Bathrooms are becoming a focal point in Wilmington, NC. Modern upgrades are making their presence known, taking bathroom spaces from ordinary to oasis. From small renovations to full bathroom remodels, homeowners and builders alike are finding ways to elevate the bathroom space.
Frameless shower doors are one of the biggest trends we’ve seen when it comes to elevated bathroom style. Their modern look isn’t short on style or practicality. They’re a go-to style choice for those who enjoy a minimalist look, but are versatile enough to complement almost any bathroom interior. But that’s not all that people are loving about this trend.
Though frameless shower doors are part of a trend that we’re seeing, that doesn’t make them insignificant. Light and airy looking shower doors add an artistic touch to your bathroom, improving light flow and accentuating minimalist interiors by having few sightlines.
Made of large tempered glass panels, this glass is nearly impossible to break with normal use. The shatter resistant glass is a built in safety measure in the event of an unexpected break. Shower cleanup becomes quick and easy as glass can benefit from a simple wipe down daily, reserving non-abrasive chemicals for deeper cleans like hardwater deposits and occasional grime.
The latest design trends don’t stop at frameless shower enclosures. Homeowners are making improvements both large and small. We’re seeing an uptick in people renovating small touches like shower and bathroom hardware. For those wanting a larger renovation, improvements like low-iron glass, floor-to-ceiling enclosure, and custom layouts are on the rise.
Homeowners are making an intentional choice by investing in their bathroom space. Modernizing a bathroom can potentially increase property value as homeowners. Homeowners are looking for style, simplicity, and longevity with their upgrades, not just a new trend. Frameless shower doors can provide this, as they’re estimated to last 20 to 30 years with proper installation and upkeep.
With the style, longevity, and simplicity that homeowners are seeking, their choice of tile, fixtures, and layouts is reflecting this theme. Some are embracing a minimal look with neutral toned tile, ultra clear glass for maximum natural light and visibility, and chrome finishes.
Taking that style with a twist, we’re seeing homeowners transform this into a spa-like oasis, swapping chrome for brushed nickel or minimal door knobs, waterfall showers heads, and a nature-inspired tile or decor.
Style aside, homeowners in Wilmington, NC want to maximize their space. They’re being more creative to get the most square footage, by option for sliding doors instead of hinged openings, and even installing corner showers or doorless walk-in showers.
Designing a bathroom can be fun but when it comes to the construction phase, that’s not something you want to let just anyone handle.
Bathroom design requires both attention to design detail and structural integrity. A seemingly minor oversight could result in installation delays or even damages. Avoid all this with a design professional.
