Homeowners typically look at their bathroom as one of their first options for a remodeling project. It can become overwhelming trying to determine the upgrades/finishes, timeline, electrical and plumbing needs, and budget. One of the top bathroom design trends over the past several years has been installing walk-in showers with frameless glass enclosures and/or doors. Along with walk-in showers, bathroom remodels are incorporating freestanding tubs, heated floors, and open-layout configurations. Check out some of those ideas on Houzz for Bathroom Remodeling – Shower in Style!

Homeowners with a larger bathroom space typically traditionally hold a tub and shower, however, with a bathroom remodel, you can determine what fits your needs. Some homeowners find they never use a bathtub, so they use that space for a larger walk-in shower space. On the flip side, some homeowners want a standalone tub and a zero-entry separate shower. When it comes to the tub, most people are opting to remove the old Jacuzzi models and install freestanding bathtubs. Check out Signature Hardware’s selection.

Smaller secondary or guest bathrooms with a shower/tub combination (even an Onyx shower?!) can be converted into more usable space during your remodel.  Depending on your family phase at the moment, not having a tub in the home can be a daunting proposition for many, so think through the best option for you and your tastes. However, the remodel should be considered for future growth as well. Will you always need a tub/shower combo? There are many questions that homeowners should consider, which is why it’s important to partner with a design build contractor for your bathroom remodeling project.
