(BPT) – Homeowners seeking transformative bathroom renovations may be surprised to learn just how accessible it is to realize their vision. Current trends topping the list in bathroom design this year include greater design personalization, handcrafted home materials and a more cohesive overall design. All of these are possible to achieve with the help of Kohler® bathroom solutions.
Explore these options to help you shape a vision for a bathroom that feels as elevated as it is functional, creating a look and ambience that expresses your sense of style.
Personalization through design
One huge trend shift in 2026 bathroom design is away from a minimalist approach and toward a more personalized aesthetic. Consider this space as an opportunity to explore a look uniquely your own, instead of making your bathroom look just like everyone else’s.
To help you create the look you want, Kohler® makes customization easy by offering Mix & Match faucets. You can select your own combination of spout, handle and finish from these three distinct collections with different style expressions — traditional, transitional and modern — for over 50 possible combinations:
- Components® lets you elevate your bathroom space with bold sophistication, where strong lines meet smooth forms to create faucets with a distinctly modern aesthetic. New York-based designer Cara Woodhouse selected Components® faucets as a feature in a recent home renovation.
- Occasion® is a sculptural collection where pentagonal accents and mod shapes come together to create faucets fashioned to be the center of attention.
- Artifacts® captures the charm of turn-of-the-century homes, using vintage silhouettes and elegant details for a look that never goes out of style.
To create your unique look, simply:
1. Choose your spout: Select from a variety of shapes and sizes, as well as deck- or wall-mount options for a design to anchor your space.
2. Choose your handles: Pair your faucet with a range of handle options including lever, cross and industrial styles.
3. Choose your finish: Select your desired tone (polished, brushed or matte), that you can elegantly coordinate or unapologetically contrast with accessories, lighting and showering components.
Sustainability and craftsmanship
Another trend that’s continuing to gather steam is prioritizing sustainable materials and methods. Combined with concern for the environment, this trend also favors design elements that are well-crafted rather than cookie-cutter or seemingly mass produced.
If this trend speaks to you, consider a WasteLAB® DemiLav® rectangular vessel sink when you’re planning your next bathroom upgrade. Each sink is made with at least 70% recycled materials sourced from manufacturing waste streams. Handcrafted by artisans and American made, these sinks are made in small batches, creating natural variation and individuality.
WasteLAB® DemiLav® sinks are designed to balance sustainability with high design, offering a unique, expressive focal point. Each sink brings craftsmanship to your bathroom, with a refined, elegant design featuring a deep, symmetrical basin with rounded edges. These sinks meticulously transform repurposed industrial materials into sophisticated and luxurious centerpieces, without compromising sustainability.
Cohesive bathroom design
Another way to elevate your bathroom’s look is by creating an overall cohesive design, a trend that can be achieved using repeated colors through color drenching — even using the same color for walls, trim and ceiling — to unify the look of any space.
For a truly cohesive bathroom design, the Kohler x Studio McGee Claude collection offers an authentically timeless full-suite collection including toilets, sinks, vanities, mirrors and baths that are all designed in a modern classic style, though inspired by historic details. Designed to create a coordinated aesthetic across the entire space, this collection blends timeless design elements with modern performance. The Kohler x Studio McGee Claude collection uses architectural detailing and classic forms for a modern yet enduring look.
Within this collection, you can choose from three different bathroom sink options (console, pedestal and undermount) to tie powder rooms, guest bathrooms and primary bathrooms together in a home without over-repeating.
Customizing your home so it’s uniquely your own, with sustainable options and cohesive spaces, is a goal you can make happen, with the right approach and products meant to inspire.
