Bathroom Remodeling Trends

The bathroom is often viewed as just a utility-style room and that it doesn’t need to be anything more than basically functional. But for the amount of time that we all use the bathroom in Massachusetts, it really should be made more than functional; it should be a place that can be an oasis from the world. At North Shore Painting Services we have been helping homeowners transform their bathrooms so that they are both beautiful as well as functional. Many people tend to hold back on their bathroom remodeling to just simple things, but this is an opportunity to make it a room that you enjoy using and has the storage options that you need.

Top Trends in Bathroom Remodels

Open showers: More and more, homeowners are choosing to go with the open shower concept where there is virtually no threshold to get to the shower feature. In some of these cases, additional shower heads positioned on the wall and/or ceiling are desired for a more luxurious experience.
Digital fixtures: Rather than having to rely on the traditional handles for hot and cold water, digital options now allow simple buttons to push for on and off, as well as more finite control of the water temperature. This provides for a modern look to the bathroom as well.
Open shelving options: Because bathrooms have a tendency to feel small as well as be small, open shelving provides a way to increase the size of the room. Rather than blocking off portions of the room, open shelves allow the eye to visually see all of the walls and gives a more open feel to the room.
Lighting: While many times lighting in the bathroom is an afterthought, it really can make a big difference in the functionality of the bathroom. Even adding small lights that are triggered by motion to allow a path to be seen in the middle of the night is a nice touch that really adds to the appreciation of the room.

Vintage vs. Modern and The Layout of The Room

Many discussions about the bathroom remodeling project center around what kind of “look” or “feel” is desired for the room. Some are looking for a vintage feel with an old clawfoot tub, while others may want a sleek and modern design utilizing brushed nickel or black fixtures. In some cases, a blending of the two or adding in other elements works well. And understanding the layout of the room is crucial to some decisions and where things are placed.

It is good to come to the table with your own ideas of what you want with your bathroom remodeling project, but our team at North Shore Painting Services will also provide you with suggestions and feedback based on what we are seeing and taking part in. Choices in materials, colors, and more can liven up the room that gets used multiple times each day by every member of your family.
