Flooring Superstore
Combining style with practicality has never been simpler when it comes to your flooring, and bathrooms are the perfect space to showcase your personality.
Alex Heslop, Trend Expert at Flooring Superstore, comments: “When choosing a new bathroom floor, start with the essentials - choose a material that’s durable, water-resistant, anti-slip, and easy to maintain, then use it as an opportunity to make a real design statement incorporating the latest trends. There are some key looks which are dominating interiors at the moment which are achievable, no matter your budget.”
Japandi-inspired bathroom flooring
“Japandi is the interior trend on everyone’s lips and it fuses simple Scandinavian design with Japanese elegance, bringing a calming feel into any interior. This works particularly well in a bathroom. Prioritise neutral colours and textures to create a serene space that feels comfortable and luxurious.”

Chequerboard
“While the classic monochrome checkerboard tiles continue to have a place in bathroom design, don’t be afraid to embrace different colour palettes such as soft neutrals and pastels to achieve a fresh take on this classic bathroom trend.”
Stone effect
“The beauty of natural stone with the added durability of LVT is a winning combination in busy bathrooms. Whether it be marble-effect, slate or limestone, we are seeing stone effect patterns continue to dominate bathroom design choices. A great way to add texture and depth to any bathroom aesthetic, stone effect also gives the sense of the outdoors while creating a cosy and warm space. Vinyl flooring options are a far more affordable way to get the statement look of stone, without the huge price tag and installation costs that porcelain and ceramic can carry.”

Tile drenching
“We all know about colour drenching but tile drenching takes that concept one step further, using a single tile design to cover the floor and walls in your bathroom. It creates a striking and immersive appearance and can make smaller bathrooms feel much larger, especially when using large format tiles. It’s also extremely practical for moisture-prone bathrooms, effectively creating a wet room with both the walls and floors protecting from water damage.”
Wood-effect
“While traditional hardwood can be prone to water damage in bathrooms, Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) look and feel like the real thing, with the added durability that is needed. LVT is easy to maintain, perfect for high traffic areas, and with added waterproof and slip proof properties, it’s bound to suit both contemporary and classic bathroom designs.”
