Bathroom Retreats
As modern
life becomes more hectic many people are making the
bathroom their own personal spa, a place to retreat and
relax and get away from the worries of the day. Thirty
percent would be willing to spend more than $10,000 to
make their bathroom the ultimate dream bathroom
according to the American Standard Bathroom Habits
Survey.
To create a beautiful, relaxing space for themselves
homeowners are expanding the size of bathrooms and
adding simple luxuries like whirlpool baths, bathroom
furniture and decorative fixtures. Size is the number
one bathroom design trend among homeowners.
As far as fixtures are concerned a majority of Americans
choose a whirlpool as the number one item they want in
their bath. As the size of their bathrooms increase
homeowners are also experimenting with armoires for
television, storage or music and lounges for reading and
relaxation. Homeowners are also becoming fond of using
vintage furniture for vanities or for decorative
purposes.
The use of different materials is another popular design
trend, including materials like decorative glass,
marble, natural stone, glass tile, porcelain tile,
china, chrome and stainless steel.
Another way to create a relaxed and peaceful environment
is through the choice of colors. Adding color to the
bathroom can be as simple as a new paint color for the
walls to adding some decorative tiles to a hand painted
sink.
Regardless of your style and taste there are now more
choices than ever to create your own personalized place
of retreat and relaxation.
