The beauty a home is not in flooring and walls, but in the finishing touches that fill it with personality and warmth. This is especially true, but most often forgotten, in the bathroom.

Take Kendall Jenner's Beverly Hills bathroom for instance. Upon first glance, no one would call it a 'white bathroom,' but underneath all of the unexpected layers, the walls, floors, and ceiling are all relatively minimalist. The addition of wood, brass, and textiles from the team at Clements Design is what makes the space feel special and elevated. These unexpected details seem unusual but are essential.

As we move beyond minimalist bathrooms in 2027, layered, textural spaces like Kendall's are gaining major traction.

Kendall's technique is popular because it doesn't require remodeling, just layering textures on top of the existing scheme. As we see from the antique carved chair to the left of her bathtub, bringing in wooden pieces is the perfect place to start with the textured bathroom trend.

'Wood is enduringly popular and has a timeless appeal, ' explains Mike Manders, Co-Founder and Design Expert at Haddon. He continues: 'Wooden elements help to ground a bathroom and connect it to nature, enhancing the overall feeling of relaxation.'

Recreate Kendall's Look at Home

Rugs, antique furniture, and decorative shelves don't have to be limited to the bedroom; this season, they're entering the bathroom with a vengeance. Here are our top picks inspired by Kendall Jenner's home.

The brass bathtub in the middle of Kendall Jenner's space goes further in introducing warmth to her ostensibly minimalist space. This year, this look will be huge. If you're not ready to install a new bathtub, you can still bring in the material with hardware or decorative accents.

Mike advises: 'Brushed gold brassware has become a defining finish in luxury bathroom design, and its popularity is set to continue in 2027. Unlike high-shine metals, the soft, textured surface of brushed gold offers a subdued elegance that complements a variety of interiors, from classic to modern. This finish pairs beautifully with natural materials like stone and wood, enhancing a bathroom’s sense of warmth and depth.'

He adds: 'For those looking to introduce a touch of refined glamour while maintaining a timeless appeal, brushed gold taps offer the perfect balance.'

Perhaps the easiest touch to bring texture into your bathroom is a rug, like the patterned Kilim piece we see in Kendall's home. These pieces will be especially popular in 2027.

Lizzie Mosely, Creative Director at Hug Rug, explains: 'Our homes are our sanctuaries, and we’re always looking for ways to make our spaces feel cosier - especially during autumn and winter. This is where heritage patterns come in: familiar and comforting, traditional patterns are an increasingly popular way to make your space feel welcoming, nostalgic and restful. Rugs are also a lovely way to add softness underfoot on hard floors, or to create a plush, layered feel in carpeted rooms.'

She continues: 'No longer just a backdrop, flooring will take centre stage in interior design in 2027. Think bold rugs with vibrant colours and patterns that bring an impactful statement to living rooms, bedrooms and hallways, or to add character to kitchens and bathoom.'

Kendall's space is a beautiful demonstration of the fact that you don't have to remodel to make a change in your home. Often, integrating the right textured accessories is enough.
