A recent House Beautiful piece shares designer insights into 2025 bathroom décor trends. In perusing these trends, we see a continuation of some 2024 styles as well as fresh ideas. One way or the other, the bathroom has long ceased to be a utilitarian water closet. Bathrooms today are thoughtfully designed with an eye to relaxation and aesthetic appeal. Are you planning a bathroom makeover, renovation, or new build this year? What’s most important is creating a space you like, but knowing the current trends can help you clarify your design preferences and balance personal tastes with potential resale appeal.
“Sensorial Design” is predicted as a top trend this year. This approach considers the 5 senses and includes items that appeal to various senses. For example, in addition to colors and patterns, textures are carefully considered. This type of design also takes into account the sense of smell and fills the bathroom with pleasing aromas. Suggested items and materials include dimmer switches, wood, and stone.
Considering how we now see soaker tubs beside glass showers rather than the fiberglass tub/shower combos of old, it’s no surprise that bathrooms in 2025 will take inspiration from spas. Suggestions include a tub that makes a statement of style, wall sconces, and candles.
In this same vein, we will continue to see freestanding tubs installed inside large glass enclosures that also have a shower area. Sometimes referred to as a wet room, this layout gives you plenty of space to include dramatic tilework that remains visible behind the clear glass.
Remember the bold wallpaper featured in 2024 bathroom design articles? It’s not going anywhere. Home decorators will continue to make bold statements of style through their choices of wall coverings. The article recommends that you “choose a wallpaper that reflects your personal style while complementing the existing elements of the space.”
We’ve been noticing matte black hardware on shower doors, glass shelves, and other bathroom fixtures for a while, so it’s no surprise that black accents will continue to trend. The piece recommends pairing black with brass hardware, white appliances, and natural wood.
In keeping with trends toward natural elements and sustainability, we’ll also see old pieces of furniture being repurposed as bathroom vanities. The “details” and “authentic materials” offered by vintage pieces are appealing.
(As an aside a custom wall hanging made of antique style mirror glass would be the perfect partner for this trend!)
