Are you ready for a bathroom refresh? Bathrooms aren’t the most glamorous spaces in our homes, so sometimes they don’t get the attention they deserve. They’re certainly important, though, since everyone uses them! Will this be the year you upgrade your bathroom space? We’ve got some trends that may just give you the inspiration you need to get started.

• Plants, plants, plants: If you think about it, decorating your bathroom with plants is a décor trend that makes a lot of sense. Plants are known for improving air quality and creating a feeling of calm and relaxation, and the bathroom is a place where both of those attributes are welcome. Houseplants and other natural elements like pampas grass can make your bathroom feel like an oasis.
• Luxury upgrades: More and more, people are leaning into the idea of turning their bathrooms into spa-like sanctuaries where they can relax and refresh. Luxury finishes like mosaic tile, frameless shower doors with thick glass, stylish fixtures, and low maintenance, beautiful, solid surface countertops are all popular right now. Marble is making an appearance in a big way, in white and gray shades that exude elegance.
• A lovely place to sit: Benches and vanity stools are highly functional, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be beautiful. Upholstered with beautiful, soft textures, they make a perfect complement to decorative trays and tub-side tables, creating an atmosphere that promotes self-care and wellness.
• Interesting walls: Who wants a spare white wall when you can have a mural or hand-drawn scene that makes the room feel like a spa? If a mural is too over-the-top for you, you’re still not confined to anything stark or sterile. This year, warmer palettes are on trend, often using natural materials.
• Textures and colors: Textured tile, wood, and stone, a mixture of colors and materials, and creative use of glass can make for much more interesting bathrooms than the plain, solid colors of years past.
• Stunning showers: Walk-in showers and wet rooms are becoming increasingly popular. Combined with colorful patterned tile and perhaps a soaker tub, this can elevate the bathroom into a truly stunning space. It serves a more functional purpose as well: seniors looking to age in place benefit from the safety factor of the curb-less shower.
• An eclectic mix: Making your bathroom beautiful doesn’t mean getting rid of everything familiar. Keep the elements you love, mixing old and new in a way that suits your aesthetic sensibilities.
