Luxury Mixed with Practicality
According to The American Institute of Architects (AIA) Design Trends Survey, compiled from surveying 500 architects to find the most popular design features across the country. Here is what the survey found as the top bathroom remodel trends:
1. Water-saving Toilets
2. Radiant Heat Flooring
3. Universal Design/Accessibility
4. Curbless Showers
5. LED lighting
"With the aging baby boomer generation, it is not surprising that universal design is on the list. "Universal" design means a home is welcoming to everyone, no matter what their situation. It includes such features as a no-step entry, wide doorways and halls, and main floor facilities for the activities of daily living. Whether you are anticipating aging in place, remodeling your home to accommodate an aging parent or disabled family member, or just want to make your home visitable for everyone, there is a growing demand for this design approach. The most common universal design bathroom features are wheelchair accessible showers, lever faucet handles, lever door handles and a sink with knee space below."
