One of the best places in the home to experiment with a fresh style is the bathroom. And judging by the top bathroom trends for 2025, you can see that crafting a serene escape is at the top of many homeowners' design wishlists. The latest bathroom trends emphasize peacefulness and tranquility, with a focus on natural materials, spa-inspired luxury features, and sensorial appeal. However, there's also an opportunity for personalized touches, such as statement wallpapers and unique accent materials. Whether you're planning an extensive bathroom remodel or a subtle refresh, bathroom trends that will define the upcoming year are a great place to start in your search for inspiration.
"Bathrooms are evolving into spa-like sanctuaries. Expect the integration of sensory features such as tactile textures, aromatic elements, and adjustable lighting to promote relaxation. Materials like natural stone, textured tiles, and wooden accents can amplify the calming atmosphere​."
“Luxury spa-inspired retreats are becoming more desirable by homeowners. This trend focuses on creating a space worth spending time in and splurging on specific selections and materials makes it all worth it. It can be achieved by opting for natural stone to evoke a more organic feeling, choosing a tub that you will actually use (but also look incredible), and ambient lighting through decorative sconces that can be dimmed and deliberate areas to place candles galore!”
"We are still seeing wet rooms as a trend in main bathrooms where the shower and tub are both enclosed behind glass doors. It's an opportunity to be creative with your tile design because the space is so much bigger."
"In 2025, statement wallcoverings in bathrooms are making a significant return, adding depth and personality to small spaces. To embrace this trend, choose a wallpaper that reflects your personal style while complementing the existing elements of the space. Pair bold patterns with neutral flooring or accessories to avoid overwhelming the room."
"We love incorporating black in our work, and we expect it to be a huge trend for bathrooms in 2025. It creates immediate drama and is extra special when paired with brass. To keep it light, mix in bright white fixtures and warm oak. We especially love the classic Nero Marquina marble tiles from Ann Sacks."
"Reclaimed wood vanities with unique details highlight a movement toward incorporating authentic materials in bathroom spaces. The featured powder room showcases a French-style chest repurposed into a vanity, offering warmth and history through its organic wood grain and delicate hardware. The combination of the natural wood with polished fixtures like a hammered metal sink strikes a perfect balance between rustic charm and contemporary luxury. To achieve this look, homeowners can seek vintage or antique furniture pieces and retrofit them for bathroom use."
"Powder rooms and guest bathrooms are undergoing an exciting transformation, becoming standout spaces that leave a lasting impression. Designers are increasingly incorporating bold, eye-catching elements like vibrant or textured wallpaper, dramatic and moody color palettes, and statement lighting fixtures. These creative choices turn these often-overlooked spaces into immersive environments that have endless wow-factor and feel like a world of their own."
"Bathrooms are all about creating a serene retreat. By using organic materials like natural stone, textured tiles, and warm wood finishes it can instantly bring that calming, spa-like feeling into your space. It's all about embracing the beauty of nature and transforming your bathroom into a sanctuary where it can be a place for you to truly unwind."
“We are expecting 2025 bathrooms to show off their fun side! You can give your space personality with fixtures in unusual colors and materials. Kast Concrete basins make charming sinks, and you can mix or match the colors with their cool faucet handles. If you are into brights, you can even customize the Fantini Balocchi faucet to go with almost any color under the sun.”
“The 1930s brought the popularity of modern Art Deco design as well as traditional Tudor and Colonial revival architecture. Traditional decorative molding and tile wainscoting when executed in bold color works to bring these two design styles together. This can also be achieved through geometric style lighting and tile.”
“In 2025, I believe we’ll see the continued rise of plaster walls in bathrooms. This versatile trend offers a timeless appeal, whether creating a light and airy ambiance or a dark and moody atmosphere. Plaster walls bring the perfect balance of texture and warmth to any space. What I especially love about this trend is that while it’s gaining popularity again, it’s far from new. Plaster walls are one of the oldest design elements and materials used in homes, and it’s amazing that we can incorporate such a classic feature into modern living spaces. My favorite plaster paint company is Portola Paints.”
"Soft, serene hues like sage green, calming blue, and warm taupe are the perfect way to create a peaceful, spa-like atmosphere in your bathroom. These colors evoke a sense of calm and relaxation while pairing beautifully with natural textures like wood and stone. They’re the perfect way to add personality without overwhelming the space. I love how they effortlessly bring a serene energy to a space while still allowing room for creativity and style to shine through. They’re such an easy way to create a home that feels both modern and inviting."
"Showers that use marble slabs for the walls instead of tile. It is a very elegant approach and a clean way to showcase a shower without having to maintain grout."
