Bathroom trends come and go, but the desire to turn these spaces into true oases is timeless.
As highlighted by Homes & Gardens, the ideal bathroom should be a sanctuary for relaxation and disconnection, with simple yet inviting furniture and accessories that create a complete sensory experience.
We’ve been admiring Jennifer Garner’s bathroom, recently shown on her Instagram page. There’s much to love: the elegant freestanding gray bathtub contrasts beautifully with the green of a lush plant, while charming café-style curtains add texture and softness to the bright windows.
According to experts interviewed by Homes & Gardens, the idea of transforming the bathroom into a space of well-being — a “private spa” — will be one of the major design trends for 2026. This dreamy aesthetic, which emphasizes serenity and self-care, is becoming increasingly present in contemporary interior choices.
“2025 was another year when wellness exploded, and I expect the self-care trend to grow even more next year,” explains Rikki Fothergill, bathroom style expert at Big Bathroom Shop, in an interview with Homes & Gardens.
With the growing interest in calm, healthy routines, many people are trading late nights for early morning Pilates sessions, and the bathroom has become the perfect setting for this new lifestyle philosophy. Natural elements, such as aromatic plants (gardenia is one of the favorites, according to experts), help create a relaxing and sophisticated atmosphere.
Rikki adds that functional, spa-inspired features like underfloor heating and ambient lighting are essential for this concept. “The shower won’t just be a shower,” she explains. “We’ll see more steam systems, mood lighting, and technologies that turn bathing into a true wellness experience.”
