Top Master Bathroom Upgrades We Know You'll Love

August 31, 2018

Imagine coming home after a long, hard day’s work, drawing a warm bath, lighting a candle, and pouring in some lavender-scented bath salts. Or what if instead, you jump in a hot shower with a perfectly regulated temperature and some of your favorite music playing in the background? Welcome to the master bathroom of your dreams. At New Tradition Homes, we specialize in flawlessly executing new home plans and crafting rooms we know you’ll love. We know a thing or two about creating the perfect space, so we’ll take this opportunity to go over a few of our favorite master bathroom upgrades. Turn Up The Heat One of the simplest upgrades you can make is installing a heated towel bar. There’s nothing like stepping out of a shower and into a warm, cozy towel or bathrobe. A heated towel bar will give your towels and robes that comforting, fresh out of the dryer feel. Another option to consider in your master bathroom is radiant heat flooring. We all know the dread of stepping out of a warm shower just to be greeted with a cold tile floor and a blast of cold air. By incorporating radiant heat flooring into your new home plans, you can make sure that you have consistency in temperature. Your warm, relaxing bath or shower will no longer be interrupted as soon as you step onto your bathroom tile. With radiant heat flooring, you can keep that warm and toasty feeling long after you’ve dried off. Get Smart As technology advances, so too does our comfort and convenience. Master bathrooms are no exception. Smart showers make your water usage more efficient, while simultaneously making your bathing time way more relaxing. Research suggests that things like sound and light can affect our moods. Smart showers customize these features according to your personal preference to optimize your experience. The Bidet4me MSH-10 Music Showerhead, for instance, features a waterproof speaker and Bluetooth connectivity so you can listen to your favorite tunes while in your master bathroom. Want to take a shower but afraid you’ll miss an important phone call? The Bidet4me MSH-10 Music Showerhead solves that problem for you as well, enabling you to answer calls with its built-in microphone. In addition to music capabilities, some showerheads enhance your bath time routine by turning up the lights on your experience. The DreamSpa All Chrome Water Temperature Controlled Color-Changing 5-Setting LED Showerhead has five color settings to coincide with variable water temperature settings. You can also choose from a variety of water pressure settings, including water saving and pulsating massage. To take your shower to the ultimate level of luxury, consider adding a rainfall showerhead. According to a recent Houzz survey, individuals undergoing a master bathroom renovation are most likely to splurge on their shower. And of those upgrading the master shower, three-fourths opt for luxury shower features such as rainfall showerheads or body sprays. Soak It All Up Just as you’ll want to include an optimized shower experience in your new home plans, you’ll want to include a luxurious bathing experience as well. Soaking tubs are a great way to relax and unwind after a stressful day. There are many features that will enhance your time spent in the tub. Of those looking to upgrade a tub during a master bathroom renovation, the Houzz survey found that two-thirds opt for a soaker tub. Aesthetically, soaker tubs are sculptural works of art that can serve as the primary focal point in the master bathroom. Functionally, they provide a spa-like experience that provides for greater immersion and relaxation. Look On The Bright Side Since the master bathroom is a common place to get ready in the morning, consider adding natural lighting. The proper lighting will not only make it easier to apply cosmetics and evaluate appearance, it’s also more likely to brighten your mood and lift your spirits. Skylights are becoming an increasingly popular feature in master bathrooms. Imagine soaking in your tub and looking up at the blue sky above you. Or what about an evening bath soak while mesmerized by the stars above? There are many types of skylights to choose from, including ventilating skylights that also offer the practical benefit of naturally airing out the room. As an alternate option to skylights, you can add a touch of chic to your master bathroom by hanging a chandelier overhead. Light fixtures, such as chandeliers, can give your bathroom an opulent feel. You can easily add elegance to any master bathroom by including sophisticated lighting designs in your new home plans. A Royal Flush Just like smart showers, homeowners are now investing in intelligent toilets. Many of these high-tech toilets feature automated features such as a touchless flush system. Other amenities can include front and rear cleansing, an automatic air deodorizer, and heated seating with adjustable temperature settings. In addition to the convenience factor, intelligent toilets are environmentally conscious, doling out precise amounts of water with each flush. And if you need to find your way to the toilet in the middle of the night some intelligent toilets even include a built-in sensor that will activate a nightlight to help guide your path. With these high-tech toilets, you’ll literally be sitting in the lap of luxury.
