Bathroom trends (much like kitchen trends<\/a>) are a funny thing to evaluate on a year-to-year basis because they simply do not move that quickly. If they did, by the time you got through the design process, material selection, permitting, contingencies and snafus, and then final install, your spaces would already be obsolete. That would simply be a ridiculous and wasteful way to live in our homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is not to say there isn’t anything to talk about, though, because there’s always a new idea, color trend<\/a> (like these<\/a> I wrote up recently for 2026), or material popping onto our radar that makes us scream YESSSSS, including the six concepts below I’ve been noticing more and more in beautiful, finished bathrooms. Like many renovation-required trends, they tend to begin in luxury spaces, so you’ll see a lot of aspirational homes here, but that doesn’t mean you can’t borrow inspiration for your own homes from them. That, or just sit back and enjoy the show for the sake of design entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amber-Colored Tile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Last year was all about burgundy zellige tiles, but this year? Amber, caramel, and earthy mustard reign supreme. This color tile is absolutely everywhere right now and is so adaptable to many styles. Take a look above at the killer shower stall our friend Brady Tolbert designed in his home; in true Brady<\/a> style, it’s cool, contemporary, yet warm and graphically neutral. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, here, designed by the team at Dunham Robinson<\/a>, you can see a more traditional aesthetic with the chrome and stone sink, floral wallpaper, and <\/span>wavy wood mirror. The turmeric-like hue works well to draw attention away from the white fixtures, which could otherwise appear somewhat sterile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These tiles, in a bathroom by Annie Downing Interiors<\/a>, are certainly more terracotta than they are amber, but the vibes still hit the same. To me, the takeaway here is how well they play with other jewel tones and saturated shades, such as the deep, chalky blue in the other tile design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
