GROHE unveils 2025 design trends shaping bathrooms & kitchens

As the design landscape continues to evolve, understanding consumer desires and expectations is key to developing innovative, human-centric solutions. Sanitaryware and kitchen fittings manufacturer GROHE has identified three key macro-trends that will define home interiors over the next year and beyond, as well as the microtrends influencing colours, textures, materials, and shapes.

Lewis Neathey, leader of product management for LIXIL EMENA and GROHE UK, explains how experiential design, personalisation, and sustainability are shaping trends, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom spaces.

Experiential design

With a growing focus on well-being, the bathroom is evolving from a functional space to a sanctuary for relaxation and mindfulness. This shift emphasizes not just the product, but the experience itself. The introduction of GROHE’s Satin finish and products like the GROHE Rainshower Aqua Pure shower (which features an integrated filter to purify water), exemplify this shift towards wellness-focused designs.

Sustainability

Sustainability remains at the forefront of design trends. The “Evergreen” trend sees earthy greens, browns, and creams take centre stage, while biophilic designs and eco-conscious fittings are becoming a staple in homes. As we approach 2025, colour trends such as Pantone’s Mocha Mousse and WGSN’s ‘Transformative Teal’ will reflect the ongoing societal shift toward conscious living. Sustainability goes beyond colour, with a growing demand for eco-friendly features like water-efficient fixtures and recycled materials. GROHE’s Cubeo basin mixer, equipped with EcoJoy technology, is an example of such innovations.

Personalisation & customisation

Personalised design continues to gain prominence as consumers seek bathrooms and kitchens tailored to their needs and preferences. Customisable options for layout, fixtures, and finishes allow users to craft unique spaces that reflect their style and enhance daily living. Recent findings from a European GROHE study reveal that over 40% of respondents prioritise design and ambience in their bathrooms. GROHE’s Atrio and Allure Private Collections offer this trend with customisable finishes and handles in collaboration with premium quartz surface provider, Caesarstone.

Consumers are also looking for personalised experiences, with customisable shower settings and smart toilet systems offering tailored options that enhance comfort and convenience.

As we move into 2025, these trends underscore a shift towards thoughtful design that prioritises well-being, sustainability, and individuality, shaping the future of bathroom and kitchen interiors.
