If you ‘ve been having a tough time getting your teenage daughters out of the bathroom, the new design trends for 2016 might just make that job a little more difficult.
Bathrooms have long been a relaxing retreat to steal some time away for yourself. Luxurious wellness options that were once only available to us in premier spas and hotels are now making their way into customized home bathroom design.
Walk-In- Showers
Walk-In- Showers continue to steal the spotlight and are equipped with many of the spa-like hydrotherapy technology you may have only experienced during your favorite getaway retreat.
Rain Shower heads are being installed in more and more bathrooms because of the sensation of being immersed in soothing rain. The shower heads can be adjusted for an invigorating rain-like spray.
Free Standing Tubs
Free standing tubs are not only luxurious and artful in design but on a practical level, you can even find ones big enough for two!
If you have the space, a sculptural tub doubles as a beautiful objet d’art when not in use and adds creativity and flair to your bathroom. With so many shapes and styles, you’ll have difficulty choosing just one!
Heated Floors and more….
As Canadians, we know what it’s like to wake up on a cold fall/winter morning and delay that uncomfortable walk to the bathroom until we’ve built up the mental fortitude to let go of our warm, cozy blanket.
Having a heated floor installed in your bathroom gives you the luxury of setting a timer so that your floor is warm between 6:00am and 8:00am as an example. Heated towel warmers are now available for residential bathrooms offering you the pampered option of wrapping yourself up in a warm, comforting towel when you get out of the shower.
Custom Vanities
Provided you have the space, having an larger custom vanity installed in your bathroom makes storage an absolute dream. More drawers? Yes Please! A longer vanity also gives you the option of installing two sinks in one bathroom which is a blessing for most couples and even siblings!
Motion Sensors
Under Counter motion sensor lighting is now available for bathrooms. Making middle-of- the-night walks to the bathroom a whole lot safer.Hands-free faucets are listed as one of the top technologies for bathrooms and kitchens.
Waking up and winding down is becoming more and more irresistible.
