The bathroom is an essential space in any home, so we’ve launched a new interior category focused on the room for Dezeen Awards 2025. Below are eight examples to inspire your entries.
These spa-like bathrooms, characterised by raw materials, earthy tones, statement tiles and custom sanitaryware, provide a private room to unwind in.
Keeping to a minimalist palette provides a sense of calm that draws attention to the sumptuous materials. From sleek marble finishes to ombre shower doors, these bathroom examples showcase an array of textural finishes, from previous longlisted or shortlisted projects in the Dezeen Awards archives.
