If you’re thinking about remodeling your bathroom, you’re in luck. We are living on the technological frontier of the bathroom of the future. Exciting times indeed! From high-tech gadgets to water conservation tactics, let’s check out some of the latest trends.
Let’s start with programmable showers. The days of spinning the knob (what are we, cavemen?) to achieve the perfect temperature are fading, and soon might go the way of the dodo and the brick-sized cell phone. “Programmable showers let you digitally set your preferred water temperature, volume, and even massage settings before you step in,” says houselogic.com. “Luxury models may include a steam system, a wi-fi source for music, multiple body spray outlets, tankless water heater, and a secondary controller to start the system from another room.”
And what about commodes? If you’re a high-roller, there’s the bun-warming, self-flushing, speaker-equipped Kohler Numi toilet, which runs in the $4,000-$6,000 range. But if a toilet that costs the same as some cars isn’t in your budget, there are similar options that are far less expensive.
Also, why not stay up to date on the news while flossing your teeth by mounting a flat-screen TV in your medicine cabinet or vanity mirror? This is another trend that is picking up steam.
You might think these ideas are over-the-top or right up your alley. Either way, you can learn much more about the latest and greatest bathroom innovations here.
