Known for its innovative and high-quality bathroom products, Hansgrohe has launched a new competition for showroom-based bathroom designers in the UK and Ireland – Bathroom Designer of the Year.
The competition looks to celebrate the creation of inspiring bathroom spaces that incorporate high quality aesthetics, innovative technology and best utilise Hansgrohe’s bathroom products under its leading brands – Hansgrohe and AXOR – within new or refurbishment bathroom projects.
Open to projects already completed in the last 12 months or due to complete in 2025, entries are encouraged from showroom-based designers across the UK & Ireland about to commence on schemes or who are currently working on a bathroom vision that could end up as an award winner. This could be within a brand-new property or part of a transformation project, within an existing bathroom space.
How to enter
From smaller projects to high-end luxury-based installations, bathroom designers can submit as many entries as they wish across the three categories: projects valued up to £10,000, projects between £10,000 and £25,000 and projects exceeding £25,000.
The judges will be looking for comprehensive bathroom designs that embody the luxurious aesthetics, innovative technology and commitment to holistic living that Hansgrohe and AXOR brands are known for. As such, the designs can integrate Hansgrohe and/or AXOR accessories, basin mixers, shower components, ceramics and furniture wherever possible – to create a cohesive and exceptional user experience.
Those interested in submitting their design for consideration should complete and share their entries by 31st October 2025. Entries should include technical drawings, floorplans and product specifications as well as photos and other visuals that showcase the completed design in situ.
A shortlist of five finalists in each category will be announced in November 2025. The final designs will then be reviewed by an expert judging panel, with the winners announced in December 2025.
Securing the title of Bathroom Designer of the Year will allow talented bathroom designers helping customers in a showroom environment to promote their work, raise their profile and build further commercial success. The winner of each category will become ambassadors for Hansgrohe/AXOR UK and be awarded with vouchers to spend on a luxury holiday of their choosing.
Erika Dodds, Channel Marketing Manager for Showroom Trade at Hansgrohe UK & Ireland, comments: “As a product creator and manufacturer we continually collaborate with the showroom retail sector. This new competition provides the opportunity to recognise the variety of stunning work showroom designers are delivering every day for clients and share the creativity that customers come to value from their showroom experience.
“We are asking to see designs that incorporate showers, taps, basins, and accessories from the Hansgrohe and AXOR ranges, to showcase the ultimate holistic bathroom. The judges want to challenge the current generation of bathroom design talent to submit design solutions with a real ‘wow’ factor.”
Hansgrohe’s Head of Product Marketing in the UK, Sarah Evans will join the expert judging panel for the Bathroom Designer of the Year competition and added: “With so much creative design talent operating in the industry, we will be searching for the standout entries that combine aesthetics with function, and which will deliver an unrivalled bathroom experience. We expect the standard of entries in each category to be extremely high and look forward to viewing what visionary bathroom designers are creating for real life projects.”
