Bathroom remodels have consistently high returns on investment year after year. Whether you're setting your home up for a higher resale value or you simply want to make your mornings brighter, these remodeling ideas will enhance both.
Vanities: From central to focal
The vanity can anchor your bathroom's design because it is central to your routine and the physical space. Updating this feature can be as simple as refacing the cabinets, and as complex as ripping out the old for something new.
Floating vanity: These features are popular because they add modern flair and create clean lines. What's more, they can be floated at any height and leave floor space for radiant heating or storage.
Comfort height: If you find yourself stooping and overreaching to use your vanity and sink, it's no rare inconvenience. A little more than a decade ago, designers realized the standard-height vanity at 32 inches wasn't cutting it. The new "comfort-height" standard is 36 inches.
A second sink: Many homeowners have been dreaming of a second sink since their childhood battles in the family bathroom. If you have the opportunity and the space, adapt your vanity or install a new one that will accommodate a second sink.
Showers, tubs: From necessity to luxury
Standard showers and tubs are built for function rather than inspiration and relaxation. Updating these features can transform your bathroom from a basic, functional room into an enjoyable retreat.
Free-standing tub: These tubs are popular, and can give your bathroom a quick visual turnaround. In fact, they can stand as a design statement rather than a sunken necessity. Plus, they're available in magazine-worthy finishes such as wood and copper.
Multiple shower heads: Additional shower heads aren't just a luxury option. They add convenience, especially if you're installing a handheld style to go with a stationary rainfall showerhead.
