The top 10 most popular bathroom colours of 2025
Search data analysis has revealed which bathroom colours are predicted to be most popular in 2025, and the results show just how finely balanced we all are in our approach to colour.
Neither the classic neutrals like white and grey, nor the cheerful brights like yellow and blue have a monopoly in our homes, although we were pleasantly surprised to see pink bathrooms land in third place albeit two spots behind a more predictable black and white.
“Bathrooms can often be left behind when one wants to inject colour into the home, with many choosing white suites and fixtures," says Hayley Bowman, Marketing Manager at Frontline Bathrooms. "However, 2024 was the year of embracing vibrancy and maximalism, with retro hues enjoying a much-anticipated comeback and rightfully taking a moment in the spotlight."

Black and white
"Every room needs at least a bit of black to ground the space," says Suzanne Duin, interior designer and founder of Maison Maison, and nowhere is this more evident than in a white bathroom. White surfaces – radiators, baths, toilets, tiles etc. – feel so bright and clean, but can look sterile without any contrast. Black is the antidote here, and the two are a totally failsafe combination.
Green
This bathroom makes a great case for saturating your surfaces in a single colour – several of Burlington's tubs can be spruced up with acrylic-based paints, so too can UPVC window frames.
"When you want to breathe some life into your bathroom, you can use softer shades of green to achieve a fresh and peaceful feel," says Anjelica Delfino from Valspar Paint. "Soft greens and pastels work well for a more relaxing approach if you like to take plenty of long baths to unwind."
Pink
Do away with any visions of sickly pastels – rich and chalky pinks can be warm and earthy and reminiscent of the Mediterranean. Choose subtle dusk shades for a room that looks permanently bathed in sunlight.

White
“Neutral décor in the bathroom has always been popular, and even more so in smaller spaces," says Ruth Foster, interior designer at Victoria Plum.
"Adopting light shades like cream and white will create a lighter and brighter bathroom, making it appear larger than it really is. If you keep this in mind when choosing the colour of your wall and floor tiles, you can create a warm and harmonious design with timeless elegance."
Grey
Grey may conjure images of sleek and contemporary bathrooms, but it works equally well in rustic spaces. The undertones in your grey can make all the difference – the lilac undertones here feel delicate, and beige or pink undertones can make a lovely putty shade.
"Classic colours like grey will remain popular choices for bathrooms, but greys will shift into softer and warmer shades that blend both beige and grey tones," says Julie Gokce, Senior Bathroom Designer at More Bathrooms.
Blue
"The boldness and warmth found in blue will continue to be prominent in our homes," says Martin Waller, founder of Andrew Martin.
"Start your transformation in a cloakroom or small bathroom, since richer colours work well in such spaces, despite the accepted wisdom that white paint makes a room seem larger."
Dark green
Dark green offers just enough colour without the commitment of bolder brights. "Darker shades of green will help to give depth and warmth to a space while making the space feel inviting," says Anjelica. "The deep tones blend effortlessly with wooden surfaces and neutral tile flooring too."

Black
You may balk at the idea of using black paint in a bathroom, but dark colours can be an asset wherever you struggle with natural light.
"Dark colours can be a great idea for small and poorly lit rooms because you are playing to the limitations of natural light, rather than fighting against them," says Michael Rolland, MD of The Paint Shed. "Combined with the right textures and finishes, dark paint can often create a cosy, calm space with a moody undertone."

Beige
Beige feels like a safe choice, but it can be deceptively difficult to get right – a wash of beige can be appealing, but it can also look a little insipid without sufficient contrast. Here, the dark wood and terracotta flooring offer just the right amount of balance.

Yellow
“If you’re looking to bringing a slice of yellow galore to a specific room in the house, my first suggestion would be the bathroom," says Marianne Shillingford, Creative Director at Dulux.
"Much like your favourite lemony shower gel, zaps of yellow paint in this space can kick your day off with a lightning bolt of energy and refreshment."
