The bathroom has long served a humble, functional purpose—but as time changes and we enter a new year, the role of the bathroom has shifted.
2024 trends show that bathrooms are not only practical, but their focus is now on environmental sustainability, wellness, and smart technology. A bathroom has become the place to escape from the busyness of the world.
As you think about a bathroom remodel this coming year, consider these trendy eco-conscious and comfortable design features to transform your bathroom into your oasis.
Spa-Like Amenities
When you think about unwinding and relaxing, you may think about a spa day. But what if you could bring the spa home? Many 2024 bathroom features make that a reality.
The focal point of many new bathrooms is a freestanding tub, often equipped with jets, giving the space a luxurious vibe. Separate from the tub is a large shower, with features like steam and rain settings, body sprays, built-in seating, and massaging shower heads. To make it feel less like a bathroom, many spaces now have water closets, or separate, closed-off toilet areas.
Other amenities include aromatherapy diffusers, heated bathroom floors, and speakers.
Embracing Nature
Bathrooms are now also eco-friendly, which includes using natural materials like wood and stone to emphasize the tactile characteristic of nature. Many bathrooms also include plants or large yet private windows that look out into nature.
Earthy paint tones are also common in remodeled bathrooms. Many blend warm pastel colors on the walls with rich browns or muted greens in the cabinetry or tile.
Customization
The great part about remodeling your bathroom is the various choices you can make. Custom tiling has become popular in 2024. Large-format tiling, which removes grout lines and makes cleaning easier, is often used in geometric or mosaic patterns on the floor. Shorter, slim tiles stacked vertically as backsplash are seen as well.
Where you place cabinetry, and how much you want of it, can also be to your liking. Large but modern medicine cabinets and light-colored vanities are making a comeback and are perfect large storage spaces.
Soothing Lighting
The spa and eco-friendly design of the bathroom isn’t complete without mood lighting. This can range from toe-kick lighting around cabinets, to backlit mirrors, to biodynamic lighting that mimics daylight.
