2023 will bring a major chance of showers—in your main bathroom, that is.
It appears that homeowners are now seeing showers as a place to indulge their self-care ritual as opposed to a space for a brisk, task-focused scrub-down.
Recently, Pinterest (aka the internet’s favorite virtual bulletin board) named an “elevated shower routine” as one of the top trends for the coming year. It comes as part of its Pinterest Predicts report—a roundup of emerging trends based on searches on the social media platform.
Over the past two years, users upped their searches for things like “amazing showers walk in,” “doorless shower ideas,” and “home spa bathroom,” signaling that showers are on the verge of overtaking soaking tubs as the most luxurious bathroom amenity.
“Research shows that people are looking for their bathroom space to feel like a spa-style destination, even more so after the last couple of years,” says Stephanie Krickeberg, associate marketing director for Sprig by Kohler.
So whether you’re intent on remodeling your bathroom this year or are stuck with a shower-tub combo that feels less than luxurious, read on for the best ways to elevate your own shower routine and achieve spa vibes in your bathroom at home.
