A well designed bathroom should be both functional and beautiful, reflecting your style while making everyday routines more comfortable. Bathroom remodels keep growing in popularity, and 2025 brings some stunning trends.

Drawing on our designers' experience and insights from Better Homes and Gardens, HGTV and Martha Stewart, here are the trends shaping bathrooms this year.

Soft, Pale Color Palettes

Bold colors still have their fans, but more homeowners are choosing gentle, pale shades for a calm and timeless feel.

One standout is Quietude, the 2025 Color of the Year from HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams. This soft sage with a hint of blue creates a serene, spa like feel on walls, cabinetry or accents.

Wallpaper and Texture

Wallpaper has made a full comeback and is here to stay. An elegant print brings a luxurious feel to any bathroom, and botanical and floral designs are especially popular in powder rooms.

Luxurious Materials and Finishes

The options are nearly endless. Marble or quartz countertops add instant luxury, while concrete or glass offer a more modern, cutting edge look. High end brands provide quality fixtures and finishes that elevate the whole room.

Upgraded Lighting

According to Better Homes and Gardens, homeowners want more natural light in the bathroom, often by adding windows. Popular supplemental lighting includes:

  • Dimmable fixtures
  • Night lights and motion sensors
  • Integrated lighting in mirrors and medicine cabinets
  • Statement fixtures like chandeliers

Elegant Tile Designs

Tile is no longer just for showers and floors. It is moving onto walls to add depth, texture and character. Popular choices include:

  • Large format tile for a sleek, spacious look
  • Textured and 3D tile
  • Terrazzo and marble look tile
  • Matte finish tile
  • Subway tile in fresh layouts
  • Metallic or glass accents

Freestanding Bathtubs

Freestanding and clawfoot tubs date back centuries and became especially popular in the Victorian era. Today they are back as a luxurious focal point, and we expect to see even more of them in 2025 remodels.

Recap: 2025 Bathroom Trends

This year's bathrooms feature soft colors like sage and blue, luxurious finishes, wallpaper, elegant tile and freestanding tubs.
