The beginning of the year is an excellent time to refresh and upgrade your space—what better place to start than the room you use daily, the primary bathroom.
Upgrade your bathroom for enhanced relaxation and functionality, and even increase your home’s value.
Let’s see what’s trending this year.
2025 Trending Bathroom Styles
Modern Minimalism
If modern or minimalist designs are your style, try incorporating clean lines, floating vanities, neutral color palettes, frameless glass showers, wall-mounted faucets, or hidden storage solutions for a simple yet beautiful, clutter-free look.
Spa-Like Retreat
Comfortable soaking tubs, rain showers, or calming color palettes are an excellent choice for a spa-like primary bathroom. Add heated towel racks, soft lighting, and natural elements like stone or wood for a neutral and peaceful atmosphere.
Classic Elegance
Timeless materials like marble, gold, or brass accents, vintage-style fixtures (like those from Luxart, Artisan, and Mirabelle), intricate tile patterns, freestanding bathtubs, and more add sophistication and a certain uniqueness to your Fox Valley area home.
If you’re unsure what direction you’d like to take with the fixtures in your bathroom, schedule a visit to our Menasha showroom! Our team will help you choose the best fixtures to match your style.
Smart & High-Tech Bathrooms
Touchless faucets, heated floors, digital shower controls, smart mirrors with LED displays, bidet toilets with customizable settings, and app-controlled water temperature and usage tracking are all must-have essentials for a high-tech primary bathroom.
Must-Have Features for a Luxurious Primary Bathroom
Walk-In Showers
Walk-in showers with built-in storage, dual showerheads, waterfall showerheads, and frameless glass doors can make your primary bathroom beautiful. With a walk-in shower, your showering experience can be elevated while giving you peace of mind as you age in your home.
Double Vanities
Maximize counter space and storage for you and your partner with dual sinks in your primary bathroom. Double vanities also offer ample drawer and cabinet space while offering soft-close features and stylish quartz or marble countertop materials. Add under-vanity lighting for an elevated look.
Walk-In Tubs
If you love a good bath after a long day, look no further than a walk-in tub. These tubs can have body jets for a spa-like experience and built-in seating for long, relaxing soaks. With quality sealing and less strain on your body, walk-in tubs are an excellent choice for a bathroom upgrade this new year.
Upgraded Toilets
Bidet attachments, comfort-height designs, water-efficient models, and heated seats for those fridged Wisconsin winters make upgrading your toilet a top priority this year.
Plumbing Upgrades for a Functional Bathroom
High-Efficiency Fixtures
Dual-flush toilets and pressure-boosting showerheads are excellent additions to your bathroom. These upgrades maintain strong water pressure while helping you make eco-friendly choices for your home. Adding smart fixtures can also help you track water usage, lower water bills, and save money.
Tankless Water Heaters
An endless hot water supply with energy savings sounds like the perfect combination for most Fox Valley area residents. Tankless water heaters heat water on demand compared to traditional water heaters that store gallons of hot water, reducing standby energy consumption and heat loss.
Additional benefits include a longer lifespan compared to traditional water heaters. They also save more space, freeing up your home’s storage space.
Better Drainage Solutions
Prevent clogged pipes and maintain proper water flow by upgrading your Primary bathroom to large-diameter drains and adding hair-catching strainers. Our team can also work with you to add backflow prevention valves to help avoid slow drains and costly backups.
Upgraded Piping
If you own an older Wisconsin home, replace old pipes for better water pressure and fewer leaks. Switch to galvanized steel, copper, or PEX for durability. Improving your home’s pipes can also reduce the risk of corrosion, mineral buildup, and water contamination.
