Spa-level luxury bathrooms remain a key trend, with searches on Houzz for luxe materials like “onyx tile”, up a staggering 1,069%  times and “marble bathroom” up 51%.

Interest in practical-luxury features is also growing, with searches rising significantly for “double vanity” up 746% and “double shower” up 172%.

According to the 2024 Bathroom Trends report, more than a third of homeowners opted for a freestanding bath, so it’s perhaps unsurprising that searches for “freestanding bath” are up 53%.

Wood-drenched interiors–where natural wood is used on several surfaces in a room–is also having a moment, reports Houzz.

Searches “oak kitchen” are up 214% and “wood kitchen” are up 116%, with wall treatments like “wooden slat walls” and “wood panels” also trending.

It could be because consumers are actually seeking “acoustic panels”, which are also up a whopping 625% .

And bringing nature indoors, natural light remains a priority with searches for “skylight” up 115% and “orangery” up 94%, “glass wall partition” up 202%, “internal glass door” up 91% and “oriel window” up 89%.

This functionality in design is reflected by searches for inspiration on how to combine rooms for a more efficient use of space, with searches for “bathroom with laundry space” up 190%.

Practicality is also reflected in how homeowners are designing their home to improve hosting, with searches climbing for “drinks cabinet” up 56%, “home bar” up 48%, “wine cellar” up 43% and “coffee station” increasing by 77%.

While for interior aesthetics, maximalism continues its popularity, with homeowners embracing bold colour and pattern in their homes.

“Colour drench”-where a single colour, or a closely related set of colours, is applied to all surfaces in a room, including walls, ceilings and woodwork is up 142%,

And pink back in a big way. Searches for “pink” rose 186% with big gains across “pink bathroom” up 114%, “pink kitchen” up 112%, and “pink bedroom” up 59%.

According to Houz, a soft, plaster-pink shade is being seen increasingly within the most popular photos pairing with wood, green tones, or bold pops of orange and red.
