A bathroom remodel can be stressful, with so many options, materials, and ideas to choose from. And then how can you be sure that your choices will meet your needs, your budget, and your desire to be more eco-conscious?
With our years of experience and expertise in bathroom layout and design, we will expand on 4 top trends we are incorporating in our latest bathroom remodels that our clients love to get you started on your remodel journey.
1. Shower in Style in Your New Spacious Shower
One of the most popular trends at the moment is the shift in focus from tubs to showers. Many homeowners are opting to do away with the bathtub entirely and dedicate more space to a luxurious shower. Here are some ways you can enhance your shower for optimum enjoyment and relaxation:
- Showerhead Choices: Choosing a rainfall showerhead will give a wide and even flow of water and provide the feeling of standing in a rain shower. Otherwise, you can opt for a multiple showerhead experience with jets set to spray from various angles, which can feel like a full-body massage. Perhaps the perfect option is a combination of these that can be adjusted according to how you feel each day.
- Getting Steamy: Turn your shower cubicle into a mini-spa with a steam-generating shower with higher sides to contain the steam. Steam showers offer many health benefits, including healthier skin, nasal decongestion, improved circulation, reduced joint stiffness, muscle recovery, and perhaps most importantly, stress reduction.
- Optional Extras: Add a bench or seat for extra comfort, built-in caddies or racks for storing shower items like shampoo and body wash, or even a waterproof integrated sound system to play your favorite tunes (and possibly sing them, too!).
2. Still Want a Tub? Trendy Options for Your Soaking Pleasure
Freestanding tubs remain a popular option in a modern bathroom remodel as they provide an attractive focal point in the room. Tubs are available in many styles and materials, so you will surely find one that perfectly complements your new bathroom design. From classic clawfoot styles to sleek and minimalistic, the options are endless.
For further relaxation, consider a spa bath with hydrotherapy jets that will transform your bath time into a session with your secret masseur or masseuse.
3. Modern Mirrors and Lighting Options
Backlit mirrors are the way to go to turn your bathroom into a relaxing sanctuary. Their purpose is twofold: first, they will softly illuminate your reflection. Secondly, they create a soothing atmosphere and eliminate the glare of other harsh lighting options traditionally used in bathrooms.
Choose a frameless mirror with a minimalistic design and embedded LED lighting for a modern look. For classic elegance, you can opt for a framed mirror.
To further enhance the lighting in your new bathroom, ask your design team to maximize natural lighting. This could be in the form of oversized windows, sliding glass doors, or even a skylight. Pair this with the most appropriate window dressing to ensure a bright and airy atmosphere.

4. Eco-Friendly Inclusions For Your Bathroom Upgrade
As it turns out, some of the trendiest ideas in bathroom decor are also the most eco-friendly options, including some already mentioned above:
- Backlit mirrors use LED bulbs that are more energy-efficient than traditional bulbs.
- Natural lighting eliminates the need for artificial lighting in your bathroom during daylight hours.
- Steam showers use far less water than regular showers.
- Installation of low-flow faucets is excellent for further reducing water consumption at taps and toilets.
- Water-wise showerheads will still provide a satisfying and invigorating shower experience while conserving water and building eco-friendly practices in your daily routine.
- Water-saving toilets, such as the dual-flush system, can reduce your total household water consumption by up to 25%.
- Tankless or on-demand water heaters only heat water when needed, offering a significant reduction in the energy used by traditional water heaters.
- Explore the option of using upcycled, refurbished, or vintage fixtures to reduce the demand for new products and reduce your carbon footprint.
