Luxury Bath RemodelingWaking up on a cold winter morning is hard enough. Yet we make things even harder by living with a bathroom that does nothing to help us handle the cold. If you’re like most people, you’ve had countless mornings in the winter where you spend lots of time shivering or rushing because of the cold in your bathroom. With the right bath remodeling this year, you can escape the winter in your home and in your bathroom, and you will be more comfortable than ever.

Heated Floors

One of the greatest things to include in your winter bath remodeling plans is a heated floor. No more scrambling over the cold bathroom floor in the morning as you get ready for work. A heated floor means that you’ll be comfortable without sandals or socks even on the coldest days of winter.

Towel Bar Warmer and Warming Drawer

An often-overlooked possibility during bath remodeling, a towel bar warmer, should be on your list. One never really appreciates the value of a towel bar warmer until they are able to experience one first hand. Once reserved for very luxurious hotels and resorts, you can now enjoy a warm or hot towel during the winter after you get out of the shower.

Another option you have is a warming drawer. These can be installed in master bathrooms to keep your towels warm for anyone to use. Oftentimes, we place a matching wood cabinet on the front of them and they look as if they are built right into your cabinetry – only you know they are there.

Toe Kick Heater or a Full Blown Fireplace

Installing an electric or hydronic toe kick heater (also known as toe space heaters) as part of your bath remodeling can help you fight the winter chills. Toe kick heaters are a luxury that you deserve this winter, and every winter after.

If you want to take things to the ultimate level, you can turn your bathroom into the ultimate place of luxury during your bathroom remodeling project. A small fireplace can turn your bathroom into a romantic and comfortable area of your house. Enjoying the calming effects of a fireplace is also a great way to reduce stress while you soak in the tub.

Recirculating Pumps

Recirculating pumps are a genius invention for the winter. One can easily be installed during any bathroom remodeling project. You won’t have to live in fear in the morning of a cold blast of water from your shower. These pumps get hot water to your shower instantly! No more waiting around for hot water on those cold winter mornings.

Exhaust Fans and Heat Lamps

One common addition for the winter during your bath remodeling is installing exhaust fans and heat lamps in ideal locations of your bathroom. These can turn your bathroom into a very comfortable refuge from the cold winter weather.
