Infinity Drain®, the manufacturer at the forefront of architectural and decorative drains, identifies emerging bathroom trends of 2025. With interior design continually modernizing, homeowners and architects will lean into trending concepts from statement fixtures and open-air showers to nature-inspired products and sustainability efforts.
Dark Fixtures and Finishes
Dark fixtures in the home are gaining significant attention, particularly in the bathroom as designers look to highlight striking contrast and modern aesthetic. Darker-toned faucets, shower heads, drains and more pair beautifully with a lighter palette on the walls and floors. They can also work in a monochromatic setting and add a touch of elegance to the room while pulling the eye to stunning yet functional features. Infinity Drain’s Gunmetal specialty finish is a bold choice for those looking to achieve such a look in their bathroom. Its matte, charcoal-like appearance adds depth to any shower or wet room.
Open-Concept Showers
The design trend of open concept extends far beyond the kitchen and living areas. Open-concept showers will continue to increase in popularity as designers are tasked with laying out modern, spa-like bathrooms. Eliminating a shower door creates an open-air feel, and natural light floods in easily. A curbless design also improves the accessibility of a shower and ensures it will serve its purpose in one’s home for years to come. Open-concept showers provide flexibility in design and are best showcased when accented by custom fixtures. Infinity Drain offers a variety of customization options, including length, shape, grate style and finish. The Next Day Custom program even boasts linear drain wall-to-wall installation without the wait.
Design that Mimics Nature
Over the past few years, there has been a shift in interior design choices from high-tech maximalism to nature-inspired minimalism. Homeowners increasingly crave tranquility in their spaces, and designers have responded with organic materials, neutral tones and textiles that mimic natural elements. Infinity Drain’s Adhesion Linear Drain was inspired by the science of adhesion, where water droplets stick to a variety of surfaces to form unique patterns. This product is a collaboration with Gensler, the global architecture, design and planning firm, which served as product design consultant. The Gensler design team started by pouring water on a selection of luxurious surfaces to observe how the droplets moved and gathered. The modern pattern that evolved from this exploration has an even distribution of irregularity to create a look that is at once random and precise.
Saunas and Cold Plunges
The rising popularity of contrast therapy reflects a growing emphasis on wellness and self-care practices. As people seek ways to unwind and rejuvenate, many have turned to indoor saunas and cold plunge units in their bathrooms or wellness spaces. While these products offer a holistic approach to health, they are also accompanied by unique concerns. Homeowners will want to keep the floor dry and area safe for their families to enjoy these amenities. A linear drain installed alongside a cold plunge unit or outside a sauna cabin is an effective way to divert any spilled water out of the area, ensuring minimal risk of slips and falls.
Sustainable Materials
In the age of heightened environmental concerns, many homeowners seek eco-friendly options when designing their dream house. From organic building supplies to energy-efficient products, the popularity of sustainable materials points to a larger commitment to healthy living and conservational responsibility. Infinity Drain is proud to offer locally sourced products manufactured from stainless steel with 91.2 percent recycled content. Their innovative drainage solutions are produced exclusively in the U.S., reducing shipping costs and environmental concerns. The New York factory has also undergone improvements including installing LED lighting and a new PVC roof to save energy.
