Bathroom Trends 2026: Soft Shapes, Clean Lines and Beautiful Details
In 2026, bathroom design is all about striking the perfect balance. The space should feel calm and inviting, while retaining the clean lines of the design, remaining functional and being easy to maintain in everyday life. Four key trends stand out in particular: soft, round shapes; handles in metal and wood; clean lines paired with elongated lighting; and black, matt glass shower enclosures. Together, these elements create a modern bathroom defined by calm, warmth, and personality.

Rounded Shapes: Organic Calm for Everyday Living
Rounded shapes continue into 2026 – and for good reason – they speak to the senses. Soft lines create a calm, welcoming atmosphere, whether in a compact guest bathroom or a spacious family bathroom. Think rounded furniture fronts, oval mirrors, gentle corners and soft shapes that allow the interior to flow naturally. The result is a design trend that makes the bathroom feel like a natural retreat – a space designed for everyday comfort and quiet moments.
Bringing the Trend to Life:
- Select a mirror with rounded edges to create a calming focal point in your bathroom.
- Choose furniture with soft, rounded details to bring warmth and balance to a structured interior.
- Combine soft, organic shapes with clean, simple surfaces to create a harmonious and balanced design.
That’s also why we now offer our popular Corona mirror in a larger size. With a diameter of Ø105 cm, this round mirror becomes a striking design element that brings calm, light and a touch of luxury to the bathroom.
Our new Plissé lamp is a perfect example of current design trends. Its soft, rounded form adds warmth and elegance, while the light provides a pleasant, atmospheric ambience. Use it on the wall or beside a mirror for everyday functional yet stylish lighting.
Mirror cabinets with rounded shapes
The Gloriance and Radience mirror cabinets embody this trend beautifully. Rounded corners soften the look, offering a more inviting alternative to classic boxy cabinets. Integrated lighting both inside and outside the cabinet ensures pleasant, even illumination whether the doors are open or closed. Edge lighting creates an improved working area at the basin for everyday tasks, while also enhancing the room’s overall mood and reducing harsh contrasts – a clear benefit by making daily routines more comfortable for everyone, particularly as we age.
A countertop with soft edges, made for comfort and safety.
Our Vintage countertop embraces the trend of rounded shapes with gently curved corners, adding warmth and a welcoming feel to the bathroom. While designed to complement our Vintage furniture, it also works beautifully with other Luna basin units. The rounded corners create a cohesive, harmonious look and make daily use safer and more comfortable.
Handles in Metal and Wood – Small Details, Big Impact
Handles are no longer just functional – in 2026, they are key design elements. Warm metal finishes and natural wood handles bring character and individuality to your bathroom, turning small details into a meaningful expression of style.
Muted surfaces with a soft, pleasant touch are increasingly popular. Handles in warm metals such as copper, bronze, and brass bring sophistication and comfort, while wooden handles evoke calm and natural beauty – reflecting the growing trend for materials with character and soul.
Our coat rack with optional knob style handles offers a smart way to work with this trend. The same handles can double as hooks, creating visual harmony across furniture and walls, thereby contributing to a calm, balanced and highly considered bathroom interior.
The knob handles can also be combined with small open modules or shelves, allowing you to decorate freely – for example with towels, baskets or personal items. In the Calidris series, the knobs are also available in veneer, further emphasising the natural and exclusive look.
Knob style handles work beautifully with small open modules or shelves, allowing you to style the space freely with towels, baskets and personal details. In the Calidris range the handles are also available in veneer, highlighting the natural materials and adding an extra layer of exclusivity.
Modern Design Ideas:
- Use metal or wooden handles as a recurring detail across furniture, taps and mirrors for a cohesive look.
- Pair warm wall colours such as terracotta, soft greens or off-white with handles in copper, bronze, brass or natural wood to create a harmonious and inviting bathroom.
- Treat handles as the bathroom’s jewellery – small, carefully chosen details that enhance even the most simple furniture.
Architectural Bathrooms with Clean Lines and Elongated Lighting
While 2026 embraces soft, organic shapes a clear countertrend is emerging: clean lines and a more architectural look - especially in lighting. Elongated lamps beside the mirror create a sleek, professional look while providing comfortable, functional lighting for everyday use. Control over brightness and colour temperature is becoming increasingly important, as lighting has a major impact on mood and well-being.
Choose our new elongated Linear lamp to emphasise symmetry and a sense of calm.
Pair with concealed storage and clean, simple surfaces to create a refined, hotel-inspired design.
Dimmable lighting allows the bathroom to transition effortlessly from functional morning light to calm, relaxing evening lighting.
Black Matt Glass in the Shower: A Soft Yet Striking Contrast
The shower enclosure is no longer just practical – it’s an integral part of the interior design. In 2026, we see increased focus on black and matt surfaces, as they create clear contrast and a calm, exclusive look – often offering more privacy than completely clear glass. At the same time, black details pair beautifully with both warm natural tones and cooler colours.
In 2026, the shower enclosure takes on a new role as a defining interior design feature. Black and matt surfaces are increasingly popular, offering a clear contrast, a sense of exclusivity and greater privacy than clear glass. Black details also mix effortlessly with both warm, natural materials and cooler, contemporary colours.
Tips for Achieving the Perfect Look:
Keep the rest of the shower area simple – large surfaces and minimal material changes allow the glass to define the space.
Repeat black in small details - such as handles or taps - to make it a deliberate design choice rather than a coincidence.
