Is your goal for the new year to get your bathroom in better shape? Bathrooms are some of the busiest and most hard-working rooms in our homes, and as the years roll by wear and tear sets in and styles fade.

Built to Last

Ironically our first trend is a bit of an anti-trend. With many customers planning to be in their homes long term and wanting the style of the bathroom to remain timeless with a sense of quiet luxury.


In step with this there is a trend towards incorporating features that will be helpful/beneficial as we get into our later years. This application of universal design could include non slip flooring, curbless walk in showers, wider doorways and grab bars.

Bold Tiles Steal the Spotlight

While we all know tiles to be a functional feature in many bathrooms, in 2024 we will see the rise of tiles that are just as beautiful as they are functional. Say goodbye to plain square tiles and hello to bold colours, bold patterns and funky shapes. Given tiles are so practical this trend can be used for a backsplash, as a statement floor or as your wall finish. The options are endless.

Playful Wallpapers

Bathrooms are a great space to express your personality and do something bold and what better way to do so than with a bold, bright or whimsical wallpaper. With so much variety out there you are sure to find something that speaks to you! Falling in love with a wallpaper can be a great jumping off point that will help inform the rest of your material and fixture decisions.

Self-Expression & Authenticity

Another anti-trend trend that we will always stand behind is ignoring the trends and designing your bathroom in a style that brings you joy and reflects YOUR sense of style, or perhaps keeps in the style of your home. If you have an older house with beautiful character features throughout, a sleek minimalist bathroom may not be the right fit.


In 2023 we proudly launched Concepts by Pzazz which provides you with designer curated and builder approved bathroom renovation packages that aren’t afraid to lean into a style. From Mid Century Modern to Boho with lots in between – click here to check out the range.

Subway Tiles ...But Stacked

Of course subway tiles are hardly a new trend with the traditional horizontal brick lay pattern even featuring on a few ‘trends we are saying goodbye to in 2024’ articles. But hope isn’t lost for this tile staple – instead arrange them vertically and stack them inline with each other. This is the perfect blend of a timeless tile and a modern trend. We also see a lean towards hand moulded tiles that aren’t completely flat for a more soft, organic feel.

Smart Toilets

I can only speak for myself but I give thanks for the invention of the flushing toilet everyday! But should we expect more from our toilets? High tech toilets with features such as automatic lids, warming seats and self-cleaning features are becoming more and more popular. As these products come on the market ask yourself can you put a price on the marital peace that comes with a toilet lid that puts itself down?

The Return of the Medicine Cabinet

This feature which is typical of older home is making a comeback, the perfect solution to keep your countertops clutter free. For those unlearned, a medicine cabinet is typically a vanity mirror that has a cupboard behind it for storing medicines, cosmetics and the like. They are a great way to add easier to access storage to your bathroom and more and more styles are coming on the market. A trick to take the space saving even further is to recess the cabinet into the wall so it looks like a regular wall mounted mirror – but with a secret.

Who is your home built for? Traditionally, homes have been built for Joe and Jill Average and their family of 2.5 kids. But what happens if Jill’s elderly mother comes to live with them, Joe is disabled by a car accident and the kids leave home? More and more of us are now realising that our homes should be designed for access and use by everyone, regardless of age, lifestyle or physical condition, and that it actually pays to take Universal Design into account when renovating.
