Today, home remodeling is a $400 billion dollar industry. In 2021 alone, about $18,000 was spent on home remodeling.

Are you considering remodeling your bathroom but aren't sure where to begin? From designer sinks to custom showers and tubs, there are so many options to choose from that it can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. If you're ready to say goodbye to the same old and hello to custom bathrooms that not only wow and delight but are comfortable and meet your needs, then read on today!

Walk-in Showers

Step into luxury with custom-made walk-in showers. Not only are they easier to use and clean, but they're more accessible. 

Walk-in showers are a safer option than stepping over the side of a tub. Wheel into, step over a small lip, or walk into your brand-new shower. Hire a high-quality company specializing in walk-in showers to ensure it's built to last. 

Other benefits: 

• They're highly customizable 
• Increase your home value 
• And more

Walk-in showers can be custom-built into various bathroom sizes. If you hire experts in the field, they'll ensure it fits perfectly. From hydrotherapeutic jets to heated surfacing, there are various upgrades to choose from. 

Walk-in Shower Benefits

Walk-in showers are easier to clean. They have minimal curves and crevices to go around. 

Since there are customization options, choose from a variety of shower doors. Whereas with a regular non-customized shower/tub combo, you're limited to a curtain. 

Accessibility is the top benefit. Whether you're in a wheelchair or have mobility concerns, walk-in showers can be customized with your needs in mind.

Walk-in Baths 

A walk-in bath is a popular option if you have limited mobility or would like ease of use. With traditional tubs, you have a fear of a dangerous injury. Feel like you're in a spa in your bathroom. 

Ensure your tub has easy-to-reach handrails, an extra-wide door, and other features for ease of use. Have the ultimate luxury with both a tub and shower combination. 

Enjoy air jets and hydrotherapy to relax and ease sore muscles. Interior grab bars increase safety. Exterior side frame handrails are important too. 

Walk-in Tub Bathroom Features

Look for a fall fill and drain. Ask about the fill and drain speed for your tub. 

See if it has a low entry step for convenience. Some will come with an overhead shower. This will allow you to shower when you don't have time to bathe. 

Traditional Bathtubs

Enjoy a warm and soothing soak in custom-built bathtubs. Choose bathtubs that have luxury, leading technology, and durability. Choose an installer who will offer exemplary service and quick installation. 

Not only are tubs convenient, but they can reduce arthritis pain, improve blood circulation, and offer muscle pain relief. Soaking in a luxury tub could also help if you have a stressful day.

How to Pick the Right Bathtub

First, consider any mobility concerns you might have now or in the future. Next, think about luxury features such as jets.

Lastly, consider your budget. Even if it's a large amount, it's still good to keep that amount in mind. 

You might want to measure your bathroom to consider space. If you're going to relocate the tub, first find where the plumbing is located. You could also consider placement, such as in front of a window. 

Some popular bathtubs designs include: 

• Corner tubs
• Drop-in tubs
• Alcove tubs
• Walk-in tubs
• Freestanding soaking tub

A walk-in tub is a popular option for those with chronic pain, who are older, or disabled. Drop-in bathtubs are placed into an existing frame.

The perimeter of the frame is exposed and can be made from various materials. They can be rectangular, oval, or circular. 

High-Quality Materials

Choose elegant and top-notch materials such as granite, quartz, marble, etc. They'll look elegant while being functional. 

Combine large granite or marble surfaces with a softer touch, such as a walk-in tub. Place natural elements such as natural wood or indoor plants to complete the look. 

A Separate Tub

If you're not going to use a shower, don't feel it's mandatory to include one. Separate tubs open up spaces and place unique materials to let them shine. These could include step-up, walk-in, and drop-in tubs. 

A Vanity

After a soak, get ready in front of the vanity. You'll have an uncluttered sink/counter area. Pamper yourself, do your makeup, hair, and skincare. 

Have a place for storage around the vanity. Incorporate scented candles, lighting, and makeup mirrors. Don't forget personal touches such as handlebars or other items to ensure it's secure. 

Attention to Detail

Don't forget about smaller touches along the way. Include artwork, accent colors, and accessories. Remember that these accents could change the look of a room.

Some design options include: 

• Scented candles
• Tissue box covers
• Wastebaskets
• Mats or rugs
• Plants
• Soap dispensers 

Hydrotherapy

Your luxury tub could include hydrotherapy. Soothe sore muscles and relax. 

Hydromassages use water and pressurized jets to massage muscles and other soft tissues. It can go by other names, such as aqua and water therapy.

It's been scientifically proven to help relieve soreness from exercise and medical conditions. Before placing it in your luxury bath, speak with your doctor to ensure it's right for you. 

The good news is that the hydro-pressurized jets can be adjusted based on your preferences. Not only can they help with pain relief, but they can relax you and increase circulation. 

Walk-in Closets

Consider a walk-in closet for your bathroom to change into after a bath. A connected closet will do well if it's not right in the bathroom. 

Consider a walk-in closet large enough for both you and your partner. Include room for shoes, outerwear, the season's clothing, etc. Ensure the design goes with your bathroom, including your luxury tub. 

A Sitting Area

A sitting area is perfect for those with chronic pain or limited mobility. It can also be perfect for setting your clothing, applying makeup, etc. 

A stool or bench are popular options. Acrylic, ceramic, and bamboo are luxury items. Teak could be another great option.

Heated Flooring

Keep warm this winter with heated flooring. Make the walk to the tub less painful. 

Even if it's tile, it could be heated. Heated floors can work with linoleum, hardwood, and tile. It also uses less energy than forced air heating since there's no ductwork. 

Enclosed Showers

Consider having a closed-off shower. You can have it right next to a closed-off toilet. This also allows you to have a large shower size.

Instead, you could also have a wet room. Flooring runs the length of the bathroom into the shower. There's a glass enclosure that separates the vanity from the wet-room area. 

Double Sinks and Vanities

For those with a partner, a double sink and vanity will help. This way, you'll have your own space to get ready. Some homeowners even divide mirrors and vanities. 

You'll have additional countertop and storage space. It could also increase your home's value. 

Overall, you can customize and design it to improve the aesthetic overall. Consider what you already have in your bathroom.

If the room has natural boundaries, consider extending it from wall to wall. Decide if you have the space for it since it won't go in every bathroom. Be careful around windows and your bathtub or shower. 

Don't forget good lighting while you enjoy getting ready at the vanity or shower. Pick out lighting that'll brighten the room and highlight the various accents. Choose bathroom accessories that complement your double sink.
