Create A Bathroom Sanctuary
Bathrooms reign supreme, overtaking kitchens as the most popular remodeling project, according to a survey by the National Association of Home Builders. Remodelers reported on their most common projects, and 81 percent performed bathroom remodeling.
Where to begin
More than a room — a retreat
Whether you’re hiring the project out or taking the DIY route, fashioning the bathroom of your dreams can enhance your home’s value and add enjoyment to your daily routine.
A leading trend in bathroom design is to create a space that is not only functional but is a true sanctuary. To craft a spa-like bath setting you’ll love for years to come, start with these three elements.
Element one
Sinks & vanities
Start with organization
Clutter causes chaos that can add to daily stress. To establish a peaceful retreat without the disorder that commonly overtakes bathrooms, keep organization in mind when selecting a sink and vanity combination.
The key is to find a balance between style and functionality — storage that hides the everyday, surfaces that stay clear.
Modular thinking
Collections built on a modular concept — minimalist sinks paired with coordinating vanities — allow for maximum flexibility in installation and organization.
That flexibility brings high design to any project, including master bathrooms and powder rooms where space is at a premium.
Element two
Freestanding tubs
When you select the right tub for your new bathroom, you’re giving yourself a way to unwind every day, as well as a stunning focal point to anchor the space.
Deep-soak freestanding tubs are a top trend for the ultimate in bathing relaxation. Immersing yourself in the warm water of a soaking tub can help ease muscle tension, making you feel like you’re at the spa while bathing in the comfort of your own home.
Soothing, romantic and indulgent, a soaking tub creates the perfect personal sanctuary — a showstopper that adds style, repose and a touch of luxury to any bathroom setting.
Element three
Shower systems
Beyond the single showerhead
Today’s complete shower systems go beyond a basic clean to provide a full bathing experience. Design the space to fit your preferences with different sprays and various angles for massage, invigoration or total relaxation.
Flow and temperature adjust to your liking — customization on demand.
Spa-like extras
To further enhance the shower, add adjustable lighting and music to match your mood. Close your eyes, feel the water, and escape while getting lost in your favorite tunes.
Pulling it together
Your own personal oasis
With the right elements and a well-thought-out design, you can craft your own personal oasis — adding to your home’s value while relishing in its pleasure. Now that’s a dream come true.
