If you are planning a renovation this year, consider incorporating these trending elements that define modern luxury in New England:

1. The Freestanding Soaking Tub

The massive, built-in jacuzzi tubs of the past are out. They are being replaced by elegant freestanding soaking tubs. These act as a sculptural focal point in the room and provide a deep, relaxing soak without taking up as much visual bulk.

2. Spacious Double Vanities

For couples, a double vanity is a game-changer. It provides individual storage and counter space, ending the “morning rush” conflict. We often design custom cabinetry with built-in power outlets inside drawers to keep hair dryers and shavers hidden but charged.

3. Steam Showers and Wet Rooms

Bring the spa experience home with a steam shower. Enclosed in glass and equipped with bench seating, a steam shower is perfect for the cold Massachusetts winters. We also see a rise in “wet rooms”—large, tiled areas that house both the shower and the tub behind a single glass partition.

4. Radiant Heated Floors

There is nothing worse than stepping onto freezing cold tile in January. Radiant floor heating is an invisible luxury that keeps your master bath cozy and dries out moisture on the floors quickly, preventing mold.

5. Smart Toilets and Bidets

Hygiene meets technology. Modern smart toilets with built-in bidet functions, heated seats, and automatic lids are becoming a standard request in high-end master bathroom remodeling MA designs.
