Your Villa Magazine - Desert Cities - April - May 2024

BrandPointContent.com edited by YourVilla Staff Experts share five bathroom trends to look for in 2024 The bathroom is arguably the most frequented space in most homes. As the place where we begin and end our daily routines, this space is a vital hub for our lives. Recognizing this, an increasing number of homeowners are now focusing on unlocking the full potential of their bathroom spaces, aiming to create an enjoyable and functional environment that will stand the test of time. The bathroom pros at TOTO have compiled the top bathroom trends based on third-party expertise and consumer demand. 1. Focus on wellness In a post-pandemic era where self- care has become an increasingly important aspect of people’s lives, bathroom upgrades are fantastic ways to enhance their personal well- being. For instance, bidet-equipped toilets optimize hygiene, cleanliness, and comfort for people of all ages. Other self-care features being added to bathrooms include invigorating showers and baths with unique features that promote recovery and relaxation, allowing users to unwind from the stress of their daily lives. 2. Stylish living in place Whether it’s for a multigenerational home or to refresh to accommodate living in place, homeowners are looking to future-proof their homes with stylish yet functional upgrades. This means adding elements to the bathroom that support aging and accessibility, like adjustable height wall-hung toilets, widened doorways, accessibility lighting, beautiful non-slip floors, and grab bars with designer finishes. 3. Spa-like experiences A big trend for 2024 is bringing spa- like experiences into the bathroom. These include renovations like walk-in showers with multiple shower heads, body sprays, and rain showers. Other luxurious upgrades include steam showers, sound systems, heated benches, and towel warmers. Many designers are creating wet rooms that feature soaking tubs as ways to promote relaxation and rejuvenation, offering personal getaways for homeowners in their own bathrooms. 4. Sustainability features Saving water, conserving energy, and reducing waste have become a high priority for homeowners. They are achieving this by adding shower timers, LED lighting, and refillable shower dispensers to their bathrooms. Others are swapping water-guzzling toilets for dual flush models that use up to 25% less water. 6. Personalization by design Whether it’s to refresh, relax, cleanse, or energize, the bathroom should be a place where you feel perfectly comfortable being yourself. More people are opting to incorporate design elements that reflect their individual style, moving away from cyclical design trends.
