Top Trends in Bathroom Remodels

Bathroom remodel styles and designs change regularly. Each year, hundreds of new fads come in that make a lot of homeowners just want to get on the bandwagon. While each of these crazes is worth a try, you will have to know which among them are worth your money, time, and effort, as well as those that can last a long period of time. 

To help homeowners who are planning to build a new bathroom, or renovating one, we’ve narrowed down the choices and listed the 10 most popular bathroom remodeling trends this 2022 that are stylish, practical, and sustainable.

Heated Flooring

Best when constructing a new bathroom or among remodelers, warm flooring is sought-after by a lot of property investors. They are great for avoiding cold feet after showering and also come in chic and neat styles to complement the entire bathroom look you’re aiming for. Long-lasting and durable, heated flooring is an investment that is surely worth it because of the added value.

“Smart” Bathroom

Commonly originating in Japan, technology-integrated bathrooms (also known as smart bathrooms) have now become a very much liked and well-adapted trend among homeowners. The fusion of the advancement of technology into bathroom designs achieves comfort and efficiency, which people are seeing a lot of value.

Some of the common things found in a smart bathroom include toilets with seat warmers, touch-free flushing, and a self-closing lid. Other advancements also include built-in deodorizers, adjustable air dryers, voice-activated lighting and temperature, shower controls, ventilation adjusters, sensor-activated lighting, and more. Wall-mounted TVs and Bluetooth speakers are also very common for those who want to add entertainment or relaxation.

​Backlit Mirrors

A little upgrade from the usual bathroom mirrors at home, statement LED backlit mirrors can make a lot of difference—changing your entire bathroom atmosphere. They are easy do-it-yourself (DIY) bathroom remodel projects and are not costly to make.

​Suspended Sinks

Standing out in terms of style, suspended sinks or floating vanities are ideal for a small bathroom remodeling. They create a spacious visual appearance while still serving their main purpose—an example of aesthetics and functionality at work.

Streamlined Storage

Like floating sinks, streamlined storage also helps in making a small bathroom appear larger. It also helps improve messy-looking and cluttered bathrooms. Modern storage designs also go beyond the ordinary old-fashioned cabinets that eat up the entire space. Instead, these can include small storage spaces under the tubs, standing racks on top of the toilet, and floating shelving among others.

Bold Walls

The most creative and expressive part of the bathroom, the walls are like a blank canvas you can pour your personality into. While all-white or single-tone colored walls are still the most common thing nowadays, bold and unconventional walls are highly admired. Bold walls can range from colorful wallpapers to vibrant oversized bathroom wall tiles. An example would be a color-happy patterned wall tile that contrasts the neutral shades of your countertops, cabinets, and other fixtures.

Free-Standing Tubs

More like a “blast-from-the-past”, free-standing tubs combine the old-fashioned and modern bathrooms. With more and more people seeing their bathroom as a personal sanctuary more than just a bathing area, free-standing tubs make a perfect addition to an exclusive and enjoyable personal time. Free-standing tubs are also easy to incorporate into almost any bathroom theme without losing their luxurious effect every time.

Stylish Walk-in Showers

Probably the most versatile among all the bathroom renovation components, walk-in showers are evolving trends that never go out of style. They have the ability to transform your bathroom into a high-end hotel-like space. The creativity walk-in showers offer in terms of styling is endless—from floor tiling to showerhead options to glass enclosure choices.

Exposed Structures and Lines

Typical among modern industrial properties, exposed and graphic structures and lines are now a sought-after trend in both commercial and residential bathroom designs. Characterized by visible pipeworks, Crittal shower doors, bi-fold or single-pivot doors, and strong geometric shapes, industrial bathrooms convey a compact and low-maintenance effect.

Accentuated Bathroom

The small yet impactful part of a bathroom makeover, accents and decors can complete the ensemble you want to put together. Decorative bathroom accessories such as lotions, candles, scents, and self-care stations for instance can create that desired spa-like atmosphere. If you are into achieving a biophilic or nature-themed mood, then adding plants, painting about nature, or green ceramics might do the trick. Whatever your chosen theme is, there is always that tiny tweak of accessory you can add.
