Is Your Bathroom Your Oasis?

It’s possible to achieve spa-quality pampering from your own home. Here’s how!

Using your bathroom is more than a part of your daily routine. It’s an act of self-care. After all, it’s really only there that you’ll find a few moments a day where you can relax and find some true alone time.

But what if your bathroom could serve as more than just a place to get ready for the day – what if it was a place that could become a true escape, with spa-like features that make you feel relaxed and rejuvenated each time you entered the room?

In this day and age, homeowners are opting for luxurious, yet simple, bathroom features to give themselves a relaxing respite in their own corner of the world.

Here are five major trends we’ve seen in our latest Benson Homes bathroom remodels to consider for your home:

1.     For the Shower

First and foremost, homeowners are indulging in some special extras for the shower. They can opt for shower heads that come complete with natural scented oils to enhance their relaxation and indulge in a little aromatherapy while they clean. Additionally, open concepts for showers are on the rise.

2.     Backlit mirrors and medicine cabinets

To add a touch of glam to your daily routine, consider optimum, LED backlighting for your mirrors and cabinets. Not only does it add a sense of calming ambience to the room, it’s also quite practical for makeup application, shaving and hair styling.

3.     Space-conscious soaking tubs

It’s time to celebrate the tiny tub. More and more, homeowners are getting rid of bulky jacuzzi bathtubs, which are classically difficult to clean and take up a huge amount of real estate in the bathroom. Smaller soaking tubs paired with a separate shower make for both optimum tranquility as well as functionality.

4.     Adding a touch of nature

Incorporating materials such as hardwoods, stone, bamboo, plant life and other natural occurring elements to your bathroom remodel can add a splash of Zen to any space. Keeping up with the trend, homeowners are opting for countertops made of quartz to tie the look and feel of the room together.

5.     Smart fixtures

The simplest changes to beautify or enhance the quality of your bathroom can stem from updates to your fixtures. Smart toilets, heated flooring, digital faucets, and even shower heads with Bluetooth connections can add a touch of luxury without major renovation overhauls.

Even the smallest changes or updates to your home bathroom can make the biggest impact when it comes to having a secluded and private place to relax.

Artsy Powder Bathroom Makeover

Benson Homes, known for their expertise in home renovations, recently took on a unique design challenge: to create a powder bathroom that harmoniously blended the distinct styles of both the husband and wife homeowners. The husband's preference for a rustic aesthetic, featuring live edge wood accents, contrasted with the wife's love for spaces filled with glitz and glamour, particularly in hues of blue and purple. This article chronicles their creative journey in achieving a bathroom makeover that satisfied both tastes, showcasing the transformative power of thoughtful design and expert craftsmanship.

A Harmonious Blend of Rustic and Glamour

The primary challenge lay in merging two seemingly divergent styles into a cohesive design that reflected the personalities and preferences of both homeowners. The design team at Benson Homes approached this task with a commitment to balance and innovation, focusing on elements that could seamlessly integrate the rustic charm with elegant glamour.

Design Elements That Speak Volumes

The solution was a masterful combination of materials and colors that spoke to both aesthetics. A standout feature of the bathroom became the live edge countertop, a nod to the husband's rustic preference, which added a natural, earthy feel to the space. Complementing this was a custom maple cabinet, adorned with a large twig bar pull, further emphasizing the connection to nature and the rustic vibe.

For a touch of sophistication and glamour, the design incorporated a gold antiqued tree branch mirror, set against an aqua glossy pescado mosaic tiled wall. This choice of wall treatment brought in the wife's preferred palette of blues and purples, adding a vibrant splash of color and a sense of luxury to the bathroom. The combination of these elements created a space that was both elegant and earthy, perfectly encapsulating the couple's diverse tastes.

The Final Reveal: A Testament to Collaborative Design

The completed powder bathroom was a testament to the possibilities inherent in collaborative design. The rich statement pieces, the thoughtful integration of personal style preferences, and the attention to detail resulted in a space that both homeowners loved. This project underscored Benson Homes' ability to navigate complex design challenges and deliver results that exceed expectations.
