When it comes to bathroom design, we can certainly see with our own eyes the popular trends of the times. The colors used, the materials, the textures: all are easily identifiable, and can often be dated to a specific time period. Some trends are timeless, and others have long been retired. Functional trends too emerge, and disappear, with advancements in technology frequently driving change. Homeowners demand the latest amenities and fixtures, which offer conveniences and updated features not found in their current bathrooms.
We have identified 5 functional trends in bathroom remodeling currently popular with homeowners:
Tricked Out Showers
Gone are the days of a single shower head spouting out less than sufficient water pressure. Today’s showers are fully loaded. Multiple shower heads, adjustable water pressure systems, steam cabinets with bench seating, chromatherapy, and hydrotherapy are just some of the popular functional trends we are seeing in today’s bathrooms.
High Tech Features
Technology has invaded every area of our lives, our bathrooms included. From touchscreen faucets to interactive bathroom entertainment systems, today’s bathrooms are both innovative and futuristic. Technological advancements have allowed for improvements in both form and function.
Energy Efficiency
Water efficiency is a top priority for many homeowners. New, high efficiency toilets, faucets and showerheads can help reduce water use 20% or more. Bathroom remodeling offers the opportunity to install new water efficient fixtures that can, in essence, pay for the costs of your bathroom remodeling project.
Heated Flooring
Walking onto a cold bathroom floor in the middle of the night is never pleasant, and for this reason, radiant floor heating systems are becoming more and more common. Not only will radiant floor heating keep your feet warm in the middle of the night, it will also help heat the entire bathroom in an energy-efficient manner.
