Ready to transform your bathroom into a personal oasis? Texas homeowners are embracing exciting new trends that combine luxury, functionality, and that distinctive Southern charm. At Burton Residential Services, we've helped countless Montgomery County families create stunning bathrooms. Here are the top trends we're seeing in 2026.
1. Spa-Like Walk-In Showers with Multiple Showerheads
The days of standard single-head showers are behind us. Texas homeowners are upgrading to spacious walk-in showers featuring rain showerheads, body jets, and handheld options. These spa-inspired designs create a daily retreat from the Texas heat.
Popular Features:
- • Frameless glass enclosures for an open feel
- • Built-in bench seating
- • Curbless entry for accessibility
- • Large-format tile (minimal grout lines)
2. Freestanding Soaking Tubs
While some homeowners are removing tubs entirely, others are investing in stunning freestanding tubs as a centerpiece. These sculptural fixtures create a focal point and add undeniable elegance. Our bathroom renovation team has installed everything from modern acrylic designs to classic clawfoot styles.
3. Warm, Natural Materials
Cold, sterile bathrooms are out. Texas homeowners are embracing warm wood tones, natural stone, and earthy textures. This pairs perfectly with other Texas home design elements like faux wood beams and shiplap accents.
Natural Elements
- • Teak wood vanities
- • Natural stone countertops
- • Pebble tile accents
- • Live-edge wood shelving
Color Palettes
- • Warm whites and creams
- • Sage green accents
- • Terracotta and clay tones
- • Matte black hardware
4. Smart Technology Integration
Texas homeowners love technology, and bathrooms are no exception. From heated floors (yes, even in Texas – those tile floors get cold!) to smart mirrors and touchless faucets, technology is making bathrooms more comfortable and efficient.
Electric radiant heating under tile keeps feet comfortable year-round.
LED lighting, defogging, and even built-in displays for news and weather.
Japanese-style bidet seats with heated seats and self-cleaning features.
5. Double Vanities with Ample Storage
Functionality meets style with oversized double vanities. Texas families need storage, and today's vanities deliver with deep drawers, built-in organizers, and plenty of counter space. Floating vanities remain popular for their modern look and easy floor cleaning.
Planning Your Bathroom Renovation
Before starting your bathroom project, there are a few things to consider. Check out our guide on permits required in Montgomery County – many bathroom renovations, especially those involving plumbing or electrical changes, will need proper permits.
The best time to remodel your bathroom is often late fall through early spring when contractor schedules are more flexible. And if you're also considering a kitchen remodel, bundling projects can often save on overall costs.
