Bathroom Design Every Homeowner Should Consider

Bathrooms are some of the smallest yet most frequently used rooms in our homes. Given how much time we spend in such spaces, it’s important that their design reflect our needs and aesthetics. If you’re working to design your dream home, keep these considerations in mind for your bathroom: 

Bathtubs and Showers

The bathtub is the centerpiece of any great bathroom. Whether you prefer an oversized clawfoot tub, jacuzzi bath, or a standard drop-in tub, they instantly set the tone of the space. Even if you’re not a bath person, it’s easy to see why tubs are such showstoppers: they ooze relaxation, luxury, and self-care. If you don’t plan on using your tub much, though, you may want to opt for a glass-enclosed or walk-in shower instead. Multiple shower heads can add a spa-like vibe to the room. 

Sinks and Countertops

Drop-in sinks are incredibly common. They’re affordable, easy to install, and can be made out of just about any material. They take up more counterspace, though, and can be more difficult to clean than undermount versions. Undermount sinks, by comparison, require more of an upfront investment, but offer better resale value and are easier to clean. It’s no surprise that undermount sinks are growing in popularity.

Accessibility for the Long Haul

If you’re building your forever home, it’s important to consider how aging might impact the way you use your space. Should you or your spouse need wheelchair accessibility ten or twenty years down the line, you’ll be glad you thought about it during the design process. Universal design principles are ideal for accessible homes. Wider door frames, adjustable height shower heads, and grab bars can go a long way to help you enjoy your home for many years to come.
