Well-designed bathrooms are having a real moment right now—and color is a big reason why. The shades people are choosing this year tap into a craving for personal style, a little more calm, and a stronger connection to nature.
According to Kendra Sinclair, design trends expert at Thumbtack, the paint colors we’re seeing are influenced by bigger shifts in tile and materials. “Bathroom paint color trends are going hand-in-hand with some of the tile trends we’re seeing—organic shapes, vintage references , and earthy tones,” she says. Instead of defaulting to bright white, more people are leaning into natural, soothing palettes that make their bathrooms feel modern, cozy, and uniquely theirs.
