2023 Bathroom Remodeling Trends

While every new year represents a fresh start and the opportunity to make positive changes, for homeowners contemplating a bathroom remodel, 2023 marks a true turning point in expanded possibilities. With the pandemic no longer front and center and supply chain issues easing, renovations that may have been put on hold are now back on the front burner. The next 12 months are expected to be a banner year for bathroom makeovers. If you’re planning a renovation, it’s important to remember there’s no wrong way to remodel your bathroom—except for bright orange shag carpeting. That would be wrong. Otherwise, if it makes you happy, go for it. There are, however, some notable bathroom remodeling trends you may want to consider as you plan your bathroom transformation.

Master Bathroom Remodeling Trends

For large bathrooms, 2023 is the Year of Retro Chic. Bold colors, bold shapes, and bold centerpiece arrangements are all the rage. Gone are the days of all-white toilets, tubs, and sinks. Bright hues are a great way to draw the eye and tie bathroom elements together in a way that emphasizes their roles as both functional elements and artistic expressions. Of course, “bright” isn’t synonymous with “garish.” Popular sink, toilet, and tub colors include turquoise, plumb, and peach.

In terms of tiling, terrazzo has made a major comeback. A staple of Art Deco bathrooms in the 1920s, terrazzo fell out of favor in the 1950s for simpler patterns and single-color titles. Now, the speckled surface is being used not only as flooring but also wall tiles and countertops.

But the bold flourishes don’t end with color and tile options. Mirrors are getting in on the act as well. In addition to backlight options that turn your looking glass into a glowing frame of accent illumination, irregular shapes are transforming the standard circle, square, or oval into a whimsical reflective canvas with rounded corners flowing into slanted edges and angles that are anything but 90 degrees.

Small Bathrooms

Just because a bathroom has limited space doesn’t mean it has to be an also-ran when it comes to style. Opportunities for decorative flourishes abound! Take the basin for instance. Once upon a time, a small bathroom meant settling for a basic pedestal sink. Not anymore. Today, there are a plethora of elegant basin options that are lean without being minimalistic. From basins that mimic natural rock formations to stacked hardwood rings of alternating colors, almost anything is possible in terms of design. Freestanding sinks are growing in popularity every year. Disassociated from the cabinetry of a vanity, these slender basins allow for unconventional alternative storage options such as wall-mounted baskets and storage ladders.

Another hot trend for small bathrooms is using reflective surfaces to make the room appear larger. In addition to a grand mirror that takes up the entire wall behind the vanity, glossy tiling and metal accents can create a dazzling effect that makes the entire bathroom shimmer and glow.

Powder Rooms

Powder rooms are like your little sister doing cartwheels in the corner during family reunions: she has to be a bit flamboyant to garner attention. This small room is the place to take big risks and make design choices that offer maximum visual impact in small packages. Since powder rooms usually only have the basics of a toilet, sink, vanity, and mirror, design elements are limited. But that can be a good thing. Less clutter means a cleaner canvas. A single standout may be enough to wow your guests. Want something dark and moody? How about dark purple walls and a vanity countertop of purple-veined Calacatta Viola marble? Or perhaps the striking juxtaposition of a craftsman-style cabinet with the sleek, modern glamor of an LED front-lighted mirror is more your style? The powder room is the place to be decoratively daring!
