1. Heated Floors

• Not as expensive today as it once was
• One of the best values to improve your bathroom

2. Unique Shower heads

• Add a little luxury to your bath without a major remodel expense
• These can really dress up a shower or tub
• Feels more like a spa!

3. Classic Whites & Grays

• Subway tile is always a classic, you can play with the finish of it – glossy or matte, as well as the size
• Add interest with different accent pieces
• Add pops of color to totally change the look

4. Vanities that look like Furniture

• Lots of our baby boomers are re-purposing pieces they already own from other rooms in their home.
• Storage is excessively important – Use a piece, like a chest of drawers that still gives you storage for those extra towels
• Consider your lighting fixtures as well

4. Walk-in Tubs or Shower Conversion

• 40% of remodeling dollars are coming from Baby Boomers- more than double from 5 years ago
• No more sitting there cold while you wait for it to fill – new technology allows you to stay warm while it fills with heated seats & back & shower wand
• Baby boomers are finding ways to stay in their homes longer – and these baths/showers can look like a major luxury
