Bathroom renovations remain one of the most valuable investments for homeowners, both for boosting resale value and improving daily comfort. According to the 2025 Houzz Bathroom Trends Study, the median spend on bathroom remodels in 2024 was $13,000, with major renovations averaging $22,000. Instead of complete overhauls, most homeowners focus on system upgrades like ventilation, heating and plumbing improvements, while nearly 40% expand their showers. Accent walls are also making a splash in bathrooms, with blue emerging as the most popular choice.
Other trends highlight the growing demand for functionality and luxury. Wet rooms, designed to maximize space and accessibility, are becoming more common, often paired with freestanding flat-bottom tubs and soaking tubs as top picks. Homeowners are also prioritizing convenience with soft-close drawers and cabinets, which are now included in more than three-quarters of bathroom remodels. Together, these trends show that bathroom renovations are about blending practicality, relaxation and modern design, making them a smart and stylish investment.
