Showers take the spotlight: Almost three-quarters of homeowners upgraded their shower (74%) with more than two-thirds increasing their shower size during renovations (68%). Increases in size were substantial, as almost a third enlarged the shower by more than half of the original size (32%). In addition, 20% of renovating homeowners chose to remove their bath with more than four in five of those using that space for a larger shower (82%).
Light and bright: White continues to be the top choice in bathrooms, with more than half of renovating homeowners choosing white worktops (57%) and more than a third opting for white walls both outside and inside of the shower (38% and 34%, respectively). That said, one in 10 are turning to green and blue as accent colours in their bathrooms (10%, each).
Vanity design: Of the almost three in five renovating homeowners who upgrade their vanity (59%), the majority choose to go with pre-manufactured and pre-assembled stock vanity units (60%). Floating designs are the most popular (45%), followed by built-in and freestanding units (32% and 21%, respectively). Flat panel door styles dominate (57%), followed by shaker (20%). Glass-front doors command a small yet important share (4%).
Techy toilets: More than four in five homeowners upgraded their toilet during renovations (84%) and top features include bidet functionality and automatic or hands-free flushing (28% and 27%, respectively). A quarter of renovating homeowners opt for motion-activated seats, overflow protection anti-clog systems and built-in nightlights (25%, each).
Mirror mirror on the wall: Almost three-quarters of renovating homeowners installed new mirrors in their bathroom (72%), with 14% adding two or more. For these new mirrors, homeowners are choosing designs that feature LED lighting, anti-fog systems and hidden plugs (77%, 72% and 32%, respectively).
Plant power: Three in five renovating homeowners include plants in their updated bathrooms (62%). For the majority, this is driven by a desire to enhance the aesthetics of the room (91%) and many feel it contributes to a calm environment (60%). Practical benefits are also noted among renovating homeowners, including air purification, antibacterial attributes and odour-fighting abilities (38%, 8% and 5%, respectively).
