More homeowners are focusing on integrating tech and wellness into their homes. Bathrooms are no exception, as seven design trends show that this room is "having a moment".
"With much of our focus now on eating healthy, and meditation, the bathroom is becoming more of a sanctuary," says Tina Ramchandani. The designer tells Realtor.com that her clients are increasingly installing free-standing and soaking tubs. "Taking baths is becoming more popular—instead of quick showers—and I'm seeing more and more renovations including bathtubs in homes."
As smart technology continues wiggling its way into the American home, the bathroom is not being forgotten. Think digital shower controls and bath fillers, faucets that sync with your smartphone, and $7,500 smart toilets with heated seats and deodorizers (among other choice features). The Verdera Voice Lighted Mirror, pairs with Amazon Alexa, allowing lighting control, listening to the news, or music to sing to in the shower.
