From eco-friendly materials and technology to luxurious and spa-inspired features, the latest bathroom remodel trends reflect sustainability, function, and creative style. Explore the top bathroom remodel trends of 2025, and learn how Schicker Luxury Bath in Concord can help elevate your space.
1. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Materials
Sustainable and eco-friendly bathroom design lets homeowners choose materials and fixtures that reduce environmental impact without sacrificing quality or style.
Many modern bathrooms incorporate resource-conserving solutions, such as water-saving toilets, low-flow faucets, and LED lighting. Sensor-based and aerating designs for faucets and showerheads reduce water consumption without sacrificing performance.
Recycled and upcycled materials, such as reclaimed wood vanities and repurposed metal fixtures are also gaining popularity. Bamboo, cork, and other renewable resources offer lower-impact alternatives for flooring, shelving, and cabinetry, offering durability and unique style while promoting sustainability.
2. Luxurious Spa-Inspired Features
Luxury and spa-inspired bathrooms focus on creating personal retreats in your own home, complete with high-end materials and features that promote relaxation and comfort.
For example, freestanding soaking bathtubs and multifunctional showers with rainfall showerheads, body jets, and steam therapy provide full-body relaxation. Underfloor heating provides consistent warmth and eliminates the discomfort of cold tile. Towel-warming racks, heated toilet seats, and integrated aromatherapy and chromotherapy systems add another layer of comfort and sensory experience.
3. Bold, Statement-Worthy Color Palettes
While neutral tones are timeless, they’re giving way in 2025 to bold color choices. Dark and moody tones, such as deep blues, forest greens, and charcoal shades, add depth and sophistication, making bathrooms feel cozy yet elegant. Deep jewel tones, such as aubergine and sapphire blue, add opulence when paired with matte black or brassy metallic accents.
For a moody and adventurous approach, use dark and saturated shades as statement walls or accents. Incorporate vibrant colors, such as mustard yellow, bright coral, or cobalt blue, in cabinetry, tiles, or fixtures.
For a simple but impactful design, consider color-drenching styles that extend a single hue across walls and flooring for a seamless look. In smaller rooms, such as bathrooms, color-drenching can make the room feel larger, more cohesive, and tranquil.
4. Smart Technology Integration
The smart home revolution continues in 2025, becoming a more mainstream and accessible option for bathrooms that offers convenience, luxury, safety, and efficiency.
Showers, faucets, toilets, and baths are increasingly available with digital and voice controls. For example, programmable shower systems let users set temperature and water pressure preferences, and many models feature built-in bluetooth speakers for music and podcast streaming and integrated lighting with customizable settings.
Toilets also have smart features, such as deodorizers, ambient lighting, and water usage tracking. Underfloor heating gets an upgrade with smart features that enable it to adjust automatically according to the time of day, temperatures, or household member behaviors, minimizing energy consumption without leaving your floors cold.
Smart technology has seemingly endless applications. Other popular bathroom smart technology trends include:
- Mirrors with built-in lighting and fog control
- Leak detection sensors
- Motion-tracking light systems
- Smart ventilating systems
- Smart privacy glass that transitions from clear to frosted
5. Statement Tubs and Open-Concept Showers
Combining high-end style with spa-like functionality, statement tubs and open-concept showers further define luxury bathroom trends in 2025. Freestanding soaking tubs act as a centerpiece for many high-end bathrooms, while space-saving corner tubs are practical solutions that don’t compromise on relaxation.
Compared to traditional enclosed stalls, open-concept showers create a sleek, modern, and spacious feel. Open-concept shower bathrooms often feature frameless glass, curbless entries, spa shower heads, and steam systems to promote natural light and ambiance. Wet rooms, which originate in Japan and are common in Europe, are also trending in 2025. These styles take open-concept to the extreme — they have minimal barriers and exclusively waterproof materials, resulting in a continuous space with a central floor drain for water.
6. Minimalist Design with Clean Lines
Minimalist bathroom designs focus on clutter-free, sleek, and functional style. Floating vanities, hidden storage with push-to-open drawers, and discreet backlit panels maximize space while maintaining a streamlined appearance, and large-format tiles, neutral color palettes, matte fixtures, and natural textures eliminate visual clutter while enhancing warmth.
7. Customizable Shower Walls
Aside from natural stone, other premium materials and finishes can also elevate your bathroom. Lux-Bath shower wall systems, for example, are available in a wide range of shades, patterns, and textures, and you can customize them to suit your home’s specific style. For example, some wall material options mimic the look and luxury of natural stone and tile, adding warmth and texture that complement spa- or nature-inspired bathrooms. These wall systems are water-repellent and resistant to mold and mildew, making them low-maintenance and durable. As a bonus, they come with a lifetime warranty!
8. Mixed Metals
Blending different metals and finishes adds visual interest and depth to 2025 bathroom designs. Instead of sticking to a single tone, pairing warm and cool tones — such as brushed brass with matte black or chrome with antique gold — creates complex and sophisticated contrast. Breaking away from uniform and matching styles, faucets, showerheads, cabinet hardware, and lighting fixtures can also mix antique, brushed, polished, and other finishes to soften and balance contrast.
9. Custom Storage Solutions
Crossing over with minimalist and spa-inspired designs, custom storage solutions offer innovative ways to maintain organized spaces. By minimizing clutter and visual distraction, storage solutions keep your bathroom’s design as the focal point.
For example, floating vanities with drawers, drawer dividers, and customizable organizer compartments keep grooming items and toiletries neatly arranged for easy access and storage. Custom cabinetry can fit into alcoves or under sinks, and floor-to-ceiling cabinets, wall-mounted shelving, and medicine cabinets, maximize storage and minimize wasted space. Likewise, recessed shower niches and shelving next to bathtubs replace shower caddies while keeping bathing essentials within reach.
10. Open Shelving and Floating Vanities
Combining modern and airy style with functional storage, open shelving and floating vanities provide a design-forward way to display towels, everyday essentials, and decorative accents. Floating vanities are wall-mounted, which creates an illusion of more floor area and makes small bathrooms feel more spacious. They also allow for other design elements, such as LED backlights for a soft and ambient glow.
While displaying items with open shelving may clash with conventional minimalist style, choosing the right materials can keep the look more cohesive. Natural materials, such as light woods, help emphasize a zen tone, while recessed open shelves that match the backdrop colors maintain a seamless effect. In the other style direction, using bright colors, patterned designs, or mixed materials can make open shelving into a bold backdrop of its own.
