Bathroom Trends That Are Going Out

September 16, 2025

Avoid designing a bathroom that dates quickly with these tips!

Bathrooms are significant parts of your house that you should not overlook, especially if you are building a new home. Make every space count with the design, elements, and finishes that make you happy. If you want a bathroom, whether it’s a powder room or a master bath, to look beautiful over the years, there are some bathroom trends that are going out of style. Here is what you might want to avoid.

All-White Bathrooms

All-white bathrooms can easily look sterile, cold, and uninviting. Given its small size and significant purposes, any bathroom can take on its own style while staying congruous with the rest of the house. All-white bathrooms are going out of style, but colorful, earth-tone, and historic styles are in fashion.

Wide Grout Lines

Tiled floors and walls might continue to be popular, but obvious grout lines are not. They are famous for crumbling over the years and being hard to clean. They get dark over time and can even accumulate mold. Seamless tiles are sleek and look fantastic on floors and shower walls.

Tiled Countertops

Some kitchens, wet bars, and bathrooms have tiled countertops, and while this style might feel homey and vintage to some, it is dated to others. This trend might have been popular for a while, but smooth countertops made of quartz, marble, or another natural stone are more popular now.

Jacuzzi Tubs

Unfortunately, the large-scale whirlpool tubs that would sit in an alcove or in the corner have been losing popularity over the past decade or so. Difficult to clean and rarely used, many people fail to make the most of this spa feature. Unless you really use this kind of tub regularly, it is not so worth it.

Exposed Light Bulbs

Sconces, backlit mirrors, and chandeliers are all beautiful bathroom lighting design options today. The dressing room mirror bulb lights are too garish and tacky in contemporary bathrooms. Thankfully, with Ameri-Star Homes, you will have many stylish options to choose from.
