Thinking about a bathroom remodel in 2026? This is what’s hot and what’s not.
2026 bathroom styles emphasize warm, organic, and spa-like retreats, with warm earthy tones, mixed metal finishes and natural materials.
Let’s look at what’s out and what’s IN!
OUT. Overly dramatic, high contrast veined surfaces.
IN! Quieter, more balanced subtle patterns with warmer tones.
OUT. Closed-in or fully enclosed showers, particularly those with bulky frames or curtains.
IN! Frameless glass, doorless layouts for a cleaner, spa-like, and more spacious feel. Open showers increase perceived room size, improve accessibility, and reduce mold.
OUT. Fat, hard to clean grout lines. Thick, high-contrast grout creates “noise,” breaking up the visual flow of a space, which can make rooms feel smaller and busier.
IN! Minimalist & Seamless: The trend is toward thinner grout lines (1/16 ) and using large-format tiles to reduce the total amount of grout. Solid surface is also a great choice to reduce grout.
