3 Treasure the Tub There’s no denying it—the shower has certainly gained the lion’s share of the limelight when it comes to bathroom bells and whistles. From rain showerheads to multi-nozzle showers for two, and jetted massage options, it’s tempting to think you may wish to forego a tub which undoubtedly is used less often, but this is an area where resale value also plays a role. While you may find a tub to be a space-consuming luxury, a future homeowner may find its absence a deal-breaker, so it is wise to at least provide flexible space for one in your bathroom’s floorplan. Plus, we all require the comfort and downtime that a good soak provides; so, there’s value in including one in any full bath design.

Keep a Tranquil Palette Bold, rich colors are on-trend now in everything from cabinetry to paint to appliances. Classic baths however, keep tones either neutral or muted so that many personal styles can be accommodated in one room. Pops of color and personality that can be employed through the thoughtful choice of tile, an accent wall treatment, or accessories, can bridge the divide between trend and tradition. Paint color is your easiest option to change, so try your “must-have” hue on one wall instead of an entire floor treatment, for instance. This will make for a much quicker and less expensive update should you tire of the trend. Focusing on elements and surfaces that keep you safe and are practical and durable, with an eye for classic beauty and design, will have you enjoying that bath for years to come.
