With no shortage of magazines, influencers and social media sites for consumers to turn to for inspiration, home interiors trends move fast these days – and bathrooms are no exception. As an installer, you may find it tough to keep up with your clients’ demands for the most fashionable bathroom features and styles.
Luckily, we’ve taken a deep dive into Google search trend data to discover what your customers have been searching for recently, so you can get ahead of the most popular and up-and-coming bathroom styles in your region this year.
England
For installers doing business in England, showers are at the top of the agenda for trend-aware clients. Consumers are searching for high-tech options that deliver a smarter showering experience, and the modern furnishings to match.
Mixer showers
Bathroom renovators across England are keen on showers that get the temperature balance just right. In fact, the search term “mixer shower” has remained consistently popular over the past five years, especially in the south of the country in areas including Cambridgeshire, Warwickshire, and London.
Ensure your clients reap the benefits of precise thermostatic control, with Mira’s mixer showers in a range of models and finishes.
Smart showers
Some homeowners are ready to take things even more high-tech for their bathroom refresh. Searches for “smart showers” have taken a huge hike over the past month, suggesting your clients might be ready to take their showering experience to the next level.
Why not suggest Mira’s range of digital showers, complete with smart controls and customisable presets?
Integrated mirrors
High-tech bathrooms need sleek modern furnishing to match, and mirrors are the top of the agenda for English bathroom renovators. Over the past couple of years, Google Trends noted several spikes in searches for “integrated mirrors”, suggesting bathroom vanity units that include a mirror are in steady demand.
Black bathroom paint
Homeowners in England may be embracing a darker, cosier feel for their bathroom upgrades. Searches for “black bathroom paint” have risen over the past month in this part of the nation. This may be a reflection of minimal and industrial styles rising in popularity.

Wales
Welsh home renovators have a very distinct taste in bathroom style. Unlike people living in England and Scotland, these consumers are showing a preference for more traditional touches.
Free-standing baths
From roll-top tubs to sleek modern models, free-standing baths are ideal for bathrooms with a little more space to play with. Welsh consumers are clearly embracing the opportunity, as searches for “free standing bath” have spiked several times in the past five years, and after a short dip in interest in 2023, they look set to rise back to popularity again this summer.
Recommend the Mira Flight free-standing bath to your next client – it’s the perfect free-standing bath for any renovation style.
Rustic bathrooms
A newer trend that’s influencing bathroom renovators in Wales is for more rustic bathrooms that take inspiration from kitsch traditional country interiors and nature. The search term “rustic bathroom” is just starting to spike, giving installers in the region a chance to get ahead of the trend.
One way to add that rustic charm to your next client’s bathroom renovation is with some heritage-inspired taps. Offer the Mira Virtue range for a refined finish.
Ceramic tiles
In keeping with the traditional style that Welsh homeowners seem to favour, ceramic tiles are also experiencing enduring popularity. This durable and versatile material is ideal for both floors and walls and comes in a range of styles and colours to suit all tastes. Spikes in searches for “ceramic tiles” have occurred consistently over the last five years, suggesting this bathroom favourite isn’t fading from popularity as trends evolve.
Pair your next client’s choice of ceramic tiles with the perfect Mira shower enclosure to match.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms offer your clients enhanced accessibility for their bathroom experience, while also creating a stylish look and premium feel. Welsh homeowners are especially enamoured with the wet room trend, as searches for the term “wet room” from the country have risen significantly this year.
Mira’s range of wet room screens and walk-in shower enclosures make achieving a seamless and contemporary look easy, whether your client wants a disability-accessible bathing area or just loves the walk-in look.
