• tile that makes a statement
• high-tech bathroom features
• personal spa features
• medicine cabinets
• floating vanities

1. Natural Bathroom Design

If you head to Pinterest and search for contemporary bathroom designs, your screen will instantly transform to a color palette of sandy beige, soft browns, and muted greens.  

In other words, tones that are earthy and natural are becoming the go-to colors for bathrooms in recent years – and with good reason. These types of natural colors create a calming and soothing atmosphere in the bathroom, evoking a sense of relaxation and tranquility. 

Organic and natural shapes, patterns, and materials too are on-trend. Just like nature, organic might mean that things aren't symmetrical, but that should be exactly what you're going for. 

Hot Bathroom Trends to Try

White oak is trending but also has massive staying power. Try the Silas in Vanilla Oak available in three sizes, with or without integrated sink countertop.

Coastal vibes have a natural freshness that's at home in many design styles. The lighter wood tones of coastal bathroom elements introduce a breezy charm that's elegant and serene. Try the Cora vanity for a pop of fresh air.

2. Details in Bathroom Decor

The sentiment has been growing for several years, but 2025 is the crowning year for transforming functional into decorative. There are more options than ever to make vanities, toilet paper holders, and even the sink, into a thing of beauty. And that opens the door for some special details to debut in the bathroom.

Take a look at some of the new vanities at DecorPlanet that are doing just that. From fluted detailing and furniture structure on the outside to high-tech functionality on the inside, these new vanities sit right at the crossroads of style and function.

Hot Bathroom Trends to Try

Fluting details are a top trend to try in 2025. The exact style of this textural feature is hard to pin to just one aesthetic so it's worth a shot in your space to add great details. Try a Wellington vanity (available in two sizes with or without countertop), Elliot (wrap around, squared-off fluting in two sizes, with or without countertop), or Camille (36" with or without countertop). 

3. Statement Tiles 

Unique and eye-catching tiles, especially in patterns are a hot trend for bathroom design. This can include mosaic tiles, patterned tiles, or bold-colored tiles used as an accent wall, backsplash, or super on-trend for 2025: floors.  

Statement tiles can add personality and visual interest to the bathroom, making it a focal point of the space. Plus, they allow you to experiment with color and have a little fun in a space that can otherwise feel a bit bland. Consider your shower floor, a perfect place to do something different and bold in the bathroom.

4. Smart technology features 

Technology is playing a bigger role in bathroom design, with smart bathroom features becoming a major trend on Pinterest. This includes smart mirrors with built-in lighting and Bluetooth speakers, touchless faucets, heated floors, and voice-activated showers, adding convenience, comfort, and efficiency to the bathroom. 

In particular, smart technology features that are also sustainable are hugely popular, like this Dual Flush Toilet with Dynamax Tornado Flush Technology. Its highly efficient flush system promotes water conservation, leading to less water use overall.

Japanese toilets with their plethora of features and remote controlled access are a top pick for 2025. Learn more about your options on our blog. Read Japanese washlet article.

Tricked out vanities that offer all the amenities like a power bar with outlets and USB are a must have for the plugged-in bathroom of 2025. Try the Sawyer in three sizes and two gorgeous wood tones.

5. Personal Spa Bathrooms 

Finally, 2025's bathrooms aim to create a spa-like atmosphere, with features such as rain showerheads, steam showers, built-in benches, and mood lighting.  

These elements can create a relaxing and rejuvenating experience, transforming the bathroom into a personal retreat. Plus, having a spa-like ambiance in your bathroom can encourage healthy habits, such as taking time for self-care, mindfulness, and prioritizing your well-being. 

6. Medicine Cabinets

Remember medicine cabinets? That lovely storage space behind a mirror, above the sink that guests love to poke around in? They're back on-trend and better than ever. 

The medicine cabinets of today have smart tech, lighting, and more. They can be recessed for a sleek look, or can go in a corner. There are so many more options for the medicine cabinet, it's no wonder they are back on top of the trends list.

Hot Bathroom Trends to Try

The Robern AiO medicine cabinet mirror features electrical outlets, lighting, and Bluetooth. It's the perfect addition to the high-tech bathroom.

One of the biggest medicine cabinet mirrors, the Fresca Spazio has USB, lighting, a defogger, and more. 

7. Floating Vanities

Floating or wall mounted vanities are a must have in 2025. They are space saving, have a contemporary look, and fit right in with the minimalist styling that's so popular this year.

Another excellent feature of floating vanities is that they can be placed at any height--you aren't bound to any particular height. You get a custom look and functionality at a standard price.

Hot Bathroom Trends to Try

The Formosa is a brand new Fresca vanity with minimalist design and clean wood tones that's perfect for smaller bathrooms. Available in two sizes and two colors.

We're so into floating vanities this year, that we just launched a bunch of them at the end of 2024. Check them out in our 2025 Style Guide.

Whether you're buying for a tech-savvy loved one or simply seeking a home upgrade, luxury bathroom gifts are the best gift for the person who has everything.

What is a Smart Toilet?

A smart toilet is designed to elevate the typical bathroom experience with features like heated seats, customizable bidet options, automatic flushing, and even self-cleaning functionality.

What's the Difference Between a Bidet & Washlet?

The difference between a bidet and a washlet lies primarily in their design, features, and how they are used.

Bidet

• standalone fixture
• basic functionality (a stream of water)
• no additional features like dryers, heated seat, and personalized settings

Washlet

• integrated into existing toilet
• advance features (water temperature/pressure, dryers, deodorizers, etc.)
• more hygienic (self-cleaning and hands-free)
