A place where you start and end your day, your bathroom should feel both functional and relaxing. But design trends change, and what once felt stylish can quickly become outdated (and maybe even a little frustrating to use).
So, what’s in for 2025? Ahead, we’re breaking down the latest bathroom trends that make your space more comfortable and functional—plus the outdated features that might be dragging it down. Whether you’re planning a full remodel or just looking for small updates, here’s what’s worth considering.
What’s In: Bathroom Trends to Embrace
1. Spa-Like Showers
Showers are becoming full-on relaxation zones. Think: open-concept designs, rainfall showerheads, and built-in seating. Frameless glass enclosures keep things sleek, while low-threshold entries make them easy to step into.
If you’re looking to elevate your space, a high-end shower installation will make your bathroom look and feel more expensive.
2. Tub-to-Shower Conversions
Bathtubs take up real estate, and if you’re not using yours, why keep it?
More homeowners are swapping out clunky tubs that look like this…
...for walk-in showers that look better, feel bigger, and are easier to clean.
If you’re tired of stepping over a tub you never use, a tub-to-shower conversion can free up space and modernize your bathroom instantly.
3. Freestanding and Walk-In Tubs
If you do love bathtubs, a freestanding tub is the way to go. They’re sculptural, elegant, and make any bathroom look high-end. On the other hand, walk-in tubs make excellent aging-in-place upgrades—low entry, built-in grab bars, and all the comfort without the risk.
4. Neutral, Earthy, and Minimalist Designs
Cool grays and all-white bathrooms are taking a backseat to warmer, more natural tones. Picture: soft greens, beiges, and wood finishes paired with matte black or brass fixtures. We also expect to see more spaces with clean lines, floating vanities, and hidden storage, to keep things modern and clutter-free.
The result? A bathroom that feels bigger, more inviting, and effortlessly stylish.
What’s Out: Bathroom Trends to Avoid
1. Oversized Jetted Tubs
Jetted tubs had their moment, but that moment is over. They guzzle space, demand constant cleaning, plus let’s be honest—how often do people actually use them? Unsurprisingly, homeowners are swapping these maintenance-heavy tubs for sleek soaking tubs or oversized showers with rainfall showerheads.
2. Fully Carpeted Bathrooms
Carpet in a bathroom? It’s a hard no. Between the trapped moisture, inevitable mildew, and general grossness, it's a cleaning nightmare. If you want warmth underfoot, go for heated tile floors or waterproof luxury vinyl. Anything but carpet.
3. Bright, Bold, or Themed Bathrooms
Heavy patterns, overly bold colors, and theme-based décor (like all-marble everything or beach-themed bathrooms) are also falling out of style. Homeowners now prefer neutral, timeless designs that feel fresh and modern. If you love bold colors or patterns, incorporate it through easy-to-swap items like towels, rugs, or accessories, rather than permanent fixtures.
4. Clunky, Ornate Vanities
The era of bulky, dark wood vanities with intricate detailing is over. Instead, sleek floating vanities with minimalist hardware are trending, offering a clean, open look while making smaller bathrooms feel more spacious.
