5 Summer Bathroom Trends for New Construction Homes

As summer heats up and home construction becomes busier in the Virginia Beach and broader Hampton Roads area, homeowners are turning to us at K.M. Cash Remodeling for the latest ideas in bathroom design trends. We’ve compiled a list below of five trending bathroom design elements making waves in new construction homes across our community this summer season, so you can decide if you want to incorporate them in your new home’s build.

Emphasizing natural light through large windows or even skylights is once again a major trend. Incorporating expansive windows not only brightens the space but also provides stunning views and a sense of openness. This trend connects the indoors with the outdoors, creating a tranquil and airy bathroom atmosphere.

Minimalism is regaining traction despite a rise in maximalism’s popularity this past year. With clean lines, uncluttered spaces, and a focus on functionality, this design philosophy involves using a neutral color palette, sleek fixtures, and ample storage solutions to keep surfaces clear. The result is a calming, sophisticated bathroom that feels both modern and timeless.

Vanity units are becoming the focal point of bathroom designs. Homeowners are opting for custom- built vanities with unique materials such as reclaimed wood, marble, or concrete. These statement pieces often feature bold hardware and innovative storage solutions, combining style with practicality.

4. Black Accents:

Black accents are making a bold return in bathroom design. From matte black fixtures and faucets to black-framed mirrors and shower enclosures, these elements add a striking contrast to lighter backgrounds. This trend adds a touch of modern elegance and sophistication to any bathroom.

5. Integrated Wet Rooms:

Integrated wet rooms, where the shower area is seamlessly incorporated into the overall bathroom layout, are becoming increasingly popular. These open, barrier-free spaces enhance accessibility and create a sleek, contemporary look. Using consistent flooring and wall materials throughout the wet room enhances the sense of continuity and spaciousness.
