You can find wood vanities in a variety of shades and designs to match your style, whether you want something that is more modern or traditional.

While freestanding bathtubs have become more popular in recent years with bathroom design, the style of them is continuing to change. If you plan to remodel your bathroom in 2023, then consider a more unique bathtub design. Whether that is with a more translucent tub in a color, or a unique shape such as round or with a gentle curve, you can add a different style to your bathroom just by switching from a standard bathtub shape.

Think beyond the predictable over-the-sink light fixtures for your new oasis and incorporate some next-level lighting options that will create the spa-like atmosphere you crave. Wall sconces, chandeliers, under-cabinet lighting, and spotlights highlighting important features like the bathtub can do just the trick.

 Bathrooms & Renovation

Bathrooms prove to be one of the most popular renovation projects in the home. Popular upgrades to the bathroom include:

• Tilework
• Toilets
• Bathtubs & showers
• Lighting
• Floorplan

In the age of the open floorplan, many homeowners are carrying this look into their bathrooms as well, opening up the space, thus considering taking out their bulky bathtubs. In smaller homes with less bathrooms, maximizing the space is key, which makes showers a more attractive option. Another aspect to consider is how often you actually use the bathtub. Nowadays, a quick shower trumps a long bath, so the need for bathtubs seems to be decreasing. Although that doesn’t mean that the desire for them has decreased as well.

Bathrooms & Home Value

What you need to consider before making a decision to remove your bathtub is what your long-term plans are for your home. Do you plan on living there for many years? Or is this just a temporary stepping stone to somewhere else? If you’re planning on staying for a while and the need for a bathtub doesn’t suit you, removing it to create a bigger space may work for you. If you’re planning on leaving within a couple of years, consider how removing your bathtub will affect the resale value of your home…because it will.

It all comes down to how many bathrooms are in the home. If there’s only one, removing the bathtub will take your home from a full bath to a three-quarter bath, decreasing the home’s value. This is also less desirable for potential buyers. But as long as there is at least one bathtub in the home, preferably in the master bathroom, your home’s value shouldn’t be impacted as much.

Bathrooms & Homebuyers

Even though it seems as though bathtubs are becoming obsolete, homebuyers are still on the market for homes with bathtubs, preferably a full bath in the master. This gives the option to utilize it when necessary. Keep in mind before you pull the plug on your bathtub, that there are other options besides stripping it down to just a shower stall. Bathtubs are becoming less jacuzzi and more simple and modern, thus blending into the space better. It all will depend on how you plan to utilize the space and what you want out of your home. Be sure to weigh your options before making your decision and choose what works for you now and for the future.
