Necessary Luxury

Homeowners are spending billions of dollars each year on residential improvements, but when it comes to home design, bathrooms have not always been placed at the top of the priority list. One of the smallest and most practical rooms in the house, its utilitarian function at one time caused the bathroom to be seen as a room of necessity rather than luxury.

Now, a growing trend in home remodeling is creating luxurious retreats in the home as an escape from the every day. Recent changes in this perspective have led to the bathroom being viewed as a place of relaxation, and consumers are beginning to invest more time and money to create a place of seclusion and escape.

Now considered an extension of the bedroom, bathrooms are designed with care and comfort in mind. The newest trend desired by consumers is a coordinated look throughout the entire bathroom. People view harmonizing bathrooms as an upscale commodity that will bring a feel of luxury into their homes.

Thanks to complete bathroom suite collections, homeowners are able to find a style and finish they love and incorporate it throughout the entire room. These collections offer everything from faucets and shower systems to an array of bathroom accessories. All pieces in a collection are created with a consistent design and range from traditional to contemporary themes.

For consumers and builders alike, coordinated collections mean the added convenience of obtaining all bathroom components from one supplier, eliminating the time-consuming process of locating matching accessories. This makes for easy decision making and simple upgrades, getting the job done faster.

“The 21st century homeowner views the bathroom as an escape from everyday life, which can sometimes be chaotic. So the goal is to create a simple, clean and soothing look within the four walls of the bath,” said Paul Patton, senior product development manager for Delta Faucet Co. “Our Victorian Bath collection is an example of a suite that offers everything homeowners need to complete their bathroom with stylish coordination and convenience. From faucets to showers, tubs and accessories, the homeowner will have a consistent look throughout.”

Bathroom collections offer a wide array of accessories and finishes that give consumers a chance to personalize their bathrooms, allowing them the opportunity to express their individuality and creativity in this personal space. Many of the accessories in these collections add to the décor of the room, while providing functionality and increased storage space to the bathroom without compromising design. For example, a towel rack that also serves as a shelf provides double duty, saving space and money.

“Coordination allows the bathroom to be seen as a whole room rather than an area filled with different functions of necessity,” said Patton. “Complete collections bring a sense of cohesiveness to the bathroom, resulting in a luxurious, soothing sanctuary to relax and unwind.”
