Smart Toilet Adoption Is Rising Fast Among Australian Homeowners
Campsie, Australia - February 5, 2026 / Austpek Bathrooms /
Smart toilets are rapidly shifting from luxury upgrades to mainstream bathroom essentials, with adoption among Australian homeowners increasing by 58% year-on-year, according to internal customer renovation data from Austpek Bathrooms, a Sydney-based bathroom specialist serving homeowners, builders, and designers across Australia.
The provisional data, based on customer purchase and renovation enquiries between January and December 2025, points to a growing change in how Australians approach bathroom renovations. Hygiene, accessibility, and long-term comfort are increasingly influencing renovation decisions, overtaking purely aesthetic considerations for many households.
Smart Toilets Move Beyond Luxury Status
Once considered a premium indulgence, smart toilets, often referred to as bidet toilets or washlets, are now being specified more frequently in both new builds and bathroom renovations. Austpek Bathrooms reports that smart toilet enquiries now represent a growing share of all toilet-related consultations, reflecting increased awareness and consumer confidence in the category.
“Homeowners are no longer asking whether smart toilets are worth considering,” said CEO of Austpek Bathrooms. “Instead, they’re focused on which smart toilet features best support hygiene, comfort, and long-term usability. That shift in behaviour is driving adoption.”
Hygiene, Accessibility, and Future-Proofing Drive Demand
The rise in smart toilet adoption aligns with broader bathroom renovation trends prioritising wellbeing and future-proof design. Features such as automatic flushing, heated seating, touch-free operation, and self-cleaning bidet technology are increasingly appealing to Australian households seeking higher hygiene standards.
Accessibility considerations are also influencing purchasing decisions. Smart toilets are being specified more often in renovations designed for ageing-in-place, multi-generational households, and accessibility-conscious home designs.
Internal data indicates that homeowners renovating primary bathrooms and ensuites are significantly more likely to consider smart toilets compared to those upgrading secondary or guest bathrooms.
Water Efficiency and Sustainability Influence Buying Decisions
Beyond comfort and hygiene, water efficiency remains an important factor. Modern smart toilets are engineered to optimise water usage while maintaining strong, consistent flushing performance, supporting sustainability goals without compromising functionality.
As awareness of water efficiency standards continues to grow across Australia, smart toilets are increasingly viewed as both a lifestyle upgrade and a practical long-term investment.
“Smart toilets sit at the intersection of technology, sustainability, and everyday comfort,” CEO of Austpek Bathrooms added. “For many homeowners, they are becoming a logical inclusion in modern bathroom renovations rather than an optional upgrade.”
Outlook for 2026 Bathroom Renovations
Looking ahead to 2026, Austpek Bathrooms expects smart toilet adoption to continue rising as homeowners place greater emphasis on hygiene, accessibility, and long-term value. Increased visibility through showrooms, digital research, and professional recommendations from builders and designers is expected to further accelerate adoption.
