Burg in the Bavarian Alps.  Chosen for their quality, design aesthetic and their durability – all essential attributes in hotel design.

In this instance the guestrooms each required a spa-style bathroom featuring freestanding bathtubs, that provided soft lines to create a dialogue between nature and architecture.  Here Duravit’s freestanding LUV bathtub was the ideal option, creating a sense of lightness in deliberate contrast to the rugged landscape.  Designed by Cecilie Manz for  Duravit the LUV bathtub has soft curves and clean lines.  It was pared with the C.1 bathtub mixer to emphasize the gentle bathroom architecture and add a precise accent to the bathtub’s organic lines.

The WHITE TULIP countertop washbasin by Phillippe Starck and the C.1 faucet were selected for the vanity area helping to complete the tranquil bathroom concept.

BothLUV and WHITE TULIP collections are crafted from Duravit’s durable, high-quality and easy-care ceramics.  Designed for longevity, the durable surfaces are perfect for daily use in hotel operations and support efficient cleaning and high hygiene standards.

Sustainability is shaping bathroom design, and Duravit’s C1 tap designs embody this.  Engineered with precision for durability, the taps are available in chrome or black matt PVD‑coated surfaces for enhanced scratch resistance and long‑lasting protection against corrosion.

The beauty of these taps goes beyond their finish; they incorporate intelligent features FreshStart and MinusFlow  helping reduce energy use and minimising water consumption without compromising performance.  Meanwhile, AirPlus technology enriches the water stream with air, creating a fuller, softer flow that feels luxurious while using less water.  C1 is a collection of taps that are smart as well as stylish—ideal for contemporary bathrooms where sustainability and design are essential.

Frontline Bathrooms has launched a new AquaKast bath collection for its Aqua brand, developed in collaboration with acclaimed British designer Barrie Cutchie. The AquaKast range reinforces Frontline’s focus on exclusive, design-led product development that delivers clear value for retailers while remaining accessible to the end consumer.

The collaboration brings together Barrie Cutchie’s four decades of design expertise with Frontline’s manufacturing capability and market insight. Widely recognised for reintroducing classic bath silhouettes and refining them for modern living, Barrie’s work is rooted in proportion, comfort and longevity, principles that have shaped some of the most recognisable freestanding baths in the UK market. This new collection translates that heritage into a commercially focused range that works across a wide variety of bathroom styles and footprints.

Commenting on the launch, Darren Allison, managing director at Frontline says: “This collaboration signals an important step forward for Aqua and AquaKast will be a key part of how we are strengthening our offer to our retail partners. Bringing Barrie into the fold allows us to deliver genuinely design-led baths at an accessible price point, while maintaining the quality, specification and reliability that our retailers expect. It gives them a collection that feels distinctive on the showroom floor and commercially robust in the long term.”

All baths in the collection are manufactured using a premium material combining high-quality acrylic with stone resin reinforcement. The material is selected for its durability, strength and refined surface finish, and is produced using advanced reverse-moulding technology to ensure a smooth, flawless result. Each bath is hand-finished and rigorously inspected prior to dispatch, supporting consistent quality and reducing issues at installation stage.

Despite their solid feel, the baths are weight-optimised to simplify handling and installation, making them suitable for a wide range of properties, including period homes and upper-floor bathrooms. All models are supplied in gloss white as standard, with the option for sanding and painting available across the range, allowing retailers to offer personalisation as an added-value upsell.

The AquaKast collection includes a broad mix of silhouettes, from compact oval and slipper designs to boat baths, back-to-wall and corner configurations. Practical details such as integrated tap ledges, discreet pipework recesses and space-saving sizes have been designed in from the outset, ensuring the range works equally well in smaller bathrooms as it does in larger schemes.

Reflecting on his return with a new collection, Barrie Cutchie adds: “This is my first new bath collection in several years, so it was important that it had purpose and longevity. Frontline felt like a natural partner because there is a clear respect for design, balanced with a strong understanding of how products need to perform in the real market. Together, we focused on creating baths that feel resolved, comfortable and timeless, without pushing them into a price bracket that limits who can specify them.”

All baths in the collection are priced at RRP £1,600 and supported by a lifetime guarantee, the AquaKast collection offers retailers a compelling proposition: exclusive designs, strong design credentials, reliable specification and a price point that broadens appeal. Available exclusively through Frontline retailers, the range underlines Aqua’s position as a design-led brand with a clear commercial focus.

BC Designs has launched three new additions to its Cian bath collection for bricks-and-mortar bathroom retailers. The showroom-exclusive launch recognises the need for margin protection and in-store expertise.

The new Westmere, Cavendish, and Highcroft baths will not be available to online-only sellers – a move that BC Designs says recognises the value of face-to-face specification, product knowledge and design-led selling that bricks-and-mortar retailers continue to provide.

All three designs sit within the established Cian range, BC Designs’ proprietary solid surface material known for its smooth finish, durability and suitability for contemporary and classic bathroom schemes alike, allowing retailers to offer sculptural freestanding baths that feel distinctive, premium and confidently specified, while remaining practical for everyday use and straightforward installation.

By restricting availability of Westmere, Cavendish and Highcroft to physical showrooms, BC Designs is giving retail partners:

  • A tangible point of difference on the shop floor
  • Protecting them from direct online price comparison
  • Enabling meaningful conversations with customers around material quality, design intent and long-term performance

Commenting on the launch, Adam Smith, national sales manager at BC Designs, says: “Independent bathroom retailers remain absolutely central to how we do business, and this launch is a very deliberate statement of support for the showroom network. Westmere, Cavendish and Highcroft have been developed exclusively for bricks-and-mortar partners to ensure they can offer products that customers cannot simply find online, compare on price and purchase without guidance.

“Physical retailers invest heavily in displays, product knowledge and the time it takes to help customers make confident, well-informed decisions, and we believe that level of expertise deserves genuine protection. By keeping these Cian baths off online platforms, we are helping our partners safeguard margins while also giving them something distinctive to build meaningful conversations around design, material quality and long-term performance.”

This launch also signals the start of a wider programme of retailer-first product development, with BC Designs confirming that further exclusive lines are already in progress and will be rolled out to bricks-and-mortar partners over the coming months, strengthening the proposition for showrooms looking to stand apart in an increasingly competitive market.

British bathroom brand Nôsa has unveiled a new range of sculptural acrylic and resin pieces, designed around the biggest bathroom trends of 2026: luxury statement baths, bold colour, and wellness-led design

The collection features lightweight acrylic shapes and luminous resin centrepieces, reflecting the growing trend for sculptural forms, rich colour, and serene, spa-like spaces. With hues like Black, Blue, Amber, Red, and Turquoise, the designs offer a striking way to elevate any bathroom with a focus on both style and wellbeing.

Nôsa is positioning itself as a key player in contemporary bathroom design, with its first showroom opening in Harrogate in November 2025.

Whether it’s a new build or a remodel, carefully designed, resource-efficient shower solutions will prepare your bathroom for the future, combining sustainability with lasting comfort.

We can expect a bathroom to last 15 to 20 years on average, so it’s important to keep the future in mind when planning today. For expert guidance, this means looking at sustainable solutions as a whole — from planning an accessible design and using long-lasting materials to overall efficiency in everyday use. Within the shower area, in particular, you can find a variety of different ways to combine functionality with environmental responsibility.

Sustainability starts with planning and smart product choices

An accessible, floor-level shower area is comfortable, convenient, and allows independent use even with physical limitations. The self-supporting Sustano shower tray, with its extremely low overall height of only 1.2 inches (30 mm), enables flush-mounted installation even in remodel projects with low floor heights. In addition to the low-profile, edge-free design for installation flush with the floor, the shower tray range comes in a variety of sizes for small and large bathrooms alike.

Sustano also has an attractive entry-level price and comes in six colour options for creative, individual bathroom design; it is especially suitable for remodel projects. DuroCast® Nature, a recyclable mineral composite material, offers a range of excellent features: it is lightweight and easy to handle and cut during installation, whilst being durable, easy to clean, pleasant to the touch, UVresistant, and slip-resistant on matte finishes.

Taps and showers that save water and energy
Bathroom-Review-Duravit-Shower-Systems-sustainable_showering

Whether designing a new bathroom or updating an existing one, innovative water-saving solutions are the preferred choice. They contribute to sustainable water use in the bathroom without compromising comfort. They also help lower your water and energy bills. Duravit’s MinusFlow feature can reduce water use by up to 40% with the overhead shower and up to 60% with the hand shower.

Modern thermostatic taps actively help reduce energy consumption by keeping the water at a constant temperature. The integrated HeatLock function, with a safety lock at 100°F (38°C), helps prevent energy waste and reliably protects against scalding.

Available in a variety of designs and finishes, Duravit’s shower systems feature a thermostat that is seamlessly integrated into the shower tap. They are also available with the MinusFlow feature, providing a resource-efficient, all-in-one solution that is easy to install — an appealing choice for bathroom remodels.

Freestanding baths continue to take centre stage in UK bathrooms, with homeowners increasingly seeking designs that combine sculptural appeal with everyday practicality. According to a recent Houzz trend report, the demand for standalone tubs has risen sharply as spaces become more focused on wellbeing, comfort and personal style. From Japandi calm to traditional English elegance, a freestanding bath remains the defining feature of a truly restorative bathroom.

Building on this continued appetite, BC Designs has introduced Westmere, a new addition to its Cian® solid surface collection. Following the success of the Senator bath, Westmere offers a softer, rounder interpretation that bridges traditional and contemporary design. Its generous, curved form feels equally at home in a period townhouse as it does in a modern renovation, reaffirming BC Designs’ reputation for creating timeless originals that evolve with the way we live. 

Cast from the brand’s signature Cian® material, Westmere delivers a beautifully smooth, high-gloss surface that’s durable, non-porous and easy to maintain. As with all Cian® baths, it can also be specified in the brand’s Colourkast finishes or painted externally to colour-match any interior palette, allowing complete design freedom.

At 1800mm in length and 855mm in width, Westmere offers a deep, indulgent bathing experience without dominating the room. The double-ended design provides comfort from every angle, while compatibility with both floor-standing and wall-mounted taps gives flexibility to suit any layout.

Available in polished white as standard and supported by a 10-year manufacturer’s guarantee, Westmere is a confident new addition to BC Designs’ expanding freestanding portfolio.

The Color Hotel Skagen has opened a new wing featuring Duravit’s minimalist Luv and ME by Starck ranges. Designed by Arkitema Architects and inspired by Skagen’s dune landscape, the 32-room boutique hotel features state-of-the-art rooms, a restaurant with regional cuisine, a wellness area with sauna and outdoor pool, plus a wide range of leisure activities.

Bathroom-Review-Referenz_Color_Hotel_-©-Color-Hotel-Skagen_

Constructed to deliver new spaces for relaxation and togetherness, its two new wings draw inspiration from the landscape, lending the building a clean architectural style. The hotel is situated where the North Sea meets the Baltic and is the largest hotel in the city.

The robust and energy-efficient building features dark formwork, combined with warm wood accents. Large windows offer stunning views of the dune landscape and are offset by balconies that complement the clean architectural language, lending transparency and lightness to the design. This approach is carried through into the interior, where the bathrooms combine serenity with natural materials. Duravit’s bathroom solutions complete the holistic concept.

Calm tones, clean shapes in the bathroom

Light natural stone tiles in greige and sand emphasise the Scandinavian character of the building. The bathtubs and above-counter basins from the Luv range combine homely warmth with clean forms. The wall-mounted toilets and vanity units from the ME by Starck range are a perfect match for this interior.

Space to arrive

The clean design continues in the rooms. Bright tones, ample daylight, and natural materials create a tranquil environment. Upholstered beds, rattan and fabric seating, and well-placed details, such as lamps and plants, help create a tranquil retreat that combines state-of-the-art- art comfort with the individual flair of a boutique hotel.
