2. Going digital: Ecology is a big trend and these days, digital bathroom products help users to have a better showering experience while reducing water consumption.

3. Colour accents: Companies are increasingly introducing neutral shades into the bathroom on elements such as showerheads and soft furnishings such as towels.
4. Three-dimensional: Patterns on tiles are coming out in relief, a trend that's also seen in furniture.
5. Big to bigger: Architects and designers are affording the bathroom more space. Consumers are demanding it as they start to realise that properties with impressive bathrooms sell better.
