Top 5 Current Bathroom Products

With more and more focus in new home design turning to bathrooms, I thought that discussing the top 5 current trends for bathrooms would be appropriate.  New home bathrooms are getting larger in size and also more stylish.  Homeowners are realizing that at the end of a long day, a sanctuary can be created in their own home within their bathrooms.  Even through remodeling an existing bathroom in your current home your sanctuary can be made!  Here are 5 things that you really must include in your new home or remodel bathroom project!

1. Multi-jet shower systems.  Your morning shower will never be the same!
 
 







2. Heated bathroom tiles.  Keep your feet nice and warm, especially through those cold winter months.



3. Steam shower.  Have your own personal spa day in the comfort of your own home.



4. LED lighting.  Lighting is crucial in any space, but LED lighting can create drama in your bathroom.  Initial costs are high, but long term the cost is worth it!




5. Mirror defoggers.  Electric bathroom mirror defoggers can be installed inexpensively and turn on with the flip of a switch.
