The Gold Coast is known for its coastal elegance and relaxed luxury, and bathroom renovations are evolving to reflect this unique lifestyle. Whether you’re updating a small ensuite or transforming a main bathroom, these five trends will elevate your space in 2025.
1. Natural & Textured Materials
Bringing nature indoors is a key trend for 2025, with organic textures and earthy tones creating a spa-like feel.
How to incorporate it:
• Choose timber vanities or wood-look finishes to add warmth.
• Use matte or brushed finishes for a softer, more natural aesthetic.
2. Statement Tapware & Fixtures
While classic chrome remains a staple, more homeowners are opting for bold tapware finishes that add personality and contrast.
Trending finishes:
• Brushed gold and brass for a touch of elegance.• Matte black for a sleek, modern look.
• Brushed nickel for a softer, timeless feel.
3. Open Plan Showers & Wet Rooms
Seamless, open showers continue to gain popularity, especially in homes with a contemporary aesthetic. Frameless glass and barrier-free designs create a spacious, luxurious feel.
Why it’s trending:
• Maximises space in smaller bathrooms.• Enhances accessibility with a step-free shower entry.
• Creates a seamless, modern aesthetic with floor-to-ceiling tiling.
4. Smart & Functional Lighting
Lighting is no longer just about practicality—it’s a design feature that enhances ambience and usability.
Key lighting trends:
• Backlit mirrors for a soft, diffused glow.• LED strip lighting in niches and vanities for a modern touch.
• Dimmer switches to create adaptable lighting for day and night.
5. Freestanding Bathtubs as a Feature
A freestanding bath remains a sought-after luxury in Gold Coast homes, acting as the centrepiece of any bathroom.
How to choose the right one:
• Oval or curved designs for a softer, organic look.• Matte or stone finishes for a contemporary edge.
• Placement near a window or under a skylight to create a spa-like retreat.
