If you're planning a major bathroom renovation, there's a good chance that you've at least heard mention of universal design, or seen ADA approved fixtures like toilets or bathtubs. But the concept of "age in place" bathroom design might never have come up directly. Essentially, the notion is to install accessibility features in your home now so they're available later in life when you might need ...
Big, luxurious, walk-in showers have become one of the most desirable features in bathroom design. They're convenient enough to use even if you have a busy schedule and scale remarkably well to the size of your bathroom and your budget. While the ideal you'll see on TV and in design magazines is a
shower built to ...
If you're looking for a way to build a luxury shower on a budget (or in a smaller space!) your best option might be one you've never heard of. Shower panels are a relatively little-known option, but they're a great, budget-friendly midpoint between a generic showerhead and an expensive custom shower. They offer many of the same luxuries as high end shower systems, but are completely self-contained...
Do you have a really old, crusty, gross shower head? Or maybe just one that's jut
okay, but doesn't really give you the kind of
shower you enjoy? If you're putting off replacing it because you don't want the hassle of calling a plumber, you're in luck. Swapping out shower heads is one of the easiest j...

After all, it's hard to have a big, sweeping shower stall when your bathroom itself is neither big nor sweeping, and ditto for a roomy soaking tub or whirlpool. In bathrooms where there isn't much space to spare, you often end up having to choose between having either a shower or a bathtub, or co...
I'll be the first person to admit my love affair with hot water. I love a long
shower or a good soak probably just that much more than your average joe, and I'm thrilled by every new big kid bath toy that comes along. I'm especially excited about hydrotherapy shower panels, which are fast becoming both prevale...
In recent years, showers have become the main focus of most luxury bathroom remodels. Big bathtubs - especially whirlpool tubs - have largely fallen out of vogue in favor of expansive custom
showers: rather than shower vs bathtub, the debate these days is shower vs shower system, almost forgetting about ...
Really nice looking bathrooms can be a major selling point in any home, and are one of the main features that buyers will look for. But if you're getting ready to sell and one or more of your bathrooms is only so-so, an extensive bathroom renovation probably isn't worth the rate of returns you'd get on the time, effort, and expense that would go into the project. While some trends are holding stea...

Clawfoot tubs are among the most iconic fixtures in all of bathroom design. They're classic, elegant, attractive, and work equally well with a vintage or modern style. So it's no surprise if you're considering making one a centerpiece or integral part of your bathroom. But if you've never had (or used) a
