Upscale Bathroom Renovation Ideas

Homeowners are demanding much more comfort and luxury of their bathrooms, and designers respond to the call. So, it comes as no surprise that bathroom renovation is so popular. For the average homeowner, this means more relaxation, comfort, and convenience in the way their plumbing delivers.

Deep tubs win the day.

Since even a small bathroom can significantly benefit from an upgrade, is it any wonder that bathroom renovations comprise almost 80% of all remodeling projects?

Upscale renovations don't necessarily need a wrecking ball to create a luxurious bathroom. With the right plumber, even a few simple upgrades can transform a bathroom. Homeowners are embracing the new plumbing technology available, as well as luxury and style. Here are some suggestions for a more trendy, upscale bathroom renovation:

The tub

Think of the comfort of a living room in your bathroom. Baths are now often freestanding or have a stone surround. For the individual who enjoys comfort, a deep soaker tub with a fireplace or flat-screen TV are viable options. Black tubs are also trendy. 

The shower

 The newest trend in showers these days is glass enclosures: the glass opens up the room to make any bathroom seem larger. Niche shelving in the shower creates judicious storage space. Walk-in showers cater to an aging population. Steam showers, a luxury once confined to the spa, can now be had in the comfort of one's bathroom.  Smart showerheads offer the ultimate in control and will notify you when your shower is the right temperature.

Clear showers create a feeling of space.

Walls and floors

Tile for the walls and floor can be anything from glass mosaic to oversized marble squares, which are honed to prevent slipping if they're on the floor. Tile often covers half a wall, rather than reaching to the ceiling. Tiles in unusual shapes hold massive appeal. Radiant heat floors can keep the whole room warm for added comfort. 

Lighting

Task lighting and layered lighting make a dramatic difference in the ambiance of the bathroom, while also providing illumination. LED strip lighting, chandeliers, recessed lights, sconces, and drop lighting are all making an appearance in the bathroom, depending on the needs of the room and whims of the homeowner.

Windows are bigger than ever, and for the bathroom, which doesn't have an outside wall, skylights can be added to bring in the natural light.

Vanities

Vanities are no longer pressboard entities of a foregone age. Instead, the savvy homeowner who wants a unique vanity has turned to repurposed antique dressers and tables. Even butcher block can make an appearance as a vanity top. Smart faucets have sensors that turn the water on when you need it and off when you don't.

Brass and brushed brass are in full display.

Fixtures

Dramatic fixtures and hardware round out the luxury bathroom. Specialty knobs and hardware which has never seen the inside of a big box store, create a one-of-a-kind bathroom that caters to the needs and whims of a homeowner with distinctive tastes. Brass and brushed brass is a frequent sight in high-end remodels.

A tankless water heater can offer an abundance of hot water, but it's most practical if you have natural gas.
