Creating a beautiful bathroom doesn’t have to mean committing to hours of cleaning every week. With the right design choices and clever product upgrades, you can enjoy a stylish space that stays looking fresh with minimal effort. From wall panels to tech upgrades, these simple ideas will help you design a bathroom that looks great without the hard work.

Swap tiles for wall panels

It’s no surprise that our top design tip is swapping traditional tiles for wall panels, they are a game changer when it comes to keeping your bathroom clean with minimal effort. Unlike tiles, panels are large format and completely grout free, meaning there are fewer places for mould and grime to build up. A quick wipe down is usually all it takes to keep them looking pristine.

They’re also incredibly versatile in design. From high gloss finishes to natural textures that mimic marble, wood, slate or even concrete, wall panels offer a huge range of styles to suit any bathroom aesthetic. Plus, they’re quicker to install than tiles, making them a smart choice for both new builds and renovations.

Pick a toilet that practically cleans itself 

No one enjoys cleaning the toilet, but thankfully there are designs out there that make it ever so slightly less objectionable. One stand out option is the RAK Series 600 back-to-wall toilet, it not only offers a fully enclosed design which makes it significantly easier to clean, but also offers the option of rimless technology. This innovative feature enhances hygiene by eliminating the usual ledges or inner rim where dirt and bacteria tend to accumulate, making everyday cleaning quicker, easier and more effective.

Choose shower screens with built in water repelling tech

We love a bit of clever technology, especially when it makes everyday life that little bit easier. Many of the Matki shower screens come with integrated Clear Guard as standard and it's a perfect example of smart design meeting practical benefits. This innovative ‘nano-coating’ treatment allows water to form tiny beads on the surface of the glass, which then effortlessly roll off. This makes it much easier to clean and minimises the need for harsh cleaning detergents. A simple idea that makes a big difference.

Swap to a steam free mirror with hi tech features

Talking of avoiding streaky glass, our next design choice for easy cleaning is a mirror that doesn’t mist up, so no more dried in swipe marks across your reflection! Whatever shape you prefer, our range of demisting mirrors will have something to suit your style. The built in technology prevents your mirror from steaming up by gently heating the glass, and can be combined with other exciting features like LED lighting, touch controls and bluetooth connectivity. It’s the perfect blend of functionality and style.

A low maintenance bathroom is all about smart choices that work hard behind the scenes so you don’t have to. By opting for easy clean surfaces, innovative fixtures and a few clever tech upgrades, you can create a space that looks polished and inviting everyday with minimal time and effort.
