En-suite Bathroom

En-suite bathroom offers the opportunity for greater personalization, an expanded palette of materials and features, and luxury amenities. 

Based on trends in new housing, a well-appointed en-suite bath is often a smart long-term investment. 

The en-suite bathroom has gone way beyond the utilitarian space it once was. Amenities at all price points up the spa factor of any size room. Some of the most popular features are small steam showers, deep soaking tubs, sound and video systems, towel-warming drawers, and radiant-heat floors. 

 

These extras are tempting, but they have to be planned for. Steam showers require moisture-proof surfaces or a heavy-duty ventilation system, for instance. Good planning also helps you decide where you can save elsewhere in your project so you can splurge on a few items.
