Trends for 2025 favored by the stylists at El Mueble
1. DARK COLORS TO ADD ELEGANCE
Traditional white bathrooms? Go for the complete opposite. Dark colors are the order of the day, and although they may not be perfect shades for rooms like the bedroom, in the bathroom they can add a lot of elegance and sophistication if you are looking for a modern ambience. The silent luxury they inspire is ideal for the brightest bathrooms. That’s why in 2025, colors like black, anthracite gray, brown, burgundy… have their place.
2. DON’T FORGET A BEAUTIFUL WALLPAPER
If you think your bathroom is lacking sparkle, it’s because you haven’t found the missing element yet: a good wallpaper! Even by choosing a discreet and subtle wallpaper, you can add a lot of dynamism and movement to this space. Look how much this bathroom has changed by adding a wallpaper with leaf motifs, the movement and depth are spectacular, right? What’s more, there are so many designs and shades to choose from that you can adapt the wallpaper to suit any bathroom decor.
3. STONE WALLS, THE MASSIVE TREND
In 2025, stone walls will play a key role among the most emerging trends. They have that timeless charm that means that, when they come back into fashion, it seems like they never went away (and the fact is that they never really went away at all). What’s more, whether you want to give your bathroom a rustic feel or give it personality while maintaining a more modern essence, stone walls will help you achieve a style that is different, original and full of personality.
4. BACK TO TILES, BUT STYLISH ONES
Just because tiles will be back in fashion in 2025, it doesn’t mean that the ones you have in your bathroom, stuck in time, are the most ideal. And the fact is that tiles are coming back, yes, but with an updated and stylish touch. For example, in a pastel color that contrasts with your furniture, with structures or shapes, such as herringbone, they will prevent your bathroom from falling into the monotony of the most recurrent and boring white.
5. MICROCEMENT, A PERFECT ALTERNATIVE
Due to its strength and durability, microcement has become a recurring material for integration in various spaces in our homes, especially in the bathroom. In addition, it adds a very sophisticated and elegant aesthetic, which you can integrate and combine with different decorative styles. Its versatility is another key to its success, and the truth is that it is an ideal and stylish way to avoid falling into the trap of traditional whites.
6. WOODEN CLADDING, PURE RUSTIC ESSENCE
White bathrooms are traditional because they are a safe bet for decoration. They adapt well to any space, light and style. However, you can play around much more with these spaces, turning them into stylish and very eye-catching corners. Look how beautiful this room in the house is, with its wooden cladding! It is so cozy and warm that, even without leaving the house, it transports us to a cabin in the middle of the forest. We love breathing in that natural essence.
7. IN NEUTRAL TONES AND WOOD, SIMPLE BUT STYLISH
If you don’t want to take too much of a risk but you want to change your bathroom so it’s not white and bland, try combining neutral tones and wooden furniture. It’s a way of maintaining simplicity and luminosity in the bathroom, with an extra touch of warmth that never fails or goes out of fashion. The best option for a beautiful, stylish bathroom that inspires calm and peace.
8. MARBLE TO BREAK WITH THE TRADITIONAL
Just because we are thinking of alternatives to white bathrooms, it doesn’t mean that we reject them. We can keep a white bathroom, bright and stylish, but break with the traditional. That’s why we suggest you integrate marble into your bathroom. It will maintain the essence you are looking for but will be much more stylish and less monotonous.
9. MIX OF MATERIALS
Playing with materials can also result in a very interesting and stylish bathroom. For example, try combining wallpaper, marble and wood. If you know how to choose the designs and maintain harmony between them, the result can be like this.
10. IN MOCHA MOUSSE, THE COLOR OF 2025
Of course, we couldn’t miss out on a bathroom in the color that will be all the rage in 2025: Mocha Mousse. The truth is that it gives a warm and very timeless air to our bathroom, and perhaps these characteristics have been the keys to its success. You won’t regret it!
