1Geometric Patterns
Kara Mercer "Expect a surge in the popularity of patterns in both flooring and wall designs in 2024. The focus won't necessarily be on colorful pattern designs but on the tile arrangements. Think geometric patterns such as chevron, basketweave and herringbone layouts to take center stage." — Jessica Dorling, owner and principal designer of Dorling Design Studio
2Steam Showers

There's increased interest in spa-like amenities in bathrooms, including steam showers and saunas. Steam showers have been at the top of the list as science has shown they may contribute to allergy relief, lower blood pressure and better sleep." — Wendy Glaister, interior designer and allied member of ASID
3Wet Rooms
Dustin Halleck "I hope more people will lean into is the concept of a wet room. Incorporating a bath tub right into your shower space — not the tub showers you had growing up — allows you to soak while capturing the steam and heat in the space, making the tub experience even more luxurious." — Devon Wegman, design director and founder of DGI Design x Build

4Playful Wallpaper
Ye Rin Mok "Bathrooms are the perfect place to go a bit over the top and showcase your personality by using wallpaper as your hero piece. There is so much fabulous paper in the marketplace that there's truly something for everyone — from small, classic prints to exotic toiles and florals to mural-like papers similar to what we used here." — Betsy Burnham, founder and principal of Burnham Design
5Peachy Tones
Kohler Co. "I'm a big fan of the Peach Fuzz color. In bright spaces, peach hues can feel vibrant and energizing, yet it can seamlessly transition into a neutral, calm and relaxing color in dimmer settings." — Justina Blakeney, interior designer and ambassador for Kohler
6Stacked Subway Tiles
Natalia Robert "It doesn’t get more classic than subway tile, but instead of the traditional brick lay, put a modern spin by stacking the tiles, either vertically or horizontally. You can also opt for a hand-molded look, instead of a completely perfect rectangle, to bring an artisan flair to your space." — Jennifer Verruto, founder and CEO of Blythe Interiors

7Separate Sinks
KARYN R MILLET "If space allows, ditch the long double vanity and separate the sinks for a total personal space experience. I love the idea of a bathtub between the two, but a tree or vintage coat rack makes for a more interesting bathroom installation." — Raili Clasen, interior designer and author of Surf Style at Home
8Textured Tiles
PIRCH "Elevate your kitchen or bath ambiance with the allure of textured tiles, also known as tactile or 3D tiles. This transformative addition not only enhances the visual appeal of a space but also introduces layers, dimension and a tactile experience for the user." — Amber Peterson, designer for PIRCH
9Moody Powder Rooms
Sam Frost Studio "The powder room is the jewel box of the house and a space to have a little fun and be bold. Here, Lone Park Roman Clay by Portola Paints adds an extra depth to the room and plays with the reflection of the light in the space. We like when the powder room serves as a little surprise for guests as they experience the home." — Brittany Zwickl, partner and principal designer for Studio Life/Style

10Dramatic Wet Walls
Lam Photography "Spa-like bathrooms will continue to dominate in 2024, but we'll see drama added in the form of wet walls — entire walls covered in tile or mosaic instead of sheetrock or millwork. Not only do they instantly elevate a bathroom design, they're also functional — bathing kids or fur-babies with a wet wall surround makes clean-up a lot easier." — Jeanne Barber, founder of Camden Grace Interiors
11Backlit Mirrors

12Natural Materials
Kirsten Francis "Natural materials, like marble, wood, ceramic and clay, will be more prominent in bathrooms in 2024. They infuse any space, including bathrooms, with richness and warmth." — Molly Torres Portnof, founder of DATE Interiors

 "I'm looking forward to incorporating fixtures with curvature in the new year as they not only add a contemporary feel to the room, but also create the illusion of a spa-like bathroom, providing a sense of relaxation anyone would want." — Lindye Galloway, chief creative officer of Lindye Galloway Studio + Shop
14Textured Stone Accents
BJORG MAGNEA "The trend of bold, veiny stone accents will stay strong next year. Often, we see people wanting to keep their millwork simple, with a feature element of colorful stone that adds visual texture to the space." — Philip Consalvo, principal at PJCArchitecture
15Plaster Shower Walls
Lauren Taylor "In 2024, we're going to see less tile in the shower and more of the plastered look. If Europeans use plaster for their bathrooms and showers without tile, then we're going to see more of that catching on as people don't want to deal with cleaning grout." — Linda Hayslett, founder of LH.Designs

16Floating Vanities
Abigail Jackson "Floating vanities are super on-trend right now, especially if they have a lot of drawers for storage." — Lori Moscato, owner of Casual Elegance Designs
17Spa Features
Paige Rumore "With the push to work from home and exercise at home, we'll see more spa time at home. Steam showers, infrared saunas and cold plunges are being incorporated more and more into our designs as they get more affordable and accessible. Though there is a premium to having these types of treatments, the likelihood of regular use is much higher and a real selling point over a membership to a spa." — Brad Ramsey, interior designer
