Finding peace within the sprawling metropolis of Houston may come as a challenge. In the 2024 Houston Design Poll, a staggering 73% of respondents indicated they want to incorporate nature into their homes to escape the concrete jungle outdoors. For the year 2025, the prediction is that Houston bathrooms will also incorporate earthy hues such as terracotta, sage green, and warm taupe. These colors capture the essence of Southern hospitality and promote wellness in the space.
At Mendiola Remodeling & Construction, we work tirelessly to put the ‘rest’ in ‘restroom’ by applying nature-inspired greens and blues into your new bathroom design. We strive to capture the natural beauty of Houston while incorporating earthy tones like taupe and terracotta to open up the space as well as provide a soothing atmosphere that pampers the bather’s senses. Here are some design tips on how to achieve a peaceful and modern bath with application of earth tones.
Terracotta & Warm Neutrals: The Heart of Southern Charm
Matte Terracotta Tiles and Oak Vanities
An earthy and warm color that is also gaining popularity is terracotta; it was once viewed as more stable due to its subdued characteristics and now serves as an accent to modern design. It is terracotta’s turn to shine in 2025 for Texas styled bathrooms. Tackling functionality, Texas bathrooms strained with humidity require high quality materials. Wholesome terracotta tiles can make a statement in any setting as they are both warm and welcoming, capturing a cozy, calm ambience along with being practical.
Terracotta compliments oak vanities because of how it deepens the charm and warmth of the bathrooom. The natural oak texture richly combines with the earthy warmth of terracotta. This synergy results in rustic yet refined harmony.
A Local Example: Montrose Remodel
We selected ‘Burnt Henna’ from Benjamin Moore for the walls in a recent Montrose remodel, and highlights the “Deep Terracotta” color beautifully. This blended red and orange undertone felt warm, embodying the Southern essence. The warm color also promoted appreciation of art while illustrating cozy vibes in Montrose. This further enhances terracotta’s utility for Houston region.
Sage Green Accents: The Soothe of Relaxation
Sage Green Vanities and Cabinets
Arguably the calmest shade for bathrooms, sage green fosters tranquility and enhances overall wellness. With quiet positivity, Houstonians looking for restful spaces have embraced this soft muted green.
Vanities and cabinets made from wood in sage green offer a soft touch that is FSC certified. This selection is both stylish and responsible. Sage green also works wonderfully in cottages located in places like The Heights. Its earthy charm fits any type of bathroom; whether a dainty powder room, or a spacious en-suite.
Live plants and woven baskets
Woven baskets are beautifully functional while serving as sage green accent storage. Tavolo’s modern ferns, spider plants, and succulent counters add a splash of color to the bathroom. These beauties are also parents best friend, as they purify the air and provide refreshing air.
Use these accessories to promote the biophilic design of your bathroom. The greenery merges with the sage green aesthetic, transforming the space into a calm oasis.
Enduring Nature’s Beauty: Wood and Stone
Teak Shelving with Marble Countertops
Teak shelving and marble countertops are the epitome of beauty and functionality. Teak’s warm, golden tones beautifully integrate terracotta and sage. Marble countertops give an esthetically pleasing regard that is timelessly elegant.
Teak also withstands moisture exceptionally well, making it suitable for bathrooms in areas like Galveston that require hurricane-grade materials. The combination of teak shelving with marble countertops is elegant and ensures the bathroom’s enduring sophistication.
Wrought Iron Lighting Fixtures
Bronze did not go as easily with brown, earth colors in the bathroom which made sure to stand out. Contrasting wrought iron lighting sconces, pendant and chandelier lights offer a more industrial feel while blending with the rest of the earthy nature-inspired design.
Placement of fixtures that span the room provide definition and add elegance to the bathroom instead of sitting too low. Measurements are placed at eye level drawing attention to decorative stone work set deeper into the earth and highlight the natural elements.
