If you’re like most people, you probably spend a few hours a week in your bathroom. From showering, to getting ready for the day, to relaxing in the tub on the weekends, most homeowners want a bathroom they love to spend time in. If your space needs some updating, or you’re building a new home, consider including one or more of these top bathroom design trends.

Large Showers With Multiple Shower Heads

Forget about those tiny fiberglass shower stalls! Today’s popular showers are large spaces with multiple shower heads and even a bench. Multiple shower heads mean that there’s no more constantly adjusting the shower head if you have two people who use the shower on a consistent basis. Spouses of different heights will be able to have their ideal shower height, plus they won’t need to worry about fiddling with the water pressure or shower settings each and every time they shower.

Frameless Shower Enclosures

Another popular trend is the frameless shower enclosure. These are large walk-in showers with a wall of tile surrounding the shower. Because these showers are so large, homeowners don’t need to worry about water escaping out of the enclosure and settling on the bathroom floor.

Glass Tiles Instead Of Ceramic

For years, ceramic tiles were the standard in bathroom remodels. However, the newest trend is to use glass tiles. These glass tiles provide a glossy, sparkling look that can make bathrooms appear larger, which is something nearly every homeowner can appreciate. Additionally, they’ve gained a lot of attention because they are more resistant to mold and mildew than ceramic tiles. Glass is completely impervious to water absorption, while ceramic tiles can absorb up to 3% of the water that hits it.

Smart Storage Solutions

Storage in general is important to homeowners, but it’s especially important in a bathroom. Smart storage solutions can give your bathroom an uncluttered, spa-like appearance. You’ll want to have a space to store towels and other linens, and the ladies appreciate generous storage options for makeup, hair care products and styling tools, and countless other toiletries. To keep your bathroom from looking cluttered and overrun with products, have smart storage solutions installed in your bathrooms. Today’s professional bathroom remodelers can help you create custom storage solutions designed to take advantage of your unique space.

Heated Floors And Towel Racks For Cool Mornings

While South Florida doesn’t have the same cold weather as areas further north, a slight chill in the air isn’t uncommon in the winter months (and it can seem downright frigid to Florida natives!) To make your mornings a little more bearable, consider installing a heated floor or maybe just a heated towel rack.
