The most intimate room in your home and the place where you can enjoy your amenities in peace is the bathroom. As schedules get busier, people want to luxuriate in privacy the few moments per day they are home. To that end, they are investing into remodeling for ultimate comfort. According to Ben Franklin Plumbing Denver (www.benfranklinplumbingdenver.com), the top 5 trends in lavatory luxuries are:1. Vessel sinks are ultra-modern and come in varieties of stone, copper, glass porcelain and wood to match the feel of your bathroom. They can be set on the counter or recessed into the counter and cabinet below-depending on the desired look. The toughest part of switching to a vessel sink from a traditional recessed sink is changing the hardware from a standard-hardware setup. Traditional, recessed sinks generally consist of two handles. Vessel sinks usually have a single faucet complimenting the minimalist look. To add another dimension to your bathroom, you can tailor the height of the sink to your needs. If children will be washing hands, you may want to go with a recessed sink at a shorter height. If installing his-and-hers sinks, consider raising his sink to accommodate for a tidier shaving experience. Lower hers to cater to makeup application needs.

2. Jet shower panels provide the ultimate shower experience. You can customize jet panels to have varied water pressure and spray settings you may also choose to have and shower extensions built in. Most common jet panels have three to six spouts. Add rain-simulating showerheads to the ceiling for a new take on the old shower that will give you something to sing about.

3. Electronic faucets are a comfort item that should not be restricted to hotel and movie theater bathrooms. Bring the ease of automatic water into your home. Automatic faucets conserve water and you don’t so much as have to bother to turn off the sink while you brush your teeth. The standard is models operated by a long-lasting lithium or alkaline battery, an alternative is to hardwire the faucet. Sensor-activated toilet flushers are also available for the home.

4. Though it is also trendy to install a retro cast iron or acrylic claw foot bathtub, evolved bathtubs are rapidly gaining popularity because they are designed for maximum comfort. Walk-in tubs reduce the slip-and-fall factor for mobility-compromised seniors. Stepping over a tub edge can cause discomfort or loss of balance. Women appreciate a shower seat for shaving. Men and women enjoy relaxing in a steam shower while sitting, not standing.

5. Everyone has to have a toilet, but why settle for just any toilet? You might as well make it the best seat in the house. Options run the gamut of amenities you didn’t know you wanted. There is the heated toilet seat, the bidet and the toilet/bidet hybrid. It’s not only the temperature on the seat that you can control, but also the temperature of the water. If you want to go all out, add the blow dryer, the hydraulic slow-close lid and seat, self cleaning nozzles, memory settings so you do not have to reset the temperature with each use and even a remote control. The water needs to be heated through an internal tank and it also connects to electricity, in other words, seek a professional to install.

Now that you’ve put in the time to carefully select your jet panels with just the right hammered copper controls and everything you need to perfect your wash room, you need an experience plumber to install these improvements properly. Otherwise, the investment into these upgrades can backfire.
