5 Bathroom Trends That We Love in 2024
2024 is the new frontier in the world of home design. With pandemic woes largely behind us, people are venturing out of their homes more and more but still seek ways to make their abodes the ultimate relaxed haven for essential, divine self-care.
Self-care starts in the bathroom with a steamy shower or relaxing bath. While we aren’t seeing Jetson’s-level changes to how we bathe and utilize our bathrooms, technology is beginning to meet us in this room.
Read to the end of this blog to find out where custom bathroom design trends are taking us in 2024.
A BATHROOM SPA OASIS
In the world of customized homes, our clients are asking for spa-like bathrooms. In 2024 and 2025, look for concrete and stone tubs and earthy, neutral color pallets.
The right soaking tub can make your bathroom feel like you are getting the spa treatment. Freestanding tubs are having their moment and make a bathroom feel roomy and spacious, allowing homeowners to loosen up and feel untouched by daily stressors.
While a bathroom of any size can feel like a spa with the proper finishes and fixtures, luxurious steam showers and saunas are finding their place in larger bathrooms. A traditional shower is usually smaller and enclosed, whereas a steam shower is typically larger in terms of square footage and includes higher walls designed to trap heat and steam.
IF WALLS COULD TALK: BATHROOM DESIGNS WITH PERSONALITY
In 2024 we are seeing more of the homeowners’ personality shine through in custom bathroom designs. This includes unique and colorful tiles, one-of-a-kind wallpaper, backlit mirrors, and even surprisingly colorful plumbing fixtures.
Gone are the days of uniformly sterile bathroom designs. Look for eye-popping textures and colors that suit the homeowner’s flair and aesthetic.
TECHNOLOGY IN THE BATHROOM 2024
It would seem like technology doesn’t belong in the bathroom but imagine technology in this room that could improve your daily life and routine. Imagine waking up in the morning and turning on the news to start your day early. Technology in the bathroom can mean conveniences like turning on voice-activated mood lighting or running a perfectly temperature-controlled bath with the help of smart technology.
Bathroom technology can also prevent water from being wasted, keeping your electricity and water bills reasonable.

INTEGRATED & FUNCTIONAL BATHROOM STORAGE
Look for integrated storage in 2024 and 2025 for custom bathrooms. Integrated storage solutions in the bathroom include cubbies for shampoos and toiletries built into the shower walls and tub surrounds. Custom storage can also be integrated into bathroom wall dividers creating a stress-free and clutter-free bathroom aesthetic.
BIOPHILIC DESIGN IN THE BATHROOM
Biophilic design is a buzzword in custom design for 2024. As creative home design professionals, we’ve noticed that biophilic design is now making its way into the bathroom as well. Look for large windows fitted with one-way glass that allows a picturesque view of impeccably sculpted landscaping. Some great options here are a gorgeous tree framed in the bathroom window.
If you are scaling back on your landscaping budget while building your customized home, there are other ways to incorporate biophilic design in this space. Look for nature-inspired wallpaper and wall hangings, leave enough space to bring a medium-sized tree into your bathroom space, designate a corner to hang a flowing eucalyptus plant, or even include a custom planter atop your half-wall room dividers.
