We think there are only two things in life you’re guaranteed to never regret: living in the beautiful Southern California and adding a bathroom room addition to your home. In 2026, there’s predicted to be a renewed focus on bathrooms, with homeowners seeking to make them relaxing retreats where they enjoy spending time. Here’s a roundup of the trends you might want to think about incorporating if you’re adding a bathroom to your Los Angeles home.
Luxury Flooring
Nothing warms you after a shower like heated floors. And the best part, you don’t have to compromise on your new bathroom’s layout and design. There are lots of options for heating floors, depending on the size and material you are looking for. Prioritize energy efficient options so you can warm up without seeing an increase in your electric or heating bill.
In terms of style and design, black and white checkered floors are falling out of favor. This holds true for high-gloss floors as well, which tend to show wet spots. Textured floors with bold colors are becoming much more popular thanks to their function, feel, and look.
Unique Hardware
Fixtures and features that look like they came straight off the shelf for a home improvement store are out in 2026. What’s replacing them are handmade, unique pieces of hardware like knobs and faucets that give your bathroom addition its own character and charm. Carved and irregular shapes can give your bathroom a more natural, organic feel. While textured surfaces make for an experience you and any guests will appreciate every time.
Upgraded Showers and Tubs
Showers and tubs are ready for their big moment in 2026. For showers, expect to see full-depth shower benches, not just tiny perches. These built-in fixtures are great when you need to take a seat while you’re in the process of cleaning up. You can make them look even better by matching them to the rest of the shower’s material for a seamless aesthetic.
With tubs, it’s no longer just about the tub, it’s about the surroundings, too. Tub decks were typically an afterthought, serving simply as a box to hold the tub. But now, people are starting to become more intentional about these platforms. Now, tub decks are wrapped in high-end materials such as stone, and you can add built-in shelving and drawers for more space in your bathroom room addition.
2026 Is For The Bathrooms
Whether you need it for guests, or you could just use the space yourself to spread out, a bathroom addition is the way to go. Plus, it’s the perfect opportunity to get creative and craft a space that’s just right for you. If you’re thinking about a bathroom addition in 2026, contact Creative Innovation Developers today.
