Top 5 Bathroom Design Trends for 2026: From "Look" to "Feel"

The year 2026 marks a global paradigm shift in interior design. The era of "sterile" white bathrooms and cold gloss has finally passed. Leading architectural bureaus of the world have announced a course towards "Sensory Design". The bathroom is no longer just a technical room — it is a place for mental resource recovery, where every detail works for relaxation.

The Antey team has collected the 5 main trends of 2026 that will help create a relevant interior that will not become outdated for the next 10 years.

Trend #1. "Raw Earth": The Power of Unprocessed Texture

In 2026, perfectly smooth surfaces give way to "honest" materials. In fashion — imitation of raw stone, travertine, rocky breeds, and clay. This is the so-called "Raw Earth" trend. It adds monumentality and natural tranquility to the interior.

Inspiro stone-effect porcelain stoneware in bathroom interior 2026, Raw Earth trend

Solution from "Antey": Large-format porcelain stoneware Inspiro, I.TILES, and Refin with the texture of natural onyx or concrete. Thanks to formats 120x60 and 120x280 cm, you can create the effect of a monolithic rock, where seams are almost invisible.

Trend #2. "Soft Curves": Smooth Lines and Arched Forms

Sharp corners cause subconscious tension, so designers are massively abandoning square sanitary ware in favor of bionic, rounded shapes. Arched mirrors, oval bathtubs, and cylindrical faucets make the space softer and safer.

Oval bathtub and rounded sanitary ware Imprese, Soft Curves trend

Solution from "Antey": Sanitary ware collections Imprese, Roca, and Villeroy & Boch (freestanding oval bathtubs made of cast stone) and Hansgrohe Vivenis faucet series, where the water flow resembles a natural waterfall, fit perfectly into this concept.

Trend #3. "Quiet Luxury Metals": Warm Metals Instead of Chrome

Classic chrome in 2026 gives way to the "quiet luxury" of warm metals. Brushed Gold, Nickel, Copper, and Gunmetal become the main accents. They look expensive but not flashy, and water marks are less visible on them.

Imprese faucets in brushed gold and nickel finish

Solution from "Antey": Faucets and shower systems Imprese in PVD coating (gold, nickel, graphite). This coating is not only stylish but also extremely resistant to scratches.

Trend #4. "Tactile Walls": Walls You Want to Touch

Visual effect is no longer enough. Tiles in 2026 must be pleasant to the touch. 3D reliefs, flutes (vertical stripes), fabric or wood effects — all this creates a play of light and shadow, adding depth to the interior.

Relief 3D tiles for bathroom, tactile design

Solution from "Antey": Innovative 3D collections from Del Conca (Dynamica technology) and relief tiles Ragno. This is the best way to make an accent wall without using bright colors.

Trend #5. "Smart Spa": Technologies of Invisible Comfort

Technologies in the bathroom are becoming "invisible" but indispensable. Electronic toilets, thermostats that maintain the ideal temperature, touch control — this is no longer the future, but the comfort standard of 2026.

Smart bidet toilet Volle and thermostat Imprese

Solution from "Antey": Intelligent bidet toilets Volle and Villeroy & Boch, concealed thermostatic systems Imprese. They turn routine procedures into a real spa ritual.

Conclusion

Bathroom 2026 is about the balance of nature and technology. Don't be afraid to experiment with textures and warm shades. In the Antey assortment, you will find all the components to create a trendy interior.
