Design Trend: Custom Showers

Custom showering is the number 2 design trend in bathrooms. From rainshowers and body sprays to chromotherapy lighting, custom showering is accessible for the everyday user. Statistics show that 70 percent of Americans shower daily, so the need and desire for exceptional performance and multiple water jets are fast becoming the "norm" in bathroom design. Further, many people desire to create spa like environments in the bathroom which include 3 to 4 experiences, such as soaking tubs, steam, custom showering and chromotherapy. For those concerned about water consumption, low flow showerheads and body sprays are available.

Lower Levels

What are you waiting for? It's now the perfect market to finish or transform your lower level.

Did you know that fun, creative design elements (such as an elegant Irish pub or a walk-through library wall) not only add a rich character to a space, but also utilize visual depth to help define entertaining areas without "closing off" separate spaces? The addition of warm, rich color schemes add drama to the space, helping your lower level no longer feel like a cold basement.
