Justin and Hailey Bieber's Chrome Bathtub is a Preview of 2027's Chicest Bathroom Trend
The bathtub is the 'crown jewel' of the bathroom, and a silver statement looks ultra-cool in the couple's home, setting the tone for next year
Chrome hardware has gained popularity for lighting and kitchens over the past few years, and now, it's landing in the bathroom. The shiny, modern look is eye-catching and bold, perfect for the homeowner who wants to make a statement.
Justin and Hailey Bieber are just this kind of homeowner, having tapped into the chrome look long before it became a trend with their silver bathtub (similar to the Dorset soaking tub from Wayfair). Shared to Justin's Instagram, the chrome piece looks stunningly contemporary next to their large windows, and then is grounded by white walls. Its so elevated and unique.
Though not everyone will go so bold with their chrome decor, Justin and Hailey Bieber's bathroom idea offers insight into the future, where silver decor will be absolutely everywhere.
Bathroom trend reports for 2027 show chrome decor coming in as a top look. For instance, luxury vintage and antiques retailer 1stDibs reports that search interest in chrome furniture has more than doubled this year.
Mike Manders, Design Expert and CEO at Haddon explains: 'Chrome is experiencing a notable resurgence in bathroom design. This material is appreciated for its timeless, clean, and polished finish. After several years where warmer metals like brass and bronze dominated bathrooms, chrome is making a strong comeback thanks to its versatility and ability to complement a wide range of styles.'
As Justin and Hailey's bathroom shows, the material is also more versatile than one might assume, fitting in well with a range of styles.
'It offers a crisp contrast against natural materials such as stone and wood, enhancing both classic and contemporary interiors,' continues Mike. 'Its reflective quality also helps to brighten spaces, making bathrooms feel fresh. For those seeking a finish that combines elegance with practicality, chrome remains a consistently reliable choice.'

Recreate Justin and Hailey's Look at Home
Whether you opt for full on chrome interiors or just a few accents, Homes & Gardens has you covered. These are our editors' picks for adding the trend to your bathroom this season.
If you are hoping to make a true statement, following Justin and Hailey Bieber's bathtub idea might be your best bet. A chrome bathtub may be expensive, but it will make the ultimate bold declaration of style.
Mike states: 'The bathtub is the crown jewel of the bathroom and probably the biggest investment when renovating this space, so this purchase should be very carefully considered.'
He advises: 'A freestanding bath is the ultimate statement of luxurious design and relaxation, creating a tranquil focal point that invites quiet indulgence. If space allows, there is no better way to instantly elevate the entire room.'
In addition to the finish, it's important to consider the shape of your bathtub. As Justin and Hailey's freestanding design demonstrates, a curved, freestanding design is utterly gorgeous. Mike states: 'The style of the bathtub should set the tone for the overall design of your bathroom and will ultimately depend on your personal taste. You may prefer a timeless, heritage-inspired design for classic charm or choose a sleek, curved and symmetrical form for contemporary sophistication. Either way, the bathtub will set the tone for the rest of the space and should feel in keeping with the style of the basins, fixtures and fittings within the space.'
Integrating chrome, whether it's through your bathtub or just a small tray is the surest way to add chicness to your home in 2027.
