The Ultimate Guide to Bathroom Remodeling in 2025
Floating Vanities
Floating vanities combine functionality and style in ways most other bathroom fixtures can only dream of. These vanities are attached to the wall and don’t rely on pillars for support. They’re beautiful, come in a wide variety of designs and make cleaning your bathroom a breeze.
Frameless Glass Showers
Frameless glass showers don’t have a lip or ledge to step over. You can simply walk into your shower safely. Making this an amazing choice for homes with aging family members, small children, or people with mobility issues.
Keep the Entertainment Going
How much time do you spend in the bathroom? Morning routines, leisurely baths…etc. help make these activities more enjoyable by installing a small TV or sound system. Watch your favorite TV show while taking a bath or listen to the news while getting ready in the morning. The skies are the limit here.
Steam Showers
You haven’t experienced luxury until you’ve stepped into your brand new steam shower. Steam showers are like bringing a little bit of the spa experience into your home. These showers come with doors that seal tightly and add a vapor barrier around your ceiling and walls. This keeps the steam in your shower and protects your bathroom from excess moisture.
Natural Lighting
Nothing brightens up a small space and improves your mood better than natural lighting! If your bathroom is on an exterior wall, consider installing more windows to make the space more inviting. Choosing high quality windows, glass, and building materials, you can easily waterproof your new windows.
Install Radiant Floor Heating
The winters in Maryland and Washington get brutally cold! And waking up and walking across a cold bathroom floor is the worst. Radiant floor heating is the perfect solution. This heating system warms your home from the ground up.
Shower Benches
Installing a stylish shower bench is the perfect solution for your home’s standalone shower. Shower benches are great ways to provide a spa-like, relaxing feel to your shower.
Install Heated Towel Bars
Beat the wintertime blues by wrapping yourself in a warm towel after your morning shower. A popular feature in many Maryland homes in 2025 is heated towel bars.
Freestanding and Soaking Bathtubs
Feel the stress of the day melt away while soaking in your freestanding bathtub. Soaking tubs are a great option for homeowners looking to combine design with luxury and functionality.
Luxurious Showers
Your shower is your bathroom’s focal point. However, there is no rule that says a shower has to be a boring stall with a single showerhead.
Hidden Power Outlets
Installing outlets inside your vanity, drawers, or cabinets is a fantastic option to help declutter your bathrooms, countertops.
Grab Bars and Added Stability
Not to state the obvious, but showers and bathtubs are slippery. Installing grab bars or stability bars in your home’s shower or tub is a great way to ensure your bathroom is safer for everyone.
Technological Integration
Do you think it’s just because it’s your bathroom, there’s no need for technology? Not in 2025! Smart bathroom features are becoming increasingly popular in Maryland homes.
Increased Energy Efficiency
You can design your new bathroom in a way that it helps save you money down the road. For example, installing low flow shower heads are a perfect way to combine luxury and save water, lowering your utility bills.
Built In Linen Cabinets
Linen cabinets are one of those bathroom storage solutions many homeowners overlook.
Perfectly Placed Open Shelving
You’ve probably heard about open shelving for kitchens, but this trend is quickly catching on in bathroom design.
All About The Vanity
If you have the space in your Maryland bathroom, consider placing a custom designed vanity in it.
Wet Rooms
A wet room is a fantastic solution for homeowners who want a freestanding tub and separate shower, but don’t necessarily have the room for both.
Go Big Or Go Hom… To The Bathroom
An easy and popular method to enhance your bathroom’s design aesthetic is to select an oversized mirror to hang over your bathroom sink.
Tile, Tile Everywhere
Another popular design trend in 2025 is installing floor to ceiling tile in your home‘s bathroom.

You know your bathroom needs a light fixture, but who says it needs to be boring?
