What’s trending in design can feel as fickle as TikTok fashion—one minute, it’s sleek, oversized showers and all-white everything, and the next, it’s jewel-toned vanities and mural walls straight out of an art gallery. But trends, like people, rarely change on a whim. They’re shaped by our moods, the stories we want to tell, and, of course, what’s trending on Houzz. And according to its latest report, bathrooms are having a major personality overhaul.
This year, practicality is colliding with expression. Alcove tubs are making a cozy comeback, burl wood vanities are stealing the show and Calacatta Viola marble is turning everyday surfaces into high-impact art. Not to mention that the motivation of making the bathroom more accommodating has grown, rising from 23 percent in 2023 to 27 percent in 2024 (per the report). So below, find five bathroom trends that will define 2025—and one that’s fading faster than a Pinterest board from 2016.
