11 bathroom color ideas for 2025
1. Avocado green in various shades
Many of 2025’s bathroom color ideas hark back to trends of the past. Popular in the 70s, green bathrooms are making a comeback. From bright avocado to soft olives, the green bathrooms of 2025 are a modern take on an old trend.
Kathryn Christi’s green wood panelling gives her bathroom a cosy feeling. The green makes a statement while the cream walls create a beautiful balance. Two-toned walls are a great way of incorporating a bold bathroom color into your space without feeling too overwhelmed.

Feminine bathrooms are back, and they’re trending all over TikTok. Blush pinks, light mauves and pastels create delicate, airy spaces, reminiscent of a traditional powder room.

3. Jewel-toned bathroom color ideas
Give your bathroom a touch of opulence by painting a jewel-toned accent wall. Regal purples, emerald greens, and deep sapphires create a luxe look without breaking the bank.
The paint color Kate's Ring by Valspar encapsulates the jewel-toned trend perfectly. The cool-toned royal blue walls with gold accessories give the bathroom a sophisticated feel.
4. Mocha mousse
Pantone’s colour of the year for 2025, mocha mousse, is an inviting, warm shade of brown that looks gorgeous in bathrooms. Painted as an accent wall or included via tiling, this comforting colour will create a space you’re excited to relax and unwind in.
5. Earthy-toned tiles
This bathroom color idea is inspired by this incredible tiled bathroom, photographed by AD Middle East. The earthy-toned tiles work beautifully, creating a calming atmosphere that’s full of character.
Wall-to-floor tiling is a trend we’re set to see more of this year, and not just in earthy tones. We will be seeing jewel colours, patterned designs, and the combination of different tiling styles (herringbone, honeycomb, etc.) throughout 2025 and into 2026.

6. Small bathroom color ideas
Just because your bathroom is small doesn’t mean you have to miss out on all the trends we’ve mentioned so far. Simply use lighter shades – for example, opt for warm creams rather than cold greys and light olives instead of emerald greens.
Create a color palette that will help open up your space as opposed to one which makes it feel dark and cramped. The neutral yet warming tone of Fifi McGee’s small bathroom maximises the windows' light, creating a spacious feel.

For a spa-like bathroom, opt for trendy limewashed walls. Creams, stone, light greys and rusted pinks are all gorgeous limewash options. For smaller bathrooms, go for lighter limewash colors.

Light blues are a timeless bathroom color, and the range of shades available makes it a great option. For 2025, we’re loving the reappearance of seagrass blue, which turns a plain room into a serene space.
