Are you wondering what bathroom design trends are in and out for 2021? Keep reading to find out.
Remember that trends and styles are always changing. You might love these trends, or you might really dislike them, and that’s okay! The most important part of interior design is creating a space that you love, is functional for your life, and feels like home.
OUT: TRADITIONAL SCONES
IN: STATEMENT LIGHTING
The first bathroom design trend that is heading out for 2021 is traditional sconces. Today’s bathrooms are taking center stage and featuring highly decorative design elements.
For lighting fixtures that are in, try statement pendants or even chandeliers. These are functional and add a stylish touch.




OUT: CLEAN & POLISHED LOOK
IN: BOLDER THE BETTER
The next bathroom design trend that is currently out is the clean and polished look. This bathroom design can be described as timeless and will look beautiful no matter what, but it can be a little boring.
The trend that is in is the bolder the better. Graphic and colorful walls and colored tiles make a fun statement in a room that can usually feel a little cold. If you’re not quite into the colorful, a bold design using natural elements, such as stone, concrete and wood is also very on trend.

OUT: SHOWER & TUB COMBO
IN: FREESTANDING TUBS
Up next for our out list, we have the classic shower and tub combo.
For what’s in, freestanding tubs are one of the most popular bathroom design elements right now. This may not be possible in every bathroom, and we understand that. But for those with the space, or building new, a freestanding tub and spa shower are the perfect options to create that relaxing sanctuary we are all seeking right now, especially in the master bathroom.




OUT: TRADITIONAL B&W FLOOR TILES
IN: B&W FLOOR TILES WITH A TWIST
When it comes to floor tiles, traditional patterned black and white tiles are heading out.
But black and white floor tiles, with a twist are still very in. Mosaic, geometric shapes and interesting patterns create a classic look that feels fresh and updated.




OUT: BASIC BATHROOM
IN: UPGRADED BATHROOM
Last on our out list is the basic bathroom. When we say basic, we’re not talking about a specific look or style. In this case basic means the bathrooms we have all known before.
Now that we’re spending so much time at home, everyone is looking to update their spaces to create convenience, comfort, ease and eco-friendliness.
Bidets, smart toilets and vanities, heating elements, high-tech shower heads, self cleaning features and more are all in.
