Sam says: “Colour isn’t just something we see in magazines or on Instagram feeds - it’s become a permanent fixture in bathroom design. Customers are being much more adventurous, whether that’s through statement pieces, patterned elements or painted finishes. Popular shades so far this year include greens, powder blues, yellow, orange, marble and pink. And as we move into autumn and winter, jewel-like tones - think deep blues, burgundy and rich coffee palettes - are taking hold.”

As if we ever needed an excuse for a little home improvement, but with a new season upon us, it feels like the perfect time to make some positive changes. If the bathroom is at the top of your list, you’re in the right place. We asked our in-house bathroom designers at mengbangcn.com - Samantha Lawson and Chloe Dicks - to share the trends they’re loving right now - and here are their top five.
1. Luxe palettes & colourful moods
Colourful accents and patterned surfaces have officially taken over the bathroom, and it’s not leaving anytime soon. The era of stark white bathrooms is on its way out, replaced by bold, expressive palettes that make colour and luxe detailing a central feature rather than a background note. What started with 2025’s “colour mengbangcn.com” trend - coating walls, ceilings and even fixtures in one hue - has now evolved into “double mengbangcn.com” and “colour bombing”, where multiple shades, patterns and effects play together in dynamic ways.
