Smart Bathroom Features You Didn’t Know You Needed

Bathroom remodels are usually done for two reasons. Either something isn’t working well and you need it to, or your bathroom is outdated and needs a superficial facelift. You need your bathroom to be functional. The shower must clean you effectively, flush the toilet, and turn the sink on. If you have the basics functioning well without leaks or other issues, you may think that’s all you can ask from a bathroom, and any luxuries you add will be purely superfluous. Consider a nice countertop, upgraded tile, or other decorative features if you want a facelift. However, technology is advancing rapidly, including upgrades you can make during your bathroom remodel. Many homeowners don’t think of the bathroom as a technological hot spot, but with new smart bathroom features, you can turn your primary bathroom into a space of comfort, convenience, and efficiency. After implementing even a few innovations, you will wonder how you ever lived without them.

Smart Bathroom Features Add Comfort You’ll Get Hooked On

Sure, all your bathroom needs are functionality. You can take care of all the essentials without moving beyond the basics. However, your bathroom can be so much more than just a functional space. Think about how much time you spend in your primary bathroom. It’s where you get ready for your day and wind down after a long one. It’s one of the most used rooms in your home daily. Your primary bathroom should be a place of comfort, and this is where innovative features come into play. When you invest in yourself and your comfort and upgrade your bathroom, there are features you will get hooked on quickly.

A smart showerhead can turn your daily cleansing routine into a spa-like experience. Smart showerheads not only conserve water, but they can adjust the temperature, water pressure, and even lighting depending on what you need. Some smart showerheads are even equipped to play music. When washing your hair, you can adjust the pressure for the best rinse and massage, and when you are cleansing your body, the shower can adapt to make you feel like you are standing in warm rain. When you are ready to leave the shower, smart systems can heat your floor and towel rack, so you don’t need to deal with extreme temperature changes. Radiant floor heating is something many homeowners quickly find they’re hooked on. A warm floor and a warm towel after a shower make a huge difference in comfort, and innovative features make them possible.

Smart Bathroom Features Add a Level of Convenience that Will Streamline Your Routine

While comfort is key, convenience is also something that can’t be ignored, and innovative bathroom features are exceptionally efficient at streamlining your routines. Automation is one of the most significant advantages of installing innovative features. You can harbor germs no matter how often you clean your fixtures, toilets, and faucets. A smart faucet can be almost entirely touch-free. You can set the temperature and turn on the faucet without ever touching the handles, which is not only hygienic but can save your skin from extreme temperatures. Smart toilets offer advantages like seat warmers, touch-free flushing, and even nightlights that can keep you from turning on a harsh overhead light overnight. When you combine a smart bidet with a smart toilet, you can change your bathroom experience.

In addition to smart fixtures, anti-fog mirrors with adjustable lighting ensure the most convenient experience as you prepare for your day. Knowing that you can control the heating, lighting, and fog from your phone feels futuristic and is a part of your morning routine that you’ll find necessary.

Energy Saving Options Can Make Your Bathroom Efficient in the Best Ways

These upgrades will improve your experience. But they will also make your bathroom efficient and more energy-friendly. With smart thermostats, your water will be heated to the desired temperature with no waste. Smart fixtures, like showerheads, sinks, and toilets, use less water without compromising performance. Flow sensors use less water when needed and more only when necessary–smart plugs for these appliances shut off when not in use, preventing energy waste. While towel warmers and radiant heating on the floors may seem to use more energy, they are very efficient when programmed correctly. With the ability to control the water’s temperature, the lighting’s intensity, and fixtures’ heat, you won’t waste unnecessary energy on water, heating, or lighting. Smart appliances adjust automatically as they learn your preferences, reducing waste significantly. You can customize your setting easily for different needs throughout the day.

When you are remodeling your bathroom, don’t ignore smart bathroom features. Embrace these innovations to elevate your daily routine and transform your bathroom into a functional, efficient, and luxurious space. With smart technology, you will reduce your carbon footprint while enjoying all the luxury you once thought was wasteful and unnecessary. While investing in this technology may initially come at a slightly higher price, you will soon find that you never want to be without it. If you plan a bathroom remodel, talk to your contractor about all the innovations available to make your space one you want to spend time in.
