A bathroom isn’t just a place to get cleaned up and, well, you know. For many, a bathroom is a sanctuary and provides a place to relax, unwind, and escape the stresses of everyday life. As a result, this needs to be reflected in the décor.
While trends and styles are constantly changing, your bathroom deserves so much more than a dull and soulless grey finish, or old and dated white tiles which would look more at home in an operating theatre. This is why it pays to find inspiration, regardless of where it comes from.
If you’ve been thinking of remodeling your bathroom and are unsure about which style and décor to go with, there are plenty of options out there to choose from. Whether you’re looking for sleek and modern, or quaint and rustic, your perfect bathroom style is out there, you just need to know where to look.
To help you build the bathroom you want and deserve, here are several of the top bathroom remodel trends for 2025.
Grey is Out, and Bold and Colorful is In
While everybody is entitled to like whatever they like, for far too long, our bathrooms have been dominated by dark, dull, and depressing shades of grey. We want to change that.
While so called ‘millennial grey’ styles still extremely impressive if done right, most people are craving color and vibrance in their lives, and opting for brighter, bolder bathroom styles instead.
You certainly don’t need to turn your bathroom into a kaleidoscope of colors and patterns, but a little splash of color here and there really goes a long way to lift the ambience of the room. Rather than plain grey tiles, why not go for bright and colorful ones instead? If you want to tone down the colors, make three of your walls neutral and go to town with just one bright feature wall.
Adding color to a bathroom is easy. Not only can you choose from bright and vibrant colored tiles, you can also choose ones with different patterns and designs too. Other accessories like wall art, bathmats, and towels can also be used to add colorful accents to a bathroom.
Embrace the Power of Natural Stone
As opposed to standard ceramic tiles, another of the top bathroom remodel trends of 2025 is to go with natural lavish stones instead.
Materials such as granite, marble, sandstone, and onyx are set to make a big splash this year, and when you see them in person, you’ll understand why that is.
Lavish natural stones, either on your walls, in shower cubicles, for your bathroom floor, or even as a simple sink surround, are not only brighter, they also look more luxurious and add personality and character. These stone materials are not commonly used, which will help your bathroom décor to really stand out and get noticed.
Create a Relaxing Scandinavian Spa Setting
Most people use their bathrooms as places to really relax and unwind. Whether this is through a hot soapy bath, or a warm shower after a long and stressful day, bathrooms and stress-relief go hand in hand with one another.
When we think of relaxing spaces however, surely a spa is the ultimate in rest and relaxation? As the majority of us aren’t blessed with the ability to visit a spa each day, why not bring the spa to your bathroom instead?
Rustic Scandinavian spa styles and décor is very much in for 2025, and that looks set to continue for the foreseeable future. Help create your own spa setting with specially designed woods, or wood-effect tiles to create the illusion of being in a sauna? You could install a deep soaking tub and maybe even a steam shower, which are actually more affordable than a lot of people realize.
Finish the look off with other features and accessories you’d find in a spa, such as a little greenery, sauna buckets, wood-effect furniture, and white robes, bathmats, bath towels, and flipflops and you’re all set.
Do Your Part for the Planet and Be Sustainable
Because so many people and businesses are making a conscious effort to be greener and more sustainable, eco-friendly materials and practices are very popular with home décor and DIY at the moment.
If you’re looking for inspiration for your bathroom remodel, how about being greener and going for a more sustainable and environmentally friendly layout instead?
Instead of plastics and PVCs, go with sustainable materials like bamboo, natural stone, recycled glass, or reclaimed wood instead. These materials not only look fantastic, but they also help you to lower your carbon footprint and be a little more eco-friendly in the process. That’s certainly no bad thing.
Upgrade Your Lighting
Bathrooms are supposed to be bright and airy, not dank and depressing. A great way to add more light to your bathroom is to, well, add more lights.
Either in the form of brighter bulbs, or even new light fixtures and fittings, you can flood your bathroom with light in the evening and on darker days of the year. If you’re able to do so, new windows, or larger windows will also let more natural sunlight flood inside.
For a relaxing soak after a long day, how about fitting some mood lighting as well? Here you can use recessed LED strips hidden out of sight, or even smart bulbs to change the brightness, tone, hue, and color of your lights.
Draw Inspiration from the Past with a Vintage Theme
Finally, arguably the hottest top bathroom remodel trends for 2025 is a vintage theme.
For a long time, bathrooms were designed to look sleek, contemporary, and ultra-modern. Like everything, however, times change. These days, people are very much drawing inspiration from the past and are going with vintage styles and themes.
In particular, Edwardian and Victorian England décor styles are hugely popular, with olive greens, vibrant white marbles, and copper piping working wonders to create stylish vintage themes.
Art deco bathrooms are also once again becoming mainstream, so if you want your bathroom to stand out, why not go for a retro look instead?
