Bigger is better, at least when it comes to the bathroom. According to Interior Design Associate (IFDA) 85% of industry experts surveyed predicts that the trend toward larger, more spacious, sophisticated and luxurious bathrooms will continue.
It's not just about people wanting more upscale products we are redefining what luxury is and what our needs are. From exotic light fixtures and vanity, to multi-head showers with clear glass doors and pressurized shower massagers, from heated floors to heated toilet seats. Not to mention steam showers and saunas in the bathroom. People are finding it harder and more time consuming to visit health clubs for these amenities so why not have this luxury in the comfort of your own home? Homeowners are replacing their old shower and bathtubs with multi-head showers and jet tubs.
What's driving the trend?
Obviously the internet, magazines, shows on TV and the influence of other furnishings. People are considering their bathroom as an oasis of luxury and comfort, they are decorating the bathroom like the rest of the house.
Homeowners are requesting more spacious bathrooms to leave room for double sinks, mirrors, and skylights. These days vanities are handmade with your choice of wood, glass, steel, stone or stucco. Homeowners are getting bolder in color schemes and choice of light fixtures.
What is the cost of bathroom remodeling? What should be my budget?
It all depends on your taste and desire. On a light remodeling which includes: exchanging old bathroom fixtures, with new fixtures and cabinets, as well as new paint and flooring for a 6'x8' bathroom expect to spend $7000 and up. For a complete gutting of a 6' by 8' bathroom to start from scratch expect to spend 10k and up. For a midrange project which would add to the size of the existing bathroom including expansion and structural modifications a range of 15k to 30k. For those of us with the desire to add a jacuzzi tub, steam shower, heated floor, granite or marble finishes, with complete luxury, sauna and dressing room the cost can be in the 80k+ range.
