Overview of 2025 Trends

So far in 2025, we are seeing and predicting that many bathrooms will have wallpaper, free-standing tubs, more subtle and fading colors, and lots of beautiful tiles. Our talented team of designers at Tracy Tesmer Remodeling is excited to help you with your bathroom remodel decisions this year and bring new insight into trends we think are here to stay. 

Soft & Pale Color Palettes

Color plays a crucial role in setting the tone of a bathroom, and we’re seeing a shift toward softer, more soothing hues this year. While bold and vibrant colors continue to add personality for those who love a statement, a growing number of homeowners are embracing gentle, pale shades for a more tranquil and timeless feel.

One standout trend for 2025 is Quietude, the HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams Color of the Year. This soft sage, infused with a hint of blue, creates a serene and refreshing ambiance—perfect for transforming any bathroom into a spa-like retreat. Whether applied to walls, cabinetry, or accent details, Quietude offers a sophisticated yet calming touch, making it an excellent choice for your next bathroom remodel.

Wallpaper and Textured Finishes

Wallpaper has made a full comeback over the past few years and is a home design trend that is here to stay. An elegant wallpaper will bring a luxurious feel to any bathroom redesign. Beloved and beautiful floral prints are sure to impress guests.

Luxurious Materials and Finishes

The options of materials and finishes for your bathroom are endless. Deluxe brands will always have great options if you want high-end quality in your home. Consider a high-end countertop, such as marble or quartz, to elevate any space in your home with a touch of luxury. Or if you’re looking for something more modern and cutting edge, opt for concrete or glass.

Upgrade Your Lighting

According to the 2025 Bath Trends report, there’s a “strong desire to add windows for more natural light” in the bathroom, along with supplemental options that include dimmable lighting, night lights, motion sensors, and integrated lighting for mirrors and medicine cabinets. Houzz also reports that light fixtures are popular targets for style upgrades. 

Elegant Tile Designs

In recent months, elegant tiles have become a standout feature in bathroom remodels. No longer limited to showers and floors, tiles are now making their way onto walls, adding depth, texture, and character to the space.  Modern bathroom designs feature a variety of stylish tiles, from large-format options that create a sleek, spacious look to textured and 3D tiles that add depth. Terrazzo, marble-look, and matte-finish tiles offer timeless elegance. Even subway tiles are being reimagined with unique layouts, and metallic or glass accents introduce a contemporary touch, allowing for endless customization and a distinctive bathroom aesthetic.

Freestanding Bathtubs

Freestanding bathtubs and clawfoot designs have roots in ancient Greek and Roman civilizations and gained widespread popularity in the late 19th century, particularly during the Victorian era. The modern version we see today emerged when cast iron tubs with porcelain interiors and signature claw feet became widely available. In recent years, these elegant tubs have made a strong comeback as a luxurious bathroom feature. As we move into 2025, we anticipate their presence will continue to grow, especially in home remodeling projects.

Conclusion
