Essential Features For Your Louisville Bathroom

You've been putting off your remodel since you moved in, but you've finally had enough of your unappealing and outdated bathroom! You know the mistakes others have made, and you're ready to get started! When it's time to remodel your bathroom, be sure to include everything you'll need to enjoy your space in the coming years. This is your chance to build it all. Louisville Handyman & Remodeling knows our way around a bathroom remodel, and we're here to share our expert insights so that your bathroom design includes all everything you deserve in your forever home. Check out some of these essential features that will improve your Louisville bathroom's appearance and functionality and increase your home's value.

Double Vanities

Dual vanities allow couples to use the bathroom together in the mornings without bumping elbows or taking turns. They used to be called "his and hers" vanities, but that's unnecessarily gendered. Whether you're looking for more opportunities to spend time with your spouse or simply need an extra sink and counter space to make getting ready for work easier, extending beyond a standard 31-inch vanity can pay off daily.

Walk-In Shower

Walk-in showers with frameless glass enclosures have become a must-have feature for most homeowners. They're sleek, elegant, and easy to maintain. They also create a nice roomy feeling in any bathroom, no matter the size. 

There's also another advantage to walk-in showers: they're good for aging in place. Seniors sometimes have a hard time stepping into or out of a bathtub, but they have far less trouble using a walk-in shower.  Install seating in your walk-in shower to provide options for future needs. Want to stay in your house for the long haul? A walk-in shower is an excellent investment that you can begin to enjoy today. 

Heated Floors

Heated floors take the shock out of stepping out of the shower onto your cold tile floors and turn it into a warm, wonderful experience. Not only are they great after a bath, but they'll help keep your feet warm during the wintertime. Heated flooring is the ultimate luxury, and it's easy to understand why so many people want to have it in their own bathrooms. Building on heated floors costs less than many people expect. Consider radiant heat for your bathroom tile if you're replacing the flooring during your renovation.

Freestanding Tub

Nothing is more relaxing than soaking in a beautiful freestanding tub after a long day! Freestanding tubs are great for unwinding and can give your bathroom the illusion of more space and an air of polished luxury. They come in a wide variety of materials, from copper to porcelain, and can be painted or finished in any color to match your vibe. There are also more options for smaller soaker tubs than many people expect. You could still have a freestanding tub, even in a smaller bathroom. Talk to our team about elevating your bathroom with a luxurious new freestanding tub!

Dressing Room

Are you thinking about expanding your bathroom? Install a dressing area where you can get ready for the day after showering. Dressing areas are especially practical if you and your spouse need a little extra space while you share your bathroom in the morning. For many people, this area doubles as a walk-in closet. Locating your walk-in closet right off your primary bathroom gives you ample intimate space for your daily routines.

Space Saving Solutions

If you’re low on space, as in a powder room, kids’ bathroom, hall bathroom, or Jack-and-Jill bathroom, you may need to be creative with your built-ins and embellishments. Add a countertop over the toilet, a pull-out or fold-down workspace to expand your surface area, or extra built-ins to make storage a cinch.

Custom Storage

Storage is so important in a bathroom! Everyone has experienced cluttered bathrooms with countertop chaos. You need space for your beauty, bath, and other products. Stock cabinetry isn't always adequate, and sometimes you need something more custom for your own collections and routines. Installing custom storage enables you to make use of every square inch in your bathroom while also adding to the value of your home.  Consider a built-in laundry hamper, drawer organizers in the vanity, and custom cabinets for linen storage. Work with our team to design the perfect storage for your bathroom!

Shower System with Body Jet Sprays

Is there anything more relaxing than body jet sprayers? Installing a shower system with a body jet spray feature will make your bathroom feel spa-like every day. You can customize each shower and select everything from which sprayers you'd like to use to the water pressure. Work with our team to have a luxurious shower system included in your design.

Stone Countertops

For many years, homeowners have preferred stone countertop materials like marble, quartz, and granite. Why stone? Its durability and longevity make it an excellent investment, while its natural beauty adds decorative flair to the room. Before selecting your stone countertops, consider the maintenance required. Granite and marble need regular re-sealing, but quartz is nearly maintenance-free. Talk to our team about the best stone countertops for your bathroom.

Smart Bathroom Tech

The bathroom is often the final frontier of technological innovation. By that, we mean bathroom technology and offerings are a little slower to arrive on the market and evolve than appliances and interfaces offered in other home areas. Start your shower with your smartphone while you’re still warm in bed, check the daily details in a smart mirror, and program your preferred settings into your spa shower or toilet.
