In the dynamic world of bathroom design, stone drenching is taking centre stage in 2025.
This luxurious concept revolves around covering every inch of a bathroom in the exquisite elegance of natural stone finishes, elevating the space into a decadent oasis reminiscent of a high-end spa.
While the beauty of real stone is unquestionable, it also comes with its fair share of obstacles – weight, cost, maintenance, and installation challenges, to name a few. Considering these limitations, Multipanel, the UK's leading wall panel brand, introduces an inventive solution that delivers the same stunning aesthetic appeal without the accompanying hurdles.

Lidia Kane, Marketing Manager at Multipanel, talks us through why stone drenching has become one of the top trends of 2025:
"In an era where bathrooms are being fashioned as sanctuaries, serene havens for relaxation and rejuvenation, the allure of stone drenching is undeniable. Its power lies in the creation of a unified and calming atmosphere. Yet, the complexities of utilising real stone, such as porous surfaces needing sealing, cumbersome material weight, and intricate installation, pose numerous obstacles. Our solution? A collection of exquisitely designed wall panels that effortlessly mimic the beauty of natural stone, providing a practical yet equally premium substitute."
Our waterproof wall panels, provide an easy-to-install, grout-free surface that replicates the texture and appearance of real stone without requiring constant maintenance.
