Today’s bathrooms aren’t just practical — they’re personal, luxurious and built to last. Homeowners are thinking ahead with accessibility upgrades, carving out room for wellness and self-care features and embracing wet rooms for both flair and function. Most homeowners are calling in the pros to make it happen, and they’re willing to invest, especially when it comes to bigger, bolder remodels, according to the 2025 U.S. Houzz Bathroom Trends Study. Here’s more on those big-picture ideas from the just-released report.
1. Accessibility Remains a Priority
Accessibility is top of mind for many remodelers. More than two-thirds of homeowners (68%) factor special needs into their bathroom projects — a 4-point jump from last year. While nearly a third (31%) expect these needs to arise within the next 12 months, many are planning further ahead. Almost half (47%) anticipate special needs emerging five or more years from now.
Renovating homeowners are adding many features to safely support aging in place. Grab bars (61%) and nonslip flooring (55%) top the list, followed by low-curb showers (52%) for easier entry and extra lighting (31%) to better spot hazards. Curbless showers (28%) offer seamless access for wheelchairs and walkers.
