7 Bathroom trends 2025-2026
You are planning a renovation or new bathroom construction? The year 2025-2026 marks a turning point in the interior design of this essential piece. At Atelier C3 Design, we closely follow emerging trends to offer our customers spaces that are aesthetic, functional and sustainable. Here are the 7 great trends to watch out for when designing a stylish, well thought-out and current bathroom.
Bathroom design trend 2025-2026 no.1 – solid surface shower base
In 2025, acrylic shower bases are coming to a close. New solid surface bases, such as those offered by Zitta (available in white, grey or black), are made from 1″ stone compounds. Their solid finish allows installation at the same level as ceramic, creating a high-end look. These bases give a refined appearance to the bathroom, and quickly become an essential choice for quality projects.
Bathroom design trend 2025-2026 no.2 – Discreet luxury
The bathroom is a place of well-being and personal rituals. In 2025, we offer ourselves small discreet luxuries: elegant taps as jewelry, high-end baths that retain heat, smart toilets, large ceramic formats, custom furniture, stone countertops… Every detail counts. This sober luxury enriches the daily experience and makes the room as beautiful as it is pleasant to live in. Each one its own luxury!

Bathroom design trend 2025-2026 no.3 – Indirect lighting
Even if it meets utilitarian needs, the bathroom deserves a warm atmosphere. Indirect lighting is gaining popularity because of its ability to create a soothing and refined atmosphere. Whether by LED strips under cabinets, wall lights or built-in ambiance, soft light transforms the space. This trend is becoming a must in renovation and new construction.

Bathroom Design Trend 2025-2026 no.4 –Warm Colored Brushed Metal Plumbing and Decorative Handles
In 2025-2026, hot metal finishes take centre stage. Caramel gold, brown, bronze and hot stainless steel dominate the choices. Polished brushed nickel is also back in vogue. At Atelier C3 Design, we advise you to harmonize the handles with the taps for a consistent design. These two industries evolve together, which allows a beautiful unity in the setting.

Bathroom design trend 2025-2026 no.5 – Living finish for taps and handles
The so-called “living” finishes are attracting increasing interest in Quebec. They are materials that evolve over time, bearing traces of wear and patina. This natural aging makes each piece unique. Brands like Rubinet propose warm finishes such as TB or OB, perfect for a bathroom with a lively and authentic aesthetic.

Bathroom Design Trend 2025-2026 no.6 – Countertop Sink
Practicality prevails in our living spaces, and the bathroom is no exception. In 2025, the trend is towards moulded washbasin furniture, where the countertop directly integrates the sink. This solution facilitates maintenance while offering an impeccable visual rendering. Atelier C3 Design’s new hand-made washbasins, available soon from Lacroix, meet this need in style. Available in solid surface and several trendy shades for 2026.

Bathroom Design Trend 2025-2026 no.7 – Large niche and integrated shelf
The shower niches have become essential. In 2025, they are rethought in an enlarged version or continuous shelf, depending on the space available. They also fit into the bathroom elsewhere to add both architectural style and functionality. A well-designed large tablet creates an impression of elegance and refinement.
