People hate taking baths, apparently. In a recent study, it seems that 4 out of 10 bathroom remodels don't include a bath tub. While the trend is normally reserved for people under 35 (those 35 and up are more likely to keep the tub, and the private toilet), this presents an alarming inditement about home remodeling trends in 2014.
Speaking of the toilet, over 80 percent of remodelers are selecting high-efficiency toilets. And more than a quarter of young homeowners are favoring wall-mounted options. Not just in North Dallas but across Texas.
Double sinks are also on the rise apparently, and shower curtains are becoming obsolete; in fact, seven out of 10 new bathrooms have a glass-enclosed area to them. Skylights are also becoming popular.
Over 7,400 people were interviewed and the criteria was needing a bath remodeled. It seems high-end is preferred and shower curtains are on the way out. We spoke with Pete of A1 Soapstone at www.dallassoapstone.com, a local bathroom remodeling contractor, who said that he has seen an increase in high-end remodels even in smaller and lower-priced homes. The moral? What recession?
