Today, bathroom design is all about merging style, performance, and personal expression to create spaces that reflect who you are, who you want to be, and how you want to feel. Most of us accept the idea that our environments can impact our physical, emotional, and mental health, so it makes sense that a bathroom designed with wellness in mind can help us unwind, rejuvenate, and indulge in moments of self-care.   

Current bathroom-design trends focus on creating a harmonious balance between aesthetics and practicality, featuring clean lines, minimalist aesthetics, and organic, natural materials. Incorporating smart technology, eco-friendly features, and luxurious elements such as freestanding bathtubs and statement-making fixtures, many of today's bathroom designs aim to elevate the everyday routine into a relaxing experience. From calming spa-like retreats to bold and artistic expressions, bathroom design offers endless possibilities for creating spaces that inspire and restore. Whether you're planning a renovation or simply seeking inspiration, check out our seven favorite 2023 bathroom trends and design ideas.

STEAM SHOWERS | SPA INSPIRED BATHROOMS

Offering numerous science-backed health benefits, steam showers have emerged as a popular bathroom design trend for those looking for a dose of quotidien luxury and revitalization. From steam shower controls to steam shower steamheads and other steam shower accessories, today’s steam therapy products have come a long way, often offering innovative bells and whistles like aromatherapy and chromatherapy. Spa-inspired bathroom moments at home are now a veritable possibility.

DESIGN SHOWER DRAINS

It may seem like a minor detail, but a decorative shower drain can add a small, or even a big splash of style and help level up your bathroom’s vibe. From maximalist to minimalist designs, high-end brands like Infinity Drain and QM Drain offer some of the most beautiful shower drains available in materials like tile, stone, concrete and myriad others. Beyond their aesthetic properties, many of the custom shower drains we offer are specifically engineered to provide efficient water flow and prevent standing water and clogged pipes.

JET SHOWERS

Therapeutic water experiences are becoming increasingly popular in today’s residential and commercial luxury bathrooms with products like body massage sprays or rain shower heads. These innovative fixtures offer an invigorating and powerful showering experience like no other. With strategically placed jets that deliver powerful streams of water, jet showers can target specific sore muscles to reduce tension and relax your body and mind. They also look good—some of the world’s best kitchen and bath brands produce premium jet showers in ultra-sleek, chic designs that add elegance to any bathroom.

BATHROOM REFRIGERATION

As it turns out, refrigerators are not limited to kitchen and bar areas. In fact, here in L.A. we’re seeing an uptick in homeowners and designers creating refrigeration moments in their bathrooms. If that surprises you, let us explain. The trend isn’t focused on extending the kitchen into the bathroom, but on elevating the bathroom space with a subtle splash of convenience and luxury. Seamlessly integrating a small, often entirely hidden fridge is a smart way to keep bottled water, beverages, and creamers for your morning java, fresh, chilled, and close at hand. Additionally, some vitamins and medications are best kept cool, and, if you haven't applied cold eye creams, moisturizers, and lotions—try it, you’ll thank us later.

SMART TOILETS AND BIDETS | SMART BATHROOM TECHNOLOGY

It's no surprise that smart technologies we've seen integrated into products like fire alarms, watches, security systems, fitness trackers, and even large appliances like refrigerators and washers and dryers, are finding their way into kitchens and bathrooms. Aimed at giving consumers more control over every aspect of their lives, we've seen a growing demand for smart toilets and bidet seats that offer enhanced comfort, hygiene and convenience. Smart toilets and bidet seats from tech-savvy brands like Toto, Duravit, Icera, and Kohler not only have extraordinarily high IQ's, but EQ's as well.

TOUCHLESS FAUCETS

Touchless faucets, also known as sensor faucets or hands-free faucets do exactly what you would expect—they generate a flow of water without physically having to touch the faucet itself. You've probably used touchless faucets in commercial spaces like movie theaters and restaurants, but these cutting-edge bathroom accessories are also becoming common in residential spaces. Hands-free faucets come with many benefits. For instance, they're convenient to use since you don't have turn handles or knobs—a simple wave or motion of the hand will activate water flow. And, because you're not touching the faucet itself, you're promoting good hygiene by minimizing the opportunity to spread and pick up unwanted germs and bacteria. Of course sensor faucets come in a variety of sleek and modern designs and finishes from the world's best brands like Gessi, Chicago Faucets and Brizo, but they can also save you money since they only turn on when you're using the sink and then automatically turn off when you're done. Studies have shown that touchless faucets can help you save hundreds of gallons of water over time and of course, water conservation is more important than ever.
