What's Trending in Primary Baths?

Fixr has released its 2023 Bathroom Trends Report whose findings are consistent with demands we are seeing among homeowners in Athens, OH. The major trends found are as follows:

Homeowners in Athens, OH continue to work full time or part time from their homes. They want a sanctuary space where they can spend a few minutes all to themselves, devoid of texts, tweets and even little feet, to recharge, refresh and wash away the stresses of the day. Half of respondents to the Fixr survey cited the ability to create an in-home spa experience as a top priority. Creating a calming environment can be accomplished with the use of wood-look and natural materials in addition to specifying products that provide different types of therapies that include message, color, sound and light in shower systems and tubs.

Fixr found that homeowners are gravitating toward more patterned tiles and wallcoverings to add depth, interest and dimension to the bath. 36% of bath design professionals surveyed cited this as a major trend.

Backlit mirrors are another popular bathroom trend due to their aesthetic and ability to provide task lighting for applying makeup and shaving and ambient lighting to set the mood for the bath. Many backlit mirrors have special capabilities including antifog features and even internet connectivity.

Top priorities for bath upgrades are:

  • Showers (65%)
  • Vanities (44%)
  • Layout (43%)
  • Fixtures (sinks, toilets, etc.)
  • Flooring (25%)
  • Lighting (18%)
