Let’s face it: bathrooms are where we start and end our days, and if they’re looking a little… well, questionable, it can throw off your entire vibe.
With 2025 fast approaching, it’s time to give our bathrooms a fresh upgrade and flush some outdated trends straight down the drain.
So, let’s grab our plungers and say goodbye to these six bathroom trends that are officially done.
1. The Over-the-Top Statement Bathtub (AKA the Bathtub That Takes Up Your Entire Bathroom)
Ah, the grand statement bathtub. You know the one—it’s the freestanding, oversized, whirlpool-powered monstrosity that demands its own zip code.
Sure, it’s beautiful in theory, but in practice? It eats up your entire bathroom like a greedy bath-loving monster. 2025 is all about efficient use of space, and these giant tubs?
Well, they’re officially getting the boot. It’s time to embrace sleek, functional designs that let you soak without taking up every inch of your bathroom.
Plus, let’s be real—how often do you really use that giant tub?
2. Bright Blue Tiles (When Your Bathroom Feels Like an Underwater Theme Park)
Remember the ‘90s when everyone went a little crazy with bright blue tiles in the bathroom? It was like everyone’s shower was trying to transport them to the bottom of the ocean.
Well, 2025 is here to tell you: you’re not Aquaman. Those vibrant blues are so last century. Your bathroom is not a waterpark, and it’s certainly not the set of Finding Nemo.
Opt for calming neutrals, soft pastels, or clean whites to bring a serene, spa-like atmosphere into your space. After all, you don’t need tiles that scream “Hello, I’m here to drown you in color!”
3. The “All White Everything” Bathroom
We get it: white bathrooms were once the pinnacle of cleanliness and sophistication. But in 2025, this trend is going the way of the dodo.
White everything? It’s the I’m-scrubbing-my-bathroom-twice-a-day-for-it-to-not-look-dirty look that no one has the time or energy for.
Besides, white can feel cold and sterile. Bring in some warmth, texture, and personality with earthy tones, wood accents, and subtle pops of color.
Your bathroom doesn’t need to look like a sterile operating room to be chic—unless you’re into that, in which case, good luck finding your shampoo.
4. Wall-Mounted Everything (Because Why Not Have Your Sink Hover Above You?)
If your bathroom has sinks, toilets, and storage all floating mysteriously in mid-air, it’s probably time to reconsider.
Wall-mounted fixtures were once seen as the pinnacle of modern design, but now? They’re just an exercise in anxiety.
Do you really want to spend your days cleaning under a floating sink, wondering if it’s going to fall on your feet? 2025 is about design that’s practical, grounded, and functional.
If it floats, it’s probably time to let it go—unless it’s a floating shelf. We’ll make exceptions for those.
5. The Faux Plant Explosion (Spoiler: They’re Not Fooling Anyone)
We all love the idea of lush greenery in the bathroom, but let’s be honest—if it’s not real, it’s just a dusty plastic plant that’s giving your space an “I gave up” vibe.
Faux plants might have been trendy in the past, but 2025 is ready for the real deal—or nothing at all. Let’s save those plastic monstrosities for the office.
If you can’t commit to a real plant (and we get it, the bathroom light is tricky), just leave it be.
Stick with a minimalist vibe, and if you need some greenery, opt for some well-placed real plants that are happy to soak in the humidity.
6. The Everything-But-The-Kitchen-Sink Vanities (Seriously, How Many Drawers Do You Need?)
You’ve seen them. The vanities that resemble the inside of an overstuffed suitcase—drawers everywhere, compartments for days, and enough space to store every beauty product you’ve ever owned (and some that have long since expired).
While functional, these behemoths tend to take up way more space than they’re worth. 2025 is about smart storage, not hoarding every sample-sized shampoo bottle you’ve ever received.
Let’s keep it simple: one clean vanity, organized space, and maybe a little drawer for that one thing you always misplace—your hairbrush.
