8 Timeless Bathroom Remodel Ideas For 2025 And Beyond

As with every home remodel, for each new bathroom by August Collections, the materials are selected with precision. Nodding to Rome’s Renaissance era, Mallorca's earthy stone buildings and the purity of the French Alps, these bathroom remodel ideas celebrate Europe's finest regions and create timeless design intrigue.

‍

1. Flourishes Of Marble

‍

Marble appears in many of August’s bathroom renovations, and with Prime Collection homes in the making for 2025, we anticipate using even more of this rich material. A marble-topped vanity makes a beautiful part of a bathroom remodel, but for an even more exquisite finish, consider an entirely marble basin unit, rich with exaggerated veining to capture the essence of Italian classicism.

2. Embracing Organic Irregularities

‍

Your choice of tile can make a bathroom sing, and it is as much about the colour as it is about the format and finish. A gloss-finish tile like Zellige remains a classic and it is the perfect way to add dimension to a bathroom remodel. Its natural irregularities bring depth of colour without overcomplicating a design scheme, lifting even a neutral-coloured bathroom space. Add height and fine detail with small format, vertically placed Zellige wall tiles, for example, or consider a square format for a twist.

3. Ornate Detailing

‍

For a little definition, invite ornate detailing into a bathroom remodel. Be it through an intricately carved mirror or antique vanity unit, adding unique objects that highlight the bones of the space is a fine way to balance organic elements in the room, for a cohesive finish with layers of design interest.

A key part of keeping any space timeless is by carefully combining heirloom pieces with more contemporary features. The bathroom is a wonderful place to do this.

4. Balancing Materials

‍

Especially in large bathrooms, you have room to layer different design details, material finishes and more for a spectacular finish. You may have cotto tile on the floor, a Zellige tile shower enclosure and a plaster wall, for example, and this works as the bathroom is spacious and has ample room to breathe.

Consider where else materiality can elevate your bathroom space. Below we can see how an earthy granite basin adds cool tactility to a French Alps bathroom. The textured edge is kindly juxtaposed by a sleek antique plateau and wood-panelled surroundings, keeping this alpine space polished and contemporary. It is a masterclass for anyone wanting to create a charming chalet aesthetic with their bathroom remodel.

5. Art-filled Bathroom Walls

‍

Some might avoid artwork in a bathroom when actually it can bring unique personality to the space. See how the light colours featured in two framed pieces of artwork pick up on the elegant qualities of the stone tiles in a Mallorca bathroom below, giving a rich and curated finish.

Taking cues from Tuscany's verdant surroundings, Mallorca's rustic stones and France's provincial landscape that changes through the seasons, August bathroom remodels are not without colour, form and pattern. Tile is the perfect way to inject interesting textures and detail, while artwork, lighting and other bathroom accessories can lend a pop of warmth and colour too.

6. Earthy Hues

‍

A dash of earthy red in a bathroom brings warmth and energy, especially when part of a checkerboard floor tile pattern - it evokes a joie de vivre without being too overpowering. For even more serene surroundings that are in keeping with our interior design predictions for 2025, calming blue and green hues translate beautifully into a bathroom remodel. Be it just a splash or a full Zellige tile shower, a little can go a long way - especially when paired with neutral whites and natural-coloured furnishings.

7. Rich Wood Tones

‍

If you have inherited exposed beams in your bathroom remodel, restore them where possible to retain their inherent charm and to keep the architectural integrity of the space. If your bathroom is more of a blank canvas that wants definition, consider adding antique furniture in rich, heady colours for design flair and a dash of functionality.

8. Classic Checkerboard Tile Flooring

To pay homage to a classic tile configuration, a dusk rose and white checkerboard tile floor impresses in our Signature home in Tuscany, part of the Violettes Collection. See how it joyfully frames a roll-top bath when in black and white too, creating even more of a focal point in this Premium home in the French Alps.
