Bathroom Remodel Company Shares Trends for 2019

By Inspired Remodels / Bathroom Remodel / Comments Off

A bathroom remodel continues to be one of the most popular home remodeling projects. It’s not generally a DIY project. It’s best to hire a bathroom remodel company or general contractor with extensive bathroom remodel experience. Inspired Remodels is not only a leading bathroom remodel company and general contractor, they constantly scan the horizon for new trends in design. Here’s what’s popular in 2019.

Sink Trends

Vessel sinks were once the purview of bars and high-end restaurants. No more. Vessel sinks are showing up in bathrooms all over Orange County.

Vessel sinks provide more options in sink design. You can get quite creative with faucets too. Use vessel sinks to add a high-end look to your bathroom remodel.

Undermount sinks started in the kitchen but have migrated to the bathroom. Their simple design makes them easy to keep clean. That’s important if the bathroom is a high-usage room.

These dual undermount sinks are spacious with clean lines. Hair, soap, and other grooming debris can’t be trapped in grooves because there aren’t any. Simply wipe the counters and sinks down to keep them clean.

Similar to the undermount sink is the integrated sink. This option is only possible if you are replacing countertops and sinks at the same time.

The sink and countertop are one piece. This is popular for guest baths, half baths, and small bathrooms.

Shower Trends

An up and coming trend we touched on a few weeks ago is the tub in the shower installation. This bathroom remodel trend creates a large but contained wet area for the shower and a free standing soaking tub. Look for more of this in 2019.

This recent bathroom remodel incorporates two popular trends. Not only do you have the tub in the shower, but you have dual showers. This shower combines rainshowers with handheld showers to meet all your shower needs.

Want a spa experience without taking up the space of a jetted tub? Then add a vertical spa to your bathroom remodel wishlist.

Moen is just one of several manufacturers to create the equipment you need for a vertical spa. Just pick your controls, jets, and shower heads and Inspired Remodels will do the rest.

The vertical spa is a space saver. It provides the same water massage therapy in a much smaller design. No need for a separate, bulky tub.

If you want to squeeze as much luxury as possible out of your bathroom remodel, consider the vertical spa.

Of course providing a place for those grooming products is still necessary. That’s why niches will continue to be popular in 2019. These storage spots are built-into the shower and will keep shampoo, conditioner, shave cream and other personal care items at your fingertips. Because of their popularity and practicality, don’t expect this trend to fade any time soon.

Niches continue to provide a medium for creativity with tile and stone as well.

Fresh Shower Remodel Idea: Tub in Shower

By Inspired Remodels / Bathroom Remodel / Comments Off

Looking to get the most of your shower remodel? Take a look at this year’s hottest trend: the freestanding tub in the shower. It actually saves room and maintenance time and money. Here’s why:

Shower Remodel Creates a Wet Room

So tubs and showers both require water. And the people that use them tend to get this water everywhere. Water is necessary in the bathroom. That means controlling water is necessary too.

By placing your freestanding tub in an enclosed shower, you create a “wet” room. Behind the glass, water can flow freely. Whether its in the tub or shower. When you step out of the tub, you are still in a “wet” area. When you turn off the shower, you are still in the “wet” area.

You don’t leave the “wet” area until you are ready to be dry. These wet areas are not only practical, they give the space a real spa-like feel.

This Aliso Viejo shower remodel created a luxurious wet area that keeps the water contained. Dual shower areas and a freestanding tub accommodate a variety of bathing preferences. From rain shower to a good long soak, the owner’s can indulge without creating a flood. They can even give the kids the splashiest of baths without water worries. Nice.

Simplified Design Saves

A shower remodel that puts the tub in the shower can actually simplify the design. You may even find that you save money. A dedicated wet area creates more of a blank slate. Get more flexibility in placing fixtures. Flexibility usually makes plumbing easier and less costly. You may find that a shower door isn’t necessary. Simplified glass design reduces glass costs.

When you create dry areas in the wet area, you get everything you need at your fingertips. Now that is a simplified design for simplified use. This towel bar is installed inside the wet area. It’s location will keep towels dry, keep them easily accessible and free up wall space in the dry area.

Maximize Dry Areas

By utilizing the “wet area” concept in this bathroom remodel, it was easier to maximize the use of the remaining dry area. Double sinks were easier to install. Instead of one large double sink vanity, the His and Her concept is pulled off with two single sinks on opposite walls.

Two people can easily use the sinks at the same time without creating a traffic jam. This bathroom remodel created a space that is beautiful and performs beautifully as well. Isn’t that what you want in a bathroom?

Bathroom Designers Tips for Inviting Guest Bath

By Inspired Remodels / Bathroom Remodel / Comments Off

Lucky you! This is the year friends and family will be descending on your home for the holidays. Lucky guest because you’ve taken the time to look over these bathroom designers tips for creating an inviting guest bath. They may be so comfortable they don’t want to leave. Lucky you!

Convenient and Accessible

Make convenient and accessible your mantra in the guest bath. Repeat it when looking at everything from flooring to decor. You want the room easy to clean and you want guests to find what they need without poking about.

This cabinet is a perfect example of convenient and accessible. Just tell guests everything they need from extra towels to an outlet for the air dryer can be found in this one location. You could even store towels in the upper cabinet and set toiletries on the countertop if you want. Easy for guests to find what they need. The smooth lines don’t collect dust so it is convenient for you to keep clean. This piece can be dusted in no more than a minute.

In the bath and shower area, niches do the same job. This niche is deep enough to accommodate most personal care items without being so deep that water collects and mold grows. Notice that it is also at a reasonable height. Guests come in all sizes. If you have a niche in the shower area, make sure all guests can reach it. Once again, easy to keep clean and convenient for guests. Get the idea?

Guests Need Storage Too

Guests come complete with their own personal items as well. Many guests travel with a bag filled with skin care and make-up products. Of course they will have their toothbrush and hairbrush (assuming your guests have teeth and hair). The simple addition of this small table between two cabinets gives guests a place to place their personal care bag and still keep it at their fingertips. If you don’t want to provide a small table, look at the space you do have and make the most of it.

This small freestanding cabinet not only provides a place to hang the toilet paper, it has a drawer and cabinet. You could designate either area as guest storage. That way guest’s grooming items stay out of view when the room doubles as a powder room for daytime guests. Savvy bathroom designers know that guest baths often pull double duty. First as a wash-up room for daytime guests and second as a full bathroom for overnight guests. Furniture such as this piece do double duty with ease.

Bathroom Designers Understand Luxury and Practicality

Good bathroom designers understand the need to balance practical use of the space with the luxury homeowner’s want. That applies in the guest bath, the powder room, and especially in the master bath.
