Bathroom design in 2026 has moved on from the cold, clinical look. Across Bromley, Kent and South East London, homeowners planning a bathroom renovation are choosing warmer, calmer and more sophisticated spaces, where every element feels intentionally designed rather than simply installed. The latest trend is seamless, integrated design, where showers, vanity units, basins, storage and architectural details are all created to work together as one.
Here are the four features our clients ask for most, and where our bespoke approach makes the biggest difference.
At Jikka, attention to detail is not just a slogan. It defines the way we work. Much of what we create is completely bespoke. We design, draw, manufacture and install custom vanity units, integrated basins, bathroom furniture and architectural features that simply cannot be bought off the shelf. That is the difference between a bathroom that looks fitted and one that feels professionally designed.
1. Bigger walk-in showers
The most common request we receive is for a larger walk-in shower. Many homeowners are replacing baths that are rarely used with spacious walk-in showers featuring frameless glass screens, low-profile trays or fully waterproofed wet room installations.
Besides making the room feel larger, this creates a more practical and comfortable bathroom for everyday use. However, achieving a flawless result depends on proper waterproofing, drainage falls and careful installation. These are details that cannot be rushed, and they are exactly where experience matters most.
2. Seamless integrated design: bespoke basins, tiled vanity units and terrazzo
One of the defining luxury bathroom trends of 2026 is seamless, integrated design. Rather than mixing different materials and standalone furniture, homeowners are choosing bathrooms where everything appears to be made from one continuous surface.
We create fully integrated vanity units and bespoke basins using porcelain slabs, marble-effect porcelain, natural stone or terrazzo. Instead of placing a standard sink on top of a cabinet, the basin itself becomes part of the design, perfectly matched to the vanity, walls or shower. The result is a clean, monolithic appearance that feels calm, elegant and timeless.
Our basins are made to measure rather than purchased from a catalogue. Every piece is designed specifically for the room, allowing us to create proportions, layouts and finishes that are simply unavailable with standard bathroom furniture.
Terrazzo continues to be one of the most popular materials for premium bathrooms. Its distinctive texture adds warmth and character while working beautifully alongside modern porcelain surfaces. Whether you choose terrazzo or porcelain, we can fabricate bespoke basins, vanity tops and integrated features that give your bathroom a completely individual look.
These installations require careful planning for waterproofing, servicing access and structural support, which is why they are rarely offered as part of a standard bathroom installation.
3. Bespoke bathroom furniture, made to measure
Every bathroom is different, and standard furniture rarely makes the best use of the available space.
We design custom vanity units, cabinets and storage specifically for each project. Everything is measured, drawn, manufactured and installed to suit your room perfectly. Whether you have an awkward alcove, a sloping ceiling or a particular design vision, bespoke furniture allows every centimetre to be used intelligently while maintaining a clean, balanced appearance.
This level of customisation is one of the biggest differences between a standard bathroom installation and a truly bespoke renovation.
4. Concealed details that complete the design
Luxury bathrooms today are becoming quieter visually. The goal is not simply to hide things, but to remove unnecessary visual clutter so the materials themselves become the focus.
We can install tileable flush plates, concealed access panels, tiled extractor fan covers, recessed niches and integrated accessories that blend almost invisibly into the surrounding porcelain or stone. Soap niches, shelving and other functional details become part of the architecture rather than separate additions.
These features may seem small individually, but together they create the seamless appearance that defines modern high-end bathrooms. They also require careful planning to ensure proper ventilation, servicing access and long-term reliability without compromising the overall design.

Frequently asked questions
Are walk-in showers still popular in 2026?
Yes. Larger walk-in showers continue to be the most requested feature, often replacing baths that are rarely used.

Absolutely. Terrazzo remains one of the strongest bathroom trends for 2026, offering warmth, texture and a distinctive appearance that works beautifully in both contemporary and minimalist interiors.
Can flush plates and access panels be tiled over?
Yes. We install tileable flush plates, concealed access panels and extractor fan covers so they blend seamlessly into the finished wall while remaining fully serviceable.
