If there’s one thing we know as bathroom remodeling pros here at Custom Bath & Shower, it’s this: bathrooms have officially graduated from being strictly functional spaces to becoming full-blown wellness retreats. And in Bellevue, NE—where practicality meets Midwestern charm—homeowners aren’t just following national trends. They’re putting their own stamp on them.

So what’s trending in 2025? Get ready for five remodeling shifts we’re seeing everywhere—from split-level homes in Fontenelle Hills to new builds in Southroads. Grab your robe and towel (preferably heated)—let’s dive in.

1. Spa Vibes, But Make It Practical

We get it. You want the tranquil spa feel without the snooty spa price tag or weird whale sounds playing in the background. That’s why more Bellevue homeowners are opting for hydrotherapy walk-in spa tubs. Think built-in seating, therapeutic jets, and stress-melting warmth—without leaving your zip code.

Walk-in tubs are no longer just for accessibility—they’re the new luxury. (And yes, the bubbles really do make you feel 10 years younger. Probably.)

2. The Great Tub-to-Shower Migration

Let’s face it: many bathtubs out there are taking up precious square footage while collecting dust—or, let’s be honest, laundry. The modern Bellevue household is swapping the unused tub for sleek, spacious, and safer walk-in showers.

These aren’t your grandma’s showers either. We’re talking low-threshold entries, built-in benches, rain showerheads, and custom wall surrounds. Tub-to-shower conversions are hotter than your water heater on max.

3. Statement Walls: Not Just for Living Rooms Anymore

Tile is having a major moment. And no, we don’t mean those beige squares from 1998. We’re talking bold, textured acrylic wall systems that look like stone, marble, or high-end tile—but clean up faster than you can say “soap scum.”

Bellevue folks love a bathroom with character, and wall systems let you get artsy without the risk of cracked grout or DIY regret.

4. Built for Aging Gracefully (and Stylishly)

Here in Bellevue, we believe in preparing for the future without sacrificing the now. That’s why age-in-place designs are getting a glow-up. Features like grab bars, slip-resistant flooring, wider doorways, and barrier-free showers aren’t just safe—they’re stylish.

Aging never looked so good. (No offense to those squeaky corner tubs of the past.)

5. Smarter Than Ever—Even in the Bathroom

Technology isn’t just for your phone anymore. From motion-sensor lighting to temperature-controlled showers and even waterproof Bluetooth speakers, Bellevue bathrooms are getting smarter in 2025.

And if you’ve never jammed out to classic rock in your walk-in spa tub, are you even living?

Whether you’re chasing relaxation, upgrading for safety, or just finally admitting you hate your tiny tub—we’ve got your back. At Custom Bath & Shower, we specialize in world-class remodeling services that bring comfort, beauty, and a dash of humor into every Bellevue home we serve.
