Bath Panelling Ideas

Make the first move in refreshing your space with these bath panel ideas

When choosing bath panels, it’s a good idea to consider whether you have a single-ended or double-ended bath. 

• Single-ended baths are designed for one person, typically featuring a tap and drain at one end with back support at the other. 
• Double-ended baths have a central tap and plug and slopes at both ends (for this reason, you’ll often see them referred to as single-ended drop-in and double-ended drop-in baths).

The bath size you need depends on how big your bathroom is. Read our bath-buying guide for more tips on choosing the right bath for your home. Bath panels can be standard-sized or cut to order, so the important thing is to note your bath’s dimensions before buying.

Wooden bath panelling has a traditional look that suits country-style and older houses well. It’s also highly versatile – if you have a sleeker modern bathroom, forego natural oak and opt for black or white wood panelling for a refined look. 

Wood panelling offers textural contrast to the other materials in your room, adding balance to your bathroom. Distressed natural materials provide a rustic look and a cosy feel. Meanwhile, recycled wood not only looks great, but it’s also better for the planet.

Marble effect bath panels help you achieve a luxury look for less. Unlike porous marble, marble effect materials are typically coated with a waterproof glaze to mimic the premium aesthetic of marble without compromising on cost or quality.

Vinyl-wrapped panels are coated with plastic for water resistance. They’re economical and easy to clean and apply. They also come in various shapes, styles, colours and patterns to suit every taste.

If you have a small bathroom with limited storage, under-bath storage is a great alternative to shelves or ottomans, maximising space. Bath panels with storage help you achieve a minimal aesthetic while decluttering.
