Modern bathroom coverings: interior design with nature-inspired surfaces
The latest trends indicate a return to material effects inspired by nature, to create surprising and more and more sustainable design schemes.
The bathroom is evolving beyond the merely functional and becoming a space where tastefully combined surfaces, colours and finishes are essential.
So the trend for modern bathroom coverings embraces a return to nature, with decorative tiles that evoke authentic, primordial materials like wood and marble.
These products are real stylistic declarations of intent, able to offer a unique sensory experience, creating attractive, visually harmonised interiors. Aesthetic appeal goes hand-in-hand with versatility and excellent functional features: convenience, durability, resistance to water and easy cleaning.
Below, we’ll take a look at different interior design options possible with the new 2024/2025 trends for modern bathroom coverings.
Designing a trendy bathroom with nature-inspired material effects
The 2024/2025 bathroom trends capture the essence of natural materials like marble and wood to beautify interiors with durable, easy-care surfaces that still provide great creative freedom.
The joy of nature is the unifying theme of this trend, together with a new awareness that delivers aesthetics with practical features to suit the most widely varying contexts.
The inspirations for decorative tiles confirm the fashion for small sizes, with a new, modern interpretation for relief wall decorations in which small brick wall tiles add value to both contemporary designs and classical looks. Brick tiles in 6x24 cm and 7.5x60 cm sizes permit very original compositions, with creative use of shades that range:
- from glossy and juicy colours
- to matt and pastel shades,
- the most exciting marble effect,
- the charming neutral colours,
- and the wood effect
For example, if you wish to design a daring, glamorous interior, use bright colours to build unexpected chromatic harmonies, experimenting with variegated colour schemes and surprising combinations.
Combining small tiles with larger solutions is another original, attractive option.
If you’re renovating your bathroom or working on an exciting new design project, porcelain stoneware large slabs are an excellent solution for creating visual continuity and a striking interior.
Discovering modern marble-effect bathrooms
Marble-effect porcelain stoneware wall tiles are a magnificent, convenient. addition to any bathroom interior design project.
This ceramic product’s stylistic versatility has grown enormously in the last few years and the “standard” surfaces are now being alternated with a new range based on small sizes, with the brick playing the starring role.
One example is the Scultorea collection, which combines the eternal beauty of classical art with marble-look decorative tiles in the brick size, with variants ranging from white to intense greys through to deep black with diamond veining.
In this form, the marble effect enables infinite personalisations, creating dynamism with traditional laying patterns like straight-line layouts or more creative compositions such as the chevron herringbone.
The reassuring beauty of a wood-effect bathroom
The wood-effect ceramic bathroom is a hard-wearing, durable solution able to interpret a variety of styles- from the most traditional to the most modern - and provide a reassuring beauty immune to time and fashions.
