Houzz is a comprehensive online platform of resources to assist with home remodeling projects. The majority of users gather photos into idea books for the results they want so they can personalize their home. Houzz annually surveys homeowners who are in the process of remodeling to ascertain trends. These are some of the trends for bathroom remodeling for coming into 2025:

Sustainable Design

Eco-friendly materials are becoming an expected standard. From motion-sensing, water-saving faucets and low-flow toilets with bidet seats to recycled materials for countertops, homeowners are prioritizing sustainability. Natural stone, bamboo, and reclaimed wood are becoming popular choices for those looking to incorporate nature into their spaces and make eco-conscious choices.

Spa-Inspired Spaces

Bathrooms are being transformed into home spas. Features like freestanding bathtubs, tiled walls, rainfall showerheads, and heated floors are in high demand. Custom lighting, such as dimmable LED lights and backlit mirrors, helps create a relaxing ambiance, elevating the bathing experience.

Bold Colors and Patterns

While neutral tones are timeless, with white and off-white still the most popular colors, bold colors and patterns are making a statement. Vibrant tiles, graphic wallpaper, and contrasting fixtures are adding personality to bathrooms. This trend encourages more playful and individualistic design choices. Nationally, wood is the number 1 choice for vanity, with nods to nature and adding warmth.

Bathroom remodeling has more of a focus on function and sustainability with added luxury details. Homeowners are spending more to enhance the comfort and efficiency of their ensuite. The majority rely on professionals for their bathroom renovations, most frequently hiring general contractors.

Happy Bathroom Remodeling!
