As the site of makeup touch-ups, morning showers, and nightly dental care rituals, our bathrooms make a recurring appearance in our day-to-day routines. Have you ever thought about the role your bathroom plays in your everyday life? If you have the habit of waltzing into your bathroom and mindlessly fix your hair or inspecting your teeth for salad remnants, you might not realize that the restroom is often the place where you start and end your day. 

Whether we’re using our bathroom spaces to maintain our hygiene or treat ourselves to a long-awaited self-care spa day, the bathroom serves two primary functions: enhancing our appearance and the resale value of the property itself. 

Should a prospective buyer spot an outdated bathroom caked with dirt, grime, and soap scum during a showing, they may back out of their offer or search elsewhere for their dream home. That said, a bathroom remodel is often a need, not just a want. Worried that the hours spent retiling your bathroom won’t be worth the money and energy it takes? Settle your doubts by reviewing these benefits of a restroom remodel. 

• Increases the overall home value
• Provides an opportunity to make necessary repairs
• Offers a chance to personalize the space
• Enhances appeal during the selling process

For those homeowners hoping to give their existing bathroom spaces a modern twist, swapping out outdated fixtures for elegant and minimalist faucets, showerheads, and vanity lighting could be the long-awaited answer to their questions. If you’d prefer to start from ground zero and ditch your farmhouse-inspired living spaces altogether, consider shopping for modern house plans like these. That way, every square inch of your home will have the contemporary flair prospective buyers crave.

If you have a home under construction or are in the process of remodeling, this is the right time to consider installing fixtures that will make your bathroom look like it belongs in a 5-star hotel. Are you wondering where to start? Here are a few worthy additions to your modern bathroom space.

Free-standing bathtub

You have to admit that anytime a homeowner installs a free-standing bathtub, it catches your attention immediately. Why? Well, for one, it’s the perfect fusion of modern and traditional design. If you’re looking to achieve a luxurious-looking space, this could be your golden ticket. Just remember that the key to creating a luxurious feel around a freestanding tub is balance and proportion.

Simple sink fixtures

To achieve that modern and elegant look, it’s not always necessary to get overly creative. When you boil it down to the basics, two sink elements are deserving of your undivided attention. First, you want to make sure that the sink area doesn’t clash with the shower/bath area. For that widely-desired wow factor, coordinate your sink design with your shower design and utilize classic lines that pull the space together. Secondly, the actual sink fixture should be sleek and simple.

Add greenery to the shower area

What if you could make your bathroom feel like a spa at home with a few simple touches? Good news, you can. By adding stones, plants, and miniature trees, you can achieve that spa-like ambiance and feel like you’ve transported to a luxury resort. While shower plants don’t typically grace the covers of interior design magazines, you’d be amazed at how natural it feels to place a couple of plants around the shower and bathtub area.

Rainforest showerheads

The thought of taking a shower out in the rain certainly has its appeal. One of the most popular plumbing fixtures on the market today is the rainforest showerhead that mimics a rainstorm. After installing your rainforest showerhead, coordinating it with chic faucet handles and a modern towel rack to give the shower area a real boost. 

Final thoughts

Don’t settle for outdated bathroom spaces with coral tile and pastel blue sink fixtures. Bring your shower area into the 21st century with these modern bathroom fixtures. With a few additions, you can vacation in your brand-new rain shower.
