The theme for the top bathroom style trends of 2025 is a sanctuary. It’s all about creating and immersing in a luxurious spa of your own for relaxation, wellness, and rejuvenation. Today’s most desirable features are not only body-centric, but they’re also about pampering and soothing the mind and soul. Let’s explore today’s bathroom innovations to discover what’s in and what’s out to turn your bathroom into your personal self-indulgent escape without leaving home.
What’s In
Spa-like Features
Indulge and soothe your senses with nature-centric aesthetics. Include earth elements for sight, sound, smell, and touch. Think aromatherapy and textural earth elements like bamboo, riverstone, or lava rock. Enjoy the sensation of standing beneath a cascading waterfall by installing a rainfall showerhead with a variety of settings. Heated floors keep bare feet warm and toasty. Pump in your favorite surround-sound music.
Sustainable Materials
Recycle. Reclaim. Repurpose. As eco-conscious living takes on greater significance, you have more beautiful options than ever. Countertops and other surfaces can include recycled glass and other repurposed materials. Enjoy treasure hunting and giving new life to salvaged and repurposed fixtures. Reclaimed wood can add character and aesthetically pleasing bamboo can help your bathroom get gorgeous and reflect your personal style.
Floating Vanities
Floating vanities and shelves are a modern, elegant aesthetic. They create more space in smaller bathrooms, provide extra storage, and make cleanups a breeze. Under-cabinet lighting adds a soft glow, further embellishing the ambient spa-like environment while creating a posh focal point.
Smart Technology
Elevate your spa-like experience with Smart technology. Add a touchscreen to a mirror to view or hear the day’s news and weather report. Embellish your space with a Bluetooth surround sound system. For extra pampering, add a Smart thermostat for optimum temperature control set to your preferences prior to entering your lavish spa.
Wellness-Centric Spaces
Add aromatherapy directly into your shower with scents that promote calmness or invigoration. Chromotherapy color lighting encourages physical wellness; it’s shown to alleviate stress and is a mood lifter.
Biophilic Design
Welcome the great outdoors inside and enliven your senses. Use a variety of earth elements, including stone, wood, bamboo, and marble. Let natural light and outdoor scenery in with windows and skylights. Lush plants add living greenery to your spa while freshening and cleaning the air.
Open-Concept Showers
Chic and modern, open-concept showers can make a small space look and feel larger while adding an uplifting airiness. All surfaces can get wet in these wet rooms, making them a great option for kids and pets while making cleanups quick and easy.
What’s Out
Tile Countertops
Tile is hard to maintain and clean, whether it’s on a bathroom countertop, on a vanity, or in a shower. Many homeowners bought into the trend of tile featuring faux finishes like marble or wood that never look as authentic as the real thing. Today’s most desirable looks include smooth, sleek, seamless surfaces like real marble or stone.
Jacuzzi And Whirlpool Tubs
Say goodbye to Jacuzzis or whirlpool tubs in 2025. Homeowners are put off by maintenance issues and difficult cleaning. They also want more water efficiency. Instead, they’re opting for walk-in showers or deep-soaking tubs for sheer indulgence and eye-catching beauty.
Bold Grout
If you’ve experienced the challenge of cleaning dirty grout, it’s a time-consuming task that requires a lot of elbow grease. Besides dirty soap scum buildup, tile can also harbor mold, and that’s not something anyone wants in their wellness haven. Instead, home-dwellers are choosing stylish yet functional options like marble or stone.
Color Blocking
It was fun while it lasted, yet a blast of one dominant color can prove a bit jarring and stagnant, day in and day out. Instead create cohesiveness through paint, washes, and textural variations by using complimentary colors. Opt for neutrals or up to three complimentary colors for a cohesive look.
All-White Bathrooms
Perceptions change over time, and that goes for the white bathroom trend, too. What was once perceived as crisp and clean now looks stark and sterile. Instead, people are welcoming more color and even darker trend hues into their baths to create a cozy, comforting spa-like ambiance.
Exposed Bare-Bulb Vanity Lights
Say so long to the exposed bare-bulb vanity lights trend. Now, they come across as too utilitarian and unimaginative. Instead, choose vintage scones or even a chandelier for a touch of drama and opulence.

Mirrors With LED Backlighting
Once considered modern and tech-chic, mirrors with LED backlighting aren’t conveying that warm, welcoming vibe that today’s home-dwellers crave at the end of a hectic day. Instead, demand is growing for more elegant adornments such as chic wall sconces or custom-framing with lighting integration.
