What we keep seeing

Large-format stone and slab surfaces are replacing small tile grids, taking grout lines out of the picture.
Fluted tile and ribbed glass bring texture into compact bathrooms without pattern noise.
Warm metals are displacing chrome: brushed brass and gunmetal in taps, frames and mirror trims.

Questions

What are Indian designers using on bathroom walls now?

Large-format porcelain slabs and natural stone lead in these bathrooms, often one veined feature wall with quieter surfaces around it. Fluted tile is the texture of choice in compact spaces.

How do small bathrooms here feel larger?

Wall-hung vanities free the floor, mirrors run wider than the basin, and the shower is separated by a clear glass panel rather than a wall or curtain.

Which finishes survive Indian water and use?

The recurring practical picks are full-body porcelain, quartz counters and brushed rather than polished metals, which forgive hard-water marks far better than chrome and mirror finishes.
