Bathroom remodels are on the rise, according to the 2022 U.S. Houzz Bathroom Trends Study. The national median spend for primary bathroom projects increased nearly 13 percent to $9,000, while higher budget projects (with the top 10 percent of project spend) saw a 17 percent jump to $35,000 or more among homeowners.
Those doing “major” bathroom renovations, which include shower upgrades, spent three times more on their renovations than those undergoing minor renovations ($15,000 versus $5,000, respectively). Major remodels to bathrooms of 100 square feet or more cost double that of smaller bathrooms measuring less than 100 square feet ($20,000 and $10,000, respectively). More than one in five homeowners increase the size of their bathroom during renovations (21 percent) and three in five bathrooms are 100 square feet or more following renovations (60 percent).
