Modern bathroom design is all about the contemporary, functional and effortlessly stylish details. After the walls go up and the layout is finished, it’s time to focus on creating little magic moments – from the hardware to the fixtures and everything in between. Consider floating vanities and sleek faucets; these elements combine practicality with personality, helping a bathroom truly stand out.
1. Floating Vanities and Smooth-Functioning Storage
Floating vanities are still a popular choice for bathroom design in 2026. Homeowners love them for their clean and airy feel, as well as the customization options available for drawers and cabinets alike. For a truly modern and frustration-free space, homeowners are opting for organized storage, soft-closing drawers, and reliable hinges in their vanities.

Creating a minimalistic bathroom isn’t always easy. Every-day products, toiletries and on-hand items need to be in reach yet out of sight. To get the best of both worlds, focus on storage and organization. For this, we recommend Richelieu’s Storage Accessories. Specifically designed for cabinets and vanities, with durability to last daily use, you’ll be sure to love your space.
2. The Finishes Dominating Bathroom Design In 2026
Clean and contemporary are back “en vogue” for 2026 bathroom design. A sleek matte black continues to dominate for its bold, modern look, while mixed-metal combinations can help add dimension and personality to spaces.
One surefire way to mix finishes thoughtfully, that will always look timeless, is with a black faucet and brushed brass shower hardware.

When mixing metals, stick to one dominant finish and introduce a secondary tone for contrast. This maintains an intentional and cohesive look while allowing your fixtures to shine.
3. Contemporary Faucets, Tub Spouts And Showers
Homeowners are actively combining style with performance in 2026. Sleek faucets, tub showers and showerheads are increasingly becoming key design statements. Expect to see clean lines, geometric shapes and innovative features that make daily routines easy, efficient and effortless.
