With today’s economic constraints, homeowners are finding it more difficult to sell and looking towards investing in the home instead. Relatively minor changes such as remodeling a bathroom or kitchen or adding on a room can significantly increase your property value. And if you’re feeling stuck in your present living situation, perhaps a bathroom face lift is exactly what you need to make your home feel new again.
Bathrooms are becoming ever more luxurious, with the latest trends aimed at creating a more spa-like environment in the bathroom. With the stress of today’s economy, it makes perfect sense to turn your bathroom into a relaxing oasis from the pressures of everyday life. From heated floor tiles and warming drawers to steam showers, separate toilets, and LED lighting, today’s bathroom is all about comfort.
Warming floor tiles are a popular trend in bathrooms today. For most of us, the bathroom features prominently in our morning routine, but the shock of a cold tile or stone floor in the morning isn’t something most of us relish. With heated floors, your bathroom becomes the welcoming oasis it should be. Then imagine stepping out of the shower and having a heated towel waiting for you. With warming drawers, your towels will always have that fresh from the dryer feel.
Showers and bathtubs are becoming more luxurious as well, with popular trends like steam showers and multiple showerheads. Steam helps soothe and relax tense muscles, which makes steam showers ideal for people with arthritis or muscle and joint pain. Steam also opens your pores, releasing toxins from your body. With multiple shower heads, you can create a customized bath experience perfectly tailored to you.
Separating the toilet from the rest of the bathroom is another popular trend. A separate toilet area allows for more privacy in a space that is often shared among family members. It makes the bathroom more usable, particularly in those hectic early morning hours when everyone needs to get their day started at once, and all of them need the bathroom.
LED lighting is becoming more popular in the bathroom as well, as a great way to create luxurious, mellow ambiance. Single LED lights can be embedded into tiles on the floor to illuminate your path to the bathroom in the middle of the night, without disturbing your partner. LED tiles can add the perfect amount of indirect light, and can be interspersed with your existing tiles or make into a back splash.
