The bathroom is the beating heart of many Edmonton homes. Yes, so many people talk about the kitchen or the living room, but in fact, it is the bathroom that tends to be the place we retreat to, and therefore, it’s essential that we give it the renovations that make it stand out.
Edmonton Bathroom Features focus on Modern Upgrades
Renovations are the best time to introduce improvements that will serve you and your family for years to come. A bathroom renovation can be a major undertaking, which is why if you are looking to bring your Edmonton bathroom up to date into 2023, you will love some of the latest features available to modernize your bathroom for form and function.
Natural Materials
For people who want to retreat to the bathroom for that quiet time, natural material like wood is fantastic to bring about a more tranquil frame of mind. Synthetic vanities and sinks were all the rage because of their low cost, but natural materials are an amazing way to create warmth in the space and provide an artistic backdrop.
The great thing about natural materials like teak is that it looks amazing, natural, and when you choose the right materials, it can even resist water damage. When it comes to bathrooms, a lot of people stay away from spa-like materials thinking it’s not going to last long, but natural materials are poised to make a big bathroom impact.
Bespoke Vanity Designs
Vanity designs are currently straddling the balance between improving the aesthetics of a room while also ensuring it complies with sustainability. Sustainability is one of those buzzwords that we’ve all heard over the last few years, and repurposing old pieces of furniture is a fine art. Rather than doing it yourself, opting for a bathroom renovation service that can help you achieve a vanity design you would be proud of will make all the difference.
Circular Mirrors
If your long-standing rectangular mirror seems out-of-date, a circular mirror is part of the modern desire for curves. Straight lines are prominent in a bathroom setting, but arch designs and circular vanity mirrors add a lot more character to a space.
This is a smaller feature, but circular materials are perfect for a bathroom space because they provide three-dimensional effects, and are one of the simplest changes to add to your renovation plans.
On the topic of mirrors, backlit mirrors in a chic style can provide that balance between practicality and aesthetics and will be another popular feature this year.
Shower Seating
There’s been a rising demand for showering stools and seats beyond those with mobility issues. Seating has become a sought-after option for relaxation and achieving that spa-like feel to a bathroom space.
It’s important to measure out your space for potential seating and be sure it’s placed in the right spot. A professional contractor will ensure your seating is the right scale for the space and that it doesn’t take over your shower footprint.
Shower and Bath Screens
If you are looking to set up a shower room, a screen is there to provide segmentation between spaces, and sleek lines that are designed to appeal. One of the biggest design elements of shower rooms is that the screens tend to be frameless and are barely visible.
If more separation appeals to you, you can upgrade a shower screen in many ways, including smoked glass, to add an extra layer of privacy, especially if you are sharing one bathroom!
Freestanding Bathtubs
As many people are looking to achieve that spa-like atmosphere in their bathroom or ensuite, a freestanding bathtub makes your bathroom space feel much more exclusive. Designs have been honed even more to create tubs that don’t just make you feel like you are sinking deeper than ever but provide a grand statement at the same time. There are fantastic designs of various shapes and sizes that boost the feel of your space, ensuring you will not want to get out.
Terrazzo Tiles
This signature stone is going to be one of the most popular tiles this year. Available in a wide variety of colours and boasting a sense of uniqueness in every single stone, it is a beautiful addition to your bathroom while also being practical – tough, durable, and so easy to maintain.
And it’s not just for floors. Terrazzo is great for bathroom showers, counters and as a feature wall. With its durability, beauty and uniqueness, terrazzo is an excellent feature material to consider for your bathroom renovation.
Choices no matter what you’re looking for.
The best thing about bathroom renovations is that there is so much choice out there. Some of the latest bathroom features encompass a wide variety of styles, shapes, and colours, but ultimately it is your personal tastes and needs that should be reflected in your bathroom renovation.
