Gone are the days when bathrooms consisted of a simple tub or shower stall, commode, and sink. New trends in bathroom design are taking the most necessary room in the home to new levels by adding key spa-like elements. From heated floors to stand-alone tubs, you're sure to find something to make your bathroom makeover a rewarding experience.

Heated floors

If you want to banish cold bathroom floors forever, radiant heated flooring is the answer. A heated floor makes any bathroom feel more inviting. And getting out of a nice bath onto a heated floor is a luxury everyone will appreciate.

Radiant heated floors will work with any type of flooring. You simply set the temperature you desire, and your floor stays at an even and comfortable level. You can choose from electric to water based systems to best suit your needs.

Stand-alone tubs

Stand-alone tubs were once only considered for large bathrooms due to their cumbersome size. However, new stand-alone tubs come in a variety of shapes and sizes to make them suitable for nearly any size bathroom. Whether you prefer a claw foot style for a vintage look or a round tub to complement a modern decorating design, you're sure to find a stand-alone tub that will work for your bathroom.

Stand-alone tubs are great for adding a touch of structural symmetry to a bathroom. Placed in the center of the bathroom, these beautiful tubs will quickly become the focal point of the room. A cushioned bench next to the tub makes an inviting place to sit when drying off.

Vessel sinks

New sink styles add instant elegance to a bathroom. Choose a unique shape to complement your bathroom style. Many vessel sinks look like a work of art rather than a sink and are practical as well as decorative.

Choose from faceted glass, bamboo, marble, copper, solid bronze, brushed nickel, and incandescent resin to take your bathroom to new heights of luxury. Select stylish facets to complete the look.

Large scale lighting

A poorly lit bathroom can appear drab and dreary. Adding a flush-mount chandelier or other large-scale lighting to your bathroom is an easy way to freshen up the room and make it look more open. Using large-scale lighting on the ceiling makes a big impact without compromising floor or vanity space in the bathroom.

Imagine feeling like you are going to a luxurious spa every day in the comfort of your own home. Taking advantage of the latest innovations in bathroom design will get you on the way to making your dreams come true.
