3 Bathroom Trends to Watch for in 2016
As 2016 arrives, many people are looking to update their homes with today’s latest design trends. Of all the rooms in a home, perhaps none are remodeled more so than the bathroom.
Whether a master bathroom or a smaller one, people everywhere are making their bathrooms more comfortable than ever. If you’re looking for some bathroom renovation ideas, here are some of the top trends for 2016.
Shower Seats
Originally installed only in showers that were used by senior citizens or those with physical disabilities, shower seats are now poised to become one of the hottest bathroom design trends in 2016.
Now considered a luxury for people who have to shower when extremely tired or simply want to sit down while shampooing their hair, shower seats are expected to vastly grow in popularity in the year ahead.
Water-Efficient Faucets and Toilets
With more people than ever concerned about conservation of natural resources, water-efficient faucets and toilets are in high demand in many of today’s bathrooms. Low-flow toilets, which use just over one gallon of water per flush, will become the norm in virtually all newer homes in 2016 and beyond.
Since many homes have older toilets that use 3.5 gallons of water per flush, the savings on monthly water bills can be quite large. Along with efficient toilets, faucets and shower-heads that are much more efficient will be the standards in modern bathrooms.
Heated Floors
If there is one thing nobody likes, it’s stepping out of the bathtub or shower onto a cold floor. To solve this problem, many people are now having heated floors installed in their bathrooms, and the trend is expected to grow immensely in 2016.
Along with being much more comfortable to walk on, the heated floors play a key role in helping to dry out the room by eliminating moisture and humidity that is always present after a bath or shower.
As these trends become more and more popular in 2016, it’s a certainty that many homeowners will be planning these additions to their own bathrooms.
