Revive Design and Renovation Featured in USA TODAY for 2026 Bathroom Design Trends

Justin Caballero, President of Revive Design and Renovation, was featured throughout a new USA TODAY article sharing expert insight on the bathroom remodeling trends shaping 2026.

Bathroom remodels are becoming less about quick updates and more about creating spaces that feel personal, functional, and restorative. Today’s homeowners are thinking beyond tile and fixtures. They want bathrooms that support daily routines, add long-term value, and feel like a natural extension of the way they live.

That shift was recently explored in a USA TODAY feature, Remodel your bathroom with these 2026 design trends, where Justin was quoted throughout the article as an expert voice on what homeowners are asking for in 2026.

Bathroom Remodel Trends Highlighted in the Article

In the article, Justin shared insight on several major bathroom design trends, including curated fixture finishes, wellness-focused upgrades, large-format porcelain slabs, layered lighting, wet rooms, and realistic remodeling timelines.

The era of one finish on every fixture is over.

One of the biggest changes is the move away from perfectly matched finishes. Instead of using one metal throughout the entire bathroom, homeowners are choosing combinations that feel more layered, intentional, and custom to the home.

Bathroom remodels are increasingly being designed around wellness, not just appearance. In luxury renovations, features like steam showers, cold plunges, infrared saunas, and spa-inspired layouts are becoming part of the everyday home experience. These spaces are meant to help homeowners slow down, reset, and recover without leaving home.

Luxury Bathroom Design Is Becoming More Personal

Justin also spoke to the popularity of full porcelain slabs, especially in showers and wet areas. With fewer grout lines and a more seamless appearance, these materials can create a cleaner, more dramatic, and elevated finish.

Beyond the design trends themselves, Justin offered a practical perspective on what homeowners should expect during a remodel. For larger projects with layout changes, custom elements, or features like a steam shower, he noted that construction can realistically take six to ten weeks, sometimes longer.

Whether it is a full bathroom renovation, a spa-inspired primary suite, or a more intentional material refresh, the goal is not just to follow trends. It is to create a space that works beautifully, feels personal, and supports everyday life.
