Minor Upgrades That Can Enhance Your Home Without The Hassle Of A Full Remodel.
Luxury is a perspective. To the man walking it’s a bike, to the man on the bike it’s a car, to the man in a Toyota it’s a Mercedes. Luxury holds a different meaning to different people. However, in it’s rudimentary form, luxury means going beyond the basic essentials to improve your life. To your home, it has a different meaning. To some it is a brand new, lavish & modern kitchen. To others its as simple as replacing the hardwood floors with LVP.
Home features come in all shapes, styles and prices. However it doesn’t take a full remodel to make your home feel fresh and new. Sometimes all it takes is a change of pace, an upgrade, to give your space a breath of fresh air. I want to go through a few features for your kitchens and bathrooms that you can have installed that won’t break the bank but will increase both your homes values and your lifestyle.
Modern Bathroom Features
The last line of defense in privacy, the bathroom is a space for solace and peace of mind. So why not consider a few lavish amenities in your bathroom?
Backlit Mirrors
A backlit mirror is a form of a lighted mirror where the lights are situated behind them creating a refined ambiance with an attractive appeal. Having the lights placed behind the mirrors creates a clear lighting that eliminate shadows and provide a full illumination of the face.
Not just useful for lighting but they also include features such as; colored and timed lighting so you can easily match the décor of the bathroom, Anti-fog features utilized by the LED lights make post shower mirror wipes a thing of the past and LED’s are much more durable compared to other lights on the market. As a result, they can withstand much more types of wear-and-tear and will look great for years to come.
Frameless Shower Glass
Most shower glass has a metal frame that holds it in place. Removing that metal frame allows the space to open up and feel bigger. Removing the obscurity of the frame provides a tranquil aesthetic to your bathroom presenting the look of luxury. Simple yet effective. Not to mention, for smaller spaces like guest baths, frameless shower glass is able to be customized to fit any shape.
Heated shower floors/ towel racks
This may sound a bit ridiculous for Florida, but hear me out. we’re all warm blooded, those winter mornings are rough getting out the shower, but not with heated flooring. The components for the heated floors are placed under the tile so it doesn’t interfere with the rooms aesthetic. Finally, heat rises, so the ambience of the rooms temperature will settel down into a comfortable warmth.
As for towel racks, this isn’t exactly seasonal. The idea behind towel racks is to wrap yourself in a warm, cozy towel or bathrobe after every bath or shower. However they’re true purpose if to dry your towels after each use. Preventing our towel from developing that gross musty smell by drying it after every use and reduce your energy bill with how frequently you have to wash your towels. We all do a load of laundry for just towels, I mean there’s a “towels only” setting on most washing machines. Finally, it was proven in a scientific study to reduce bacterial growth on towels by 94% and prevent musty odors (read the whitepaper on Ambaproducts.com).
Floating Vanity
This has to be one of the coolest modern design trends I’ve seen recently. They’re stylish, fit into any design and yes, while a bit more expensive than a traditional vanity it’s not much more. By freeing up space in the bathroom, the floating vanity creates value through its function. Being anchored to the wall makes it more sturdy then believed to be, able to support and average weight of 220lbs. A floating vanity creates the illusion of a bigger bathroom while adding a modern and stylish trend into your home.
Conclusion
Luxury is going the basic necessity to enhance ones life. Remodeling is considered to be a luxury business however not everyone can afford to remodel their home. Simple, affordable and effective upgrades can be made to your bathroom to enhance the space without breaking the bank. It all just depends on what you want vs what you need.
