Home renovation contractors of Washington share insights on bathroom and shower space trends.
Why removing a tub and creating the day spa shower space is trending
When was the last time you used your tub? There is a longstanding myth that a homeowner should never remove a tub due to a possible decrease in home values. The truth is that if at least one tub is left in the home, other bathroom spaces can be adapted to the individual homeowner’s needs. This frees up homeowners and their remodeling contractors to create a personalized space for the lifestyle of the individuals in the home.
Showers are Used More Frequently and are More Accessible
One practical reason the luxury, oversized shower is trending is the ease of use. Showers are faster and are used daily while tubs may sit without occupants for a month or more. Another aspect to consider is the ease of access. It is much easier for young children and elderly adults to step into and out of a shower than a tub.
Shower chairs and benches can be more easily placed in a larger area, creating a safe bathing space for all members of the family. Multiple showerheads create convenience and luxury all at once.
The Couple’s Retreat
Expanding the shower in the primary bathroom can create a space of reconnection and rejuvenation for a couple harried by everyday life. Massaging showerheads and steam shower attachments are just a few of the home remodel ideas that a general contractor can execute. Here are just a few ideas for creating a lovely private hideaway:
- Large mirror: Make it easy for both people to use the mirror at the same time.
- Double Sink: Having two sinks provides a sense of boundaries and gives each person their own space when they want it.
- Walk-in Shower: A modern tiled room with multiple showerheads can be a dream come true for self-care or for together time.
- Multiple Showerheads: There are so many choices for showerheads, so why not choose more than one? Provide yourself with a combination of choices for a truly personalized experience.
- Smart Devices: Even the bathroom can now have voice-activated speakers and mood-setting LED lights. Integrating technology with the shower remodel can add to the spa-like experience.
- Color: Don’t neglect the idea of choosing relaxing color schemes for the bathroom.
- Sensual Scents: Don’t forget the candles or favorite air freshening or aromatherapy devices.
Finding a Contractor
In any home improvement project, a residential contractor is the homeowner’s partner and advisor. Finding one who will advise you on the process of remodeling, give an honest breakdown of home remodeling costs, and does the job without shortcuts is of vital importance.
