The Latest Bathroom Trends Are Indulgent—and Totally Worth It

Fine trimmings are usually reserved for dining rooms, dens, and bedrooms—think banquettes accessorized with bouillon fringe or windows dressed as fashionably as runway models. After touring the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show in February, however, it’s clear that bathrooms are worthy of donning dazzling accessories of their own. Bathrooms have slowly evolved from utilitarian spaces (the one we promise ourselves we’ll redo in the next renovation) to the new hot destinations within our homes, turned into spa-like wellness retreats or opulent dressing rooms.
A few emerging trends at KBIS included mixed metal finishings, sculptural tubs and sinks, and color galore (yes, green isn’t going anywhere soon). Above all, we saw that the industry is ready to give the bathroom its glamorous glow up. Here, five of our favorite finds for bringing sparkle and shine.
3D-Printed Sinks
Kohler spotlighted its method of 3D printing with the vitreous china Rista bathroom sink. The bowl’s undulating interior surface resembles water carving through rock over centuries. With a natural clay body finished in clear glaze, it’s a statement-making centerpiece for a powder bath.
Metallic Bathtubs
House of Rohl’s Victoria + Albert introduced its Luminaries collection—hand-polished freestanding bathtubs in three incandescent finishes including Sparkling Champagne, Stardust, and Shimmering Sand. What an opulent spot to unwind with a book and a glass of bubbly.
Curved Silhouettes
U.K.-based Kast has entered the American market with a colorful splash. Each of their concrete wash basins is crafted in their Sherwood Forest studio. Their playful Wave collection embraces curves, flaunting whimsical silhouettes like scalloped edges and fluted detailing in 28 vibrant shades.
Design-Forward Hardware
Hardware is like jewelry for a bathroom—especially so with Belwith Keeler’s award-winning Bijou collection. Newly introduced pieces, all inspired by history, include the Meandros, a brass Greek key-shaped pull symbolizing eternal motion as well as the bonds of life and love.
Sleek and Sophisticated Finishes
Kallista’s new 002 collection bridges minimalism and glamour with sleek cross handles topped with Italian rose quartz, white Carrara, and Zebra jasper. The natural stones can pair with five different finishes for a custom—and totally fabulous—look.
