If you're considering a bathroom remodel in Olympia, you’ll want a design that balances current trends with local character. We work closely with homeowners to create bathrooms that are both stylish and suited to our Pacific Northwest climate. Here are the top bathroom styles we’re seeing in the Olympia area this year:

1. Modern Organic

Natural materials and minimalist design define the Modern Organic style. In Olympia, this trend combines clean lines with textured elements like reclaimed wood countertops, stone tile, and neutral palettes—perfect for creating a spa-like retreat. Matte black or brushed brass fixtures coordinate beautifully with these elements.

2. Spa-Style Retreat

Many Olympia homeowners are opting for a spa-style bathroom. Think oversized freestanding tubs, rainfall showerheads, large-format calming tiles, glass shower partitions, and even steam options. This trend emphasizes wellness and relaxation—a luxurious, functional upgrade in any home.

3. Vintage Meets Modern

For older homes around Capitol Hill or the Westside, blending vintage charm with modern conveniences is very popular. Features like shaker-style cabinetry, hexagon floor tile, and classic brass fixtures paired with updated vanities and frameless glass showers strike the perfect balance.

4. Bold & Mood-Driven Color

Homeowners in Olympia are embracing darker, moodier bathrooms—think charcoal walls, deep green subway tile, and black-veined marble. Paired with brass or matte black hardware, these dramatic palettes add personality and sophistication. This trend works well on accent walls, vanity areas, or niche tiles.

5. Minimalist Floating Vanities

Floating vanities with vessel sinks create a clean, modern aesthetic ideal for smaller or contemporary baths. By freeing up floor space, they make rooms feel larger—particularly useful in homes near downtown Olympia where bathroom footprints are often compact.

How to Bring These Trends into Your Olympia Home

  • Consider moisture-resistant materials: Porcelain tile, sealed natural stone, and quality cabinetry finishes handle Olympic Peninsula humidity well.

  • Enhance lighting: Layer overhead, task, and ambient lighting with LED dimmer switches for flexible, stylish lighting at any time of day.

  • Add natural elements: Indoor plants and wood accents add texture and warmth, hinting at Olympia’s natural surroundings like the nearby Sound and evergreen forests.

Inspiration & Examples from Local Projects

We’ve completed multiple projects featuring these trending styles:

  • A Capitol Hill bathroom was transformed with charcoal wall tile, a floating vanity, and geometric floor tile.

  • An east-side home received a spa-like upgrade—walk-in steam shower, ambient lighting, and earthy natural stone.

  • A mid-century cottage got a blend of farmhouse cabinetry, brass fixtures, and hex tile flooring.

Planning Your Trendy Olympia Bathroom Remodel

  • Phase the project: Start with tile and fixture choices before committing to cabinetry or lighting designs.
