Bathrooms
Think About Adding Technology High-tech upgrades to your shower can let you use a phone app or other control hub to set and control the water temperature, pressure, spray and options for heated floors or lighting. There are voice-activated options so you can sync your shower experience with your Alexa or other device. There are shower heads with waterproof speakers. Ionized shower heads. Essential-oil-infused shower heads, and so much more. If you’re a tech-y person, this is an area you’ll want to spend a lot of time looking into. That being said, it’s rare, at our firm anyway, to receive client requests for tech devices and gadgets in a shower. The technology and software changes so rapidly that many homeowners are rightly concerned about the tech becoming obsolete in a few years and the bathrooms becoming dated and therefore not very appealing to a future buyer. For that reason, we usually recommend clients spend money on nicer materials or fixtures.
Brass Shower frame - the designers brought in antique brass hardware, oak and marble for a mix of a modern industrial look and a rustic feel, with a view to creating a slightly masculine look. “Sometimes, when you go down the typical rustic route, some things are softer,” Fileppi says. “By putting in the industrial tapware, it not only gave it modernity, it also made it feel more masculine.” Marble mosaics in a herringbone pattern in the shower give way to simpler marble tiles on the floor. “They’re two classic styles, but you need a break from the herringbone texture, so we laid something plainer on the floor,” Fileppi says.
