Special Section : Home & Garden Renovation Guide
Vanities and bath cabinetry have also upgraded in style and functionality . Vanities are no longer empty-shell cabinets that open to a cavernous interior with little customization . Current options for drawers and cabinets include specialized areas for putting your blow dryer neatly away and stackable storage options for all of the essentials . And while you ’ re standing in front of that vanity , you can watch TV in the mirror ! Technology allows your favorite TV program to be projected onto the mirror , so you can keep up with the latest baseball scores or check the weather before going out .
Slate and marble tile are always elegant options for bathrooms , but one of the latest trends in baths are porcelain tiles that mimic wood . These tiles come in sizes up to 48 ” and can be laid to look like natural woodgrain , without the worry of water damage . The woodgrain appearance can really warm up the bathroom .
And speaking of warm — your toilet can be warm too ! Homeowners can opt for a “ throne ” with a retractable base that comes out and heats your feet , as well as the seat of the toilet . And touchless flushing helps prevent the spread of germs among your family , along with a bidet , which ensures a much cleaner experience .
You spend so much time in your bathroom every day you owe it to yourself to make it a more enjoyable place . And , according to hgtv . com , bath remodels can offer a return on investment of more than 100 percent !
