Walk-In Shower: Modern, Accessible, and Stylish
Walk-in showers are increasingly popular in bathroom remodels, especially in homes where accessibility, space-saving, and sleek design are priorities.
Benefits:
- Easy entry, no stepping over a tub edge
- More spacious feeling in smaller bathrooms
- Great for aging in place or multi-generational homes
- Stylish, modern look with frameless glass and custom tile or Onyx walls
Considerations:
- Not ideal for families with small children
- Can reduce resale value if it’s the only tub in the home
Bathtub: Timeless Comfort and Resale Appeal
Bathtubs still have their place, especially for households that enjoy soaking or want to appeal to families with kids.
Benefits:
- Perfect for relaxing soaks
- Essential for households with young children
- Often expected in full bathrooms for resale
- Freestanding tubs add a touch of luxury
Considerations:
- Takes up more space
- Can be difficult to access for seniors or people with mobility issues
Combination Solutions
Can’t decide? Consider a tub-shower combo for the best of both worlds, especially in guest baths. Or install a walk-in shower in the master and keep a tub in the hall bath for flexibility and resale value.
So… Which One Is Right for You?
Ask yourself:
- Do you take baths, or mostly shower?
- Is accessibility a concern?
- Are you remodeling for you or future buyers?
- How much space do you have to work with?
