Findings from a survey of 293 IE homeowners on Houzz about their recent or planned bathroom renovation projects
HIGH-TECH UPDATES: 13% of upgraded showers, 12% of upgraded toilets and 7% of upgraded baths in renovated bathrooms are equipped with at least one high-tech feature.
TIME FOR TECH: Nearly half (49%) of renovating homeowners spend 30-60 minutes a day in their home bathrooms. 45% admit to using mobile devices in their bathrooms at least once a week, checking emails, texting, using social media, listening to music and reading.
REACHING THE BREAKING POINT: Many homeowners are done with their dated, aging bathrooms – no longer being able to stand the old one is one of the top triggers for starting a bathroom renovation (33%). Nearly a fifth are also tackling a bathroom that is breaking down (19%).
SUPERSIZING THE SHOWER: While nearly a third of bathroom renovators are increasing their bathroom size (27%), over three quarters are increasing the size of their shower (83%)
PROFESSIONAL HIRING ON THE RISE: Nine in ten homeowners enlisted or will enlist the help of a professional during their 2015-2016 bathroom projects, with two in five renovating homeowners upgrading bathrooms that were previously renovated 16 years or more ago (42%).
