As a custom home builder in Omaha, we know how important it is to build the home of your dreams. Of course your dream home includes a dream bathroom, or two. Bathrooms may seem like pretty basic rooms, the include the same basic fixtures – toilet, tub, shower, vanity – but that doesn’t mean they need to be basic. Bathroom design is hot right now. People are building luxury bathrooms that would rival any spa out there. If you’ve been thinking about building a new home in Omaha, but have only been dreaming about a gourmet kitchen and maybe a large great room, don’t forget to dream a little about your bath.
Here are the Top Trends in Bathroom Design:
Classic white never goes out of style, but black and white is a bold choice.
Accessibility with style – Many homeowners are designing their bathrooms with aging-in-place in mind. They are opting to install grab bars, and no threshold showers now before they’re even needed. Wet rooms that combine shower and tub in one no curb space are a trend that looks to be around for a while. Floating vanities can be adjusted for wheelchairs or scooters and still look beautifully stylish.
3D tile adds a lovely texture to an otherwise bland bathroom area.
Music – Bluetooth in the bathroom means that now you can have music in the shower without installing wires. Kohler even makes a shower head with a built in speaker.
Affordable luxuries such as in-floor heat and towel warmers is a must have for most luxury bathrooms.
Built in seating in the shower.
Spa like features include gas burning fireplace and wall mounted televisions for a truly peaceful experience.
Pet Friendly bathrooms – Your best friend needs a bath too. Many homeowners are building pet shower rooms in their laundry areas or mud rooms. Not for everyone, but for those who like to pamper their pet, it’s a wonderful amenity.
Argon Charged Windows – No need for window treatments when you have argon charged windows. Simply flip a switch and you can shut out the outside.
Hi Tech Bathroom Fixtures – built in audio and video systems, refrigerated medicine cabinet, and chromatherapy are all new bathrooms trends that are up and coming.
Eco friendly fixtures – WaterSense products are beautifully designed and help you save money while saving the environment. http://www3.epa.gov/watersense/, dual flush toilets, H2Okinetic Technology® from Delta Hands free fixtures
