EARTHY TILES

Earth-toned tile is one of the biggest trends in bathrooms for 2025—and it’s not going anywhere. Think warm beige, soft cream, dusty terracotta, and even touches of mauve and clay. These hues create a soothing, grounded feel that pairs perfectly with natural woods and stone finishes. At ENE Builders, we love using these palettes to craft a warm and organic look that still feels elevated. Whether used on the floor, walls, or in the shower, earthy tiles invite a sense of calm and comfort that’s perfect for a bathroom retreat.

BOLD COLORS

We’re seeing more homeowners move away from all-white bathrooms and lean into bold, saturated colors. Deep greens, burnt oranges, mauve, navy, and even black are stealing the spotlight. These colors bring depth, mood, and drama to a space while still feeling refined. Used thoughtfully—whether on cabinetry, tile, or even ceilings—bold colors make a statement without overwhelming. Our design team works closely with clients to balance color with texture and lighting for a space that feels rich, yet livable.

SIMPLICITY

Minimalist design continues to thrive, especially in bathrooms where less really is more. A clean, clutter-free layout with simple lines, neutral colors, and open space creates a spa-like freshness. We love designing with floating vanities, hidden storage, seamless showers, and soft whites to keep the room feeling open and airy. It’s not about being sterile—it’s about being intentional. Everything has a purpose, and everything feels fresh and timeless.

CENTERPIECE SINKS

xcxSay goodbye to the standard vanity. In 2025, sinks are becoming sculptural focal points that turn functional spaces into design statements. Whether it’s a hand-carved stone vessel or a colorful ceramic basin from a local artisan, a centerpiece sink adds personality and character. These eye-catching designs are perfect for powder rooms or guest baths where you can afford to get a little playful. ENE Builders helps source and install these one-of-a-kind pieces that truly elevate the room.

LIGHTING

Lighting is everything in a bathroom, and sconce lighting is having a major moment. Placing sconces beside or between mirrors creates flattering, even lighting that’s both functional and beautiful. We’ve been incorporating everything from modern brass to vintage-inspired sconces depending on the style of the home. Not only does it elevate your vanity area, but it also creates ambiance that overhead lighting simply can’t replicate.

NATURAL ELEMENTS

Incorporating natural elements is key to that warm, organic modern feel. Think wood vanities, exposed stone, handmade tiles, brass fixtures, and even greenery. These touches help create a connection to nature, adding texture, warmth, and authenticity to your space. We love bringing in plants (when natural light allows), or using real materials that age beautifully over time. Natural materials also tend to be more durable and eco-conscious—a win-win in design.

WALLPAPER

Wallpaper is no longer reserved for the powder room—though that’s a great place to start! In 2025, bold, textured, or subtly patterned wallpaper is being used to create contrast and interest in bathrooms of all sizes. It’s a great way to add a personal touch or bring in color and pattern without committing to tile or paint. From soft florals to dramatic geometrics, wallpaper makes the space feel intentional, curated, and a little unexpected.

WELLNESS AT HOME

Bathrooms are becoming personal wellness retreats. From soaking tubs to rainfall showerheads, the design focus is on creating calm, restorative spaces. We’ve been designing with wellness in mind—incorporating ambient lighting, essential oil diffusers, heated floors, and built-in benches for rest and relaxation. Even small touches like better acoustics or sound systems can make a big difference. Your bathroom should feel like a getaway—right at home.

TILES

A subtle design move that has a major impact—taking tile all the way up to the ceiling. It instantly makes a space feel taller, sleeker, and more intentional. Whether it’s subway tile, zellige, or bold patterned ceramic, wrapping the walls in tile brings polish and continuity. We especially love this look in shower enclosures or around soaking tubs where it really makes the architecture shine.

FREESTANDING TUB

Freestanding soaker tubs continue to rise in popularity—and for good reason. These sculptural tubs instantly elevate the look of any bathroom, adding a luxurious, spa-like feel that built-in combos just can’t match. Not only are they easier to clean and maintain, but they also serve as a stunning focal point in the room. If your space allows, a freestanding tub is the ultimate indulgence—perfect for long, relaxing baths and timeless design appeal.
