Bathroom renovations aren’t just about replacing dated wallpaper and tile; they’re great opportunities to outfit your bathroom with some useful frills as well. These days, you can find a variety of gadgets, gizmos and innovative materials designed to make your bathroom as functional and comfortable as possible. Let’s take a look at a few of our favorites.
Recessed Outlets
Tangled, dangling cords from hair dryers and electric razors are not only unsightly in a bathroom – they can also be dangerous. By concealing outlets inside your medicine cabinet, you can keep wires out of sight and away from places where they might accidentally get wet.
Handheld Showerheads
These are typically thought of as luxury items, but they’re also useful tools for cleaning a dirty shower stall. Handheld showerheads come in a variety of sizes and styles and are generally far less expensive today than they used to be. If you don’t already have one, now is a great time to add one of these handy items to your bathroom.
High-Efficiency Toilets
Modern water-conserving toilets use about 55 percent less water than traditional models. These high-efficiency toilets are good for the planet and your water bill. Some of these toilets use a pressure-assist tank to minimize the amount of water they use, while others use a dual-flush system that uses less water for liquid waste than solid waste. This is a great, practical upgrade that every modern bathroom should have.
Epoxy Grout
It’s more expensive than traditional grout, but epoxy grout is great in bathrooms prone to mold and mildew growth. If you’re tired of scrubbing black mildew out of the grout in your shower every month, switching to epoxy grout can save you a lot of time and frustration.
Humidity-Sensing Fans
A hot, satisfying shower can leave a lot of excess moisture in the air, and over time all that humidity can wreak havoc on the paint in your bathroom. Humidity-sensing fans can be programmed to turn on automatically when humidity levels pass a certain threshold. These fans are ideal additions that can make your bathroom more comfortable, and preserve its paint job.
