Homeowners looking for bathroom design ideas are pulling inspiration from style-forward boutique hotels as well as nature. 

These are two of many trends identified in the latest annual National Kitchen & Bath Association report. Sweeten reports on their in-depth look at the latest trends from a survey of over 700 designers, architects, contractors, and showroom managers.

Sweeten matches home renovation projects with vetted general contractors, offering advice, support, and up to $50,000 in renovation financial protection—for free.

2022 bathroom designs

For several years, white and gray have been the central colors to bathroom design. However, homeowners are now leaning towards a more organic style. The colors of natural materials, like wood and stone, play a role.

The second most popular look is the clean lines of contemporary. Transitional style, a mix of contemporary and traditional design, follows as the third most popular.

Bathroom color ideas

About 50 percent of industry professionals surveyed said homeowners are choosing warmer hues. Bathrooms have a warmer look with cream, instead of white, as the go-to neutral color. 

Homeowners contrast these warmer hues with accents in teal, green, and blue to bring a vivid pop of color.

Finshes and decor

Faucets and vanity hardware in metal tones, such as gold and copper, are bringing even more warmth to new bathrooms.

The trend of looking to boutique hotels for bathroom design ideas translates into bolder choices. For example, floor-to-ceiling tiles in a calming teal or a few quirky items like avant-garde towel hooks make an appearance.

Bathroom technology

As the look of bathrooms finds inspiration from nature, the function of bathrooms is increasingly using technology. Millennials entering the housing market in high numbers influence this trend.

For instance, heated floors and showers are controlled through mobile devices. Voice-activated toilets, showers, and lighting are gaining popularity.

Gadgets are new additions in the bathroom. Think scales that synch with wellness apps or mirrors that display the weather and your calendar.

Stylist: Emily Bowser Before: Turn a must-do gut reno into a custom master bath remodel When they bought the Spanish Revival Mediterranean in South L.A.’s Park Mesa Heights, they’d pulled off a victory: a first-time home purchase in SoCal. But Liz and Kevin’s 1923 house had a secret: water damage beneath the master bathroom floor, thanks to a shower pan installed incorrectly a decade before. “To deal with it,” said Liz, the executive director of an education nonprofit, “we needed to take the bathroom down to the studs.” With this, Liz and Kevin started planning for a bath remodel in their L.A. home. Liz and Kevin, a technical production senior manager at Disney Studios, viewed the dank discovery as an opportunity “to add storage and maximize space,” Liz said. But also to showcase their style. The two Mid-Century enthusiasts, who li...
