Vanities Take the Spotlight: Nearly two-thirds of homeowners upgraded their vanity cabinets during primary bathroom renovations (63%). Vanities are becoming focal points as one of the few areas of the bathroom to offer a splash of colour, with 1 in 5 homeowners choosing wood, followed by grey, blue, green and brown (20%, 14%, 8%, 6% and 3%, respectively). Homeowners are investing in personalised vanity units with nearly 1 in 5 choosing semi-custom or custom vanity unit options (19%).
Bigger Bathrooms: One in five homeowners increase the size of their bathroom during renovations (20%) and nearly half of bathrooms are 50 square feet or more following renovations (47%). Major features upgraded during renovations include wall finishes (96%), basins (94%), flooring (92%), plumbing fixtures (89%), toilets (84%) and lighting (76%).
Enhanced Home Systems: Home systems are the most frequent enhancement in the bathroom (74%). Top projects include ventilation fan upgrades (85%) and heating installations such as radiant heating and tankless water heaters (26% and 6%, respectively).
Contemporary Style Continues to Lead: Considering that outdated style is a top trigger for bathroom renovations (44%), it is not surprising that style and beauty is an important design aspect for more than three-quarters of renovating homeowners (78%). Contemporary style has continued to lead (36%), followed by modern (31%).
Shower Updates Gain Steam: Shower upgrades are becoming increasingly common during bathroom renovations, up two percentage points over last year (76%).
