Bathrooms are no longer designed as purely functional spaces. As we move into 2026, we are seeing a clear shift in how homeowners approach bathroom planning, prioritizing comfort, personal expression, and long-term value. What was once an afterthought has now become a design statement, reflecting lifestyle choices and evolving aesthetic preferences.
At Jaquar, we closely observe global design movements, homeowner behaviour, and architectural trends. A defining characteristic of 2026 is a growing demand for premium bathrooms that balance visual elegance with everyday practicality. From the choice of sanitaryware to colours, forms, and materials, every element is now carefully considered to create a refined yet functional space.
This blog explores some key bathroom trends shaping 2026 and how thoughtful sanitaryware choices can transform modern homes.
Sanitaryware Trends Shaping Premium Bathrooms in 2026
Let us explore the top trends of premium sanitaryware in 2026:
1. Colour Trends
While classic white sanitaryware remains a dependable option, 2026 is seeing a shift toward subtle, muted tones and expressive pastels that add character without overwhelming the space.
Ice Blue: Calm and Contemporary
Ice blue has emerged as a favourite for premium bathrooms. It brings the tranquillity of water and sky together, creating a soothing ambience that’s perfect for relaxation. Ice blue works exceptionally well with white, grey and chrome finishes, giving a modern yet calming feel.
Applications include:
- Ice blue wash basin ideal for compact powder rooms or guest bathrooms
- Accent wall tiles with coordinated ice blue sanitaryware
- Matching towels and accessories for a cohesive palette
This colour pairs beautifully with minimalist decor, natural wood finishes and matte black accents, making it a versatile choice for interiors.
Beige: Warmth Meets Elegance
Beige is another trending tone that adds warmth and subtle richness to bathroom spaces. It is less stark than white, offering an inviting, spa-like feel. Beige sandy tones work particularly well with natural materials like stone, wood and textured ceramics.
Beige looks sophisticated when used in:
- Larger washrooms with neutral floor tiles
- Wall mounted wash basin units that create clean, uninterrupted lines
- Contrasted against darker hardware for visual depth
This colour trend supports a timeless aesthetic that remains premium without feeling cold or clinical.
2. Forms
In 2026, bathroom forms are guided by simplicity, ergonomics, and fluid integration. Curves and soft lines are preferred over sharp, angular profiles, promoting a sense of flow and ease.
Clean Lines and Minimalist Profiles
Bathrooms are moving towards minimalism, where fixtures and fittings follow clear, uncluttered lines. Clean geometries are not only visually appealing but also easier to maintain and keep hygienic.
Examples include:
- Sleek wash basins that visually expand space
- Integrated furniture with concealed plumbing
- Floating vanities and shelving that enhance the perception of open space
These design choices are particularly impactful in smaller bathrooms where every line and surface contributes to a feeling of lightness and openness.
Soft Organic Curves
Curved edges and organic forms soften the look of hard spaces. Think gentle basin contours, rounded mirror frames, and flowing cabinetry profiles that create a welcoming and user-friendly environment.
A softly curved small wash basin can be a perfect focal point, especially when accompanied by matching accessories and lighting that accentuate its shape.
3. Materials
The choice of material plays a crucial role in both performance and appearance. In 2026, premium bathrooms favour materials that are not only robust but also visually harmonious.
Premium Ceramics for Sanitaryware
Ceramic remains the most popular material for sanitaryware, blending durability, ease of cleaning and visual purity. However, the finish, texture and colour options have expanded.
Modern choices include:
- High-gloss ceramic for a polished, reflective look
- Matte or soft-touch finishes for a more contemporary feel
- Coloured ceramic in ice blue, beige and other muted tones
These options make it easier to personalise your bathroom while maintaining a premium, high-quality finish.
Textured Tiles and Natural Stone
Textured wall and floor tiles add depth and tactile interest to bathroom surfaces. Natural stone, such as marble and travertine, brings an organic quality that complements both warm and cool colour schemes.
When paired with coloured sanitaryware or clean white fixtures, textured materials elevate the overall design without overpowering the space.
Wood and Engineered Wood Finishes
Wood continues to be a strong trend for cabinetry, shelving and decorative accents. In bathrooms, engineered wood or treated timber offers moisture resistance while retaining the natural warmth and grain that balance colder surfaces like tile and ceramic.
4. Spatial Solutions
Modern bathrooms must be both functional and visually expansive, even in compact homes. Designers in 2026 are adopting spatial strategies that make efficient use of every inch.
Wall Mounted Fixtures
Wall mounted wash basin installations free up floor space, creating an illusion of openness. With hidden plumbing and sleek under-basin areas, wall mounted systems make cleaning easier and maintain a minimalist aesthetic.
Wall mounted toilets and vanities follow the same principle, allowing light and sightlines to extend uninterrupted across the room.
Compact Sanitaryware Choices
For secondary bathrooms, powder rooms or guest washrooms, a small wash basin is a practical yet stylish choice. These compact basins provide full functionality without dominating the space, making them ideal for modern apartments and multi-use areas.
