Bathrooms used to be among the smallest and most nondescript rooms in a house, but increasingly, new homeowners want luxury bathrooms. A bathroom renovation can vastly improve the resale value of your home in today’s market. In 2016, three major bathroom remodeling trends have developed around San Mateo.

San Mateo, CA 2016 Bathroom Trends1. Bathtub Be Gone

While bathtubs used to be considered essential in a bathroom, they are increasingly becoming passé. Shower conversions are all the rage these days. While free-standing soaking tubs are still popular in large bathrooms, for the smaller bathroom, the trend is to change the bathtub to a walk-in shower. This can make the bathroom look larger and feel less cramped, but it does often require some expert plumbing, including moving the drain. Large, attractive shower heads are typically installed during these conversions. When it comes to style, large shower tiles seem to be the preference.

2. Hello to Dual Sinks

Nothing improves a marriage like giving each member of the couple a little bit of personal space. Dual his and hers sinks, that allow each person to have their own sphere for preparing for life in the morning, are a growing trend in bathroom remodeling. Installing a dual sink where one does not currently exist may take some creativity, but a good plumber and bathroom remodeler can usually make it happen.

3. Let There Be Space

While dual sinks give home-owning couples personal space, there’s also a growing need for storage space. The latest trends in bathroom remodeling mean adding more shelves and drawers to bathrooms, including in vanities, wall cupboards, linen closets, and even showers.

Plumbing in bathrooms can take up a lot of room, thus minimizing the storage space available in a vanity. A qualified plumber, however, in conjunction with a bathroom remodeler, can find ways to minimize the distraction of the plumbing equipment in order to maximize available storage space.
