7 Bathroom Trends for 2027–2028
The bathroom is taking on a bigger role in home design. A shower, a bathtub and enough storage are still essentials, but homeowners also want a well-lit room that feels good to use every day and suits their routines.
Bathroom trends for 2027–2028 put the focus on organic shapes, durable materials, thoughtfully planned storage and personal details. Some trends make an immediate impression; others show up in the finer points of a layout. Here are seven bathroom trends to consider for your next renovation or new build.
2027–2028 Bathroom Trend No. 1: Organic Shapes and Textures
Organic shapes continue to make their way into bathrooms, softening the straight lines common in cabinetry, tile and architectural details. Think rounded mirrors, gently curved basins, vanities with rounded fronts or accessories with softer silhouettes.
Texture matters, too. Lightly textured tile, a raised surface or a material with natural variation can add depth without adding more décor. You can introduce this look gradually: a mirror, a light fixture or a softly shaped basin can already change the feel of the room.
2027–2028 Bathroom Trend No. 2: Shower Niches with Integrated Lighting
A shower niche has become a popular storage solution in bathroom renovations. It keeps products within reach without adding a shelf that takes up shower space. For 2027–2028, prefabricated niches with LED lighting bring an extra dimension to the shower. Odass products, available from Lacroix, combine storage and lighting in a single shower feature. Some models can also be fitted with a motion sensor that switches the light on automatically.
Beyond their practical role, these niches become an architectural feature. The lighting highlights the shower finish, adds character and makes the space easier to use.
Prefabricated models can also simplify some installation steps compared with a niche built entirely on site. Choose one that suits the available dimensions, shower layout and planned finish.
In a bathroom renovation, this detail brings storage, lighting and design together. To explore the different Odass options, visit Lacroix.

2027–2028 Bathroom Trend No. 3: The Compact Kerid Tub with a Seat
Compact tubs with a built-in seat, such as the Victoria + Albert model available at Lacroix in Quebec City, stand out for their versatility. At 53 × 32 inches, the Kerid can be used for a relaxing hot soak or an at-home cold plunge. Depending on the space available, it can fit into a large bathroom, a primary bedroom or a wellness area such as a home gym.
Its main appeal is versatility. A compact tub can leave room for storage, a shower, a vanity or a clear walkway. As always, start with how you plan to use it. Before choosing a model, check its dimensions, the clearance it needs and how it fits into the overall layout.
2027–2028 Bathroom Trend No. 4: Antique Bronze
Warmer metal finishes are also finding their place in bathroom design. Antique bronze stands out for its rich colour and warmer look than some traditional metal finishes.
You can use it on:
- Faucets
- Handles
- Accessories
- Selected light fixtures
If you’d like to see this finish in person, Lacroix is a good place to explore the details that can complete your project.
Antique bronze pairs especially well with wood and natural stone. Repeating the finish on faucets and hardware ties the vanity, shower and accessories together for a cohesive look.
In a renovation, details like these often make the difference. Choosing the same finish for your faucets and hardware is a simple way to introduce antique bronze and keep the room balanced.
2027–2028 Bathroom Trend No. 5: The Handcrafted Oré Sink
In 2027–2028, distinctive, customizable pieces bring design and function together. One example is the handcrafted Oré sink by Atelier C3 Design, made to suit each project. Depending on the layout, it can have one or two basins and practical features such as a towel holder or a hair styling tool holder. You can also add a 4-inch backsplash and choose from 12 colours to coordinate with the other bathroom finishes.
The material can be repaired, which helps extend the sink’s useful life. Its one-piece design has rounded corners built into the basin, with no visible joints, making everyday cleaning easier. It brings together good looks, durability, easy maintenance and customization. The choices go beyond appearance: dimensions, features and everyday needs can all be considered from the start.
2027–2028 Bathroom Trend No. 6: Rounded Details
Curves are a natural part of the organic-shapes trend, but they deserve a closer look because they can be used in almost any part of a bathroom project.
Look for them in:
- A vanity with rounded fronts
- A countertop with curved corners
- Faucets with softer lines
- A round or organically shaped mirror
- A light fixture with a rounded silhouette
- Hardware with a subtle retro influence
You can bring this trend into a room with just a few details. If a fully rounded vanity doesn’t suit the project, a round mirror, curved faucet or subtle retro touch may be enough. Mixed with straighter lines, curves can give the room a pleasing balance.
2027–2028 Bathroom Trend No. 7: A Signature Finish Inside Cabinets
In 2027–2028, finishing details go beyond what you see with the doors closed. Cabinet interiors offer another chance to personalize the furniture. In a custom vanity, for example, the interiors of drawers, doors or cabinet boxes can have a distinctive finish in place of standard white. The effect is especially striking when you open a door or drawer: it gives the cabinetry a more considered look without changing the whole bathroom.
At Atelier C3 Design, we can give vanity cabinet interiors a signature finish for a refined look, even in less visible spaces. These finishes add a personal touch and are easy to maintain, a practical consideration in a room exposed to moisture and daily use. You might not notice the finish at first glance, but you’ll appreciate it every time you open a drawer or cabinet.
Bathroom trends for 2027–2028 go beyond a new colour or a fashionable material. They reflect a desire for a room that’s more comfortable, personal and pleasant to use. Rounded shapes, textures, built-in storage, warm metal finishes and customizable pieces can work in many types of projects. Choose the details that meet the needs of the people using the space and will still serve them well in a few years.
