The famous architect Louis Sullivan once said that form follows function. While this idea was a foundational design principle, it has evolved over time. Many areas of the home have transformed as modern family routines and compositions demand spaces that are both functional and comfortable—not luxurious rooms that remain unused. That’s why kitchens, living rooms, dining areas, and bathrooms have become spaces meant to be enjoyed, optimized for the limited hours families spend together.
When considering a bathroom remodel, it's important to design for functionality, but also to view the space as a retreat. After a long, stressful day, there’s nothing like coming home and enjoying a shower or bath that not only serves its basic purpose but also offers the tranquility and relaxation of a spa. Designers now incorporate elements that deliver comfort and luxury—such as rain showers, jacuzzis, water jets, integrated sound systems, candles, aromatherapy salts, textured surfaces, and of course, a good bottle of wine or champagne with fresh fruit. A perfect complement to this ambiance is the use of natural stone and tile on walls and floors, creating balance and rhythm through varied textures.
Today, there are endless tile styles to suit all tastes and to recreate a spa-like experience in your home bathroom. That said, remodeling a bathroom is a significant investment. It’s crucial to use high-quality materials—not just aesthetically, but also functionally. The adhesive and grout used are key components that ensure strength, finish, and durability for both walls and floors. For shower floors, it’s best to use sanded grout, which helps reduce the risk of slipping. It's also essential to use adhesives that resist moisture and humidity to ensure long-term durability.
Use natural light whenever possible, and design your bathroom to comfortably accommodate more than one person. Bathrooms are no longer just individual-use spaces; they’ve become places for couples to share. The bathroom has evolved from a purely functional space to one that provides a luxurious, peaceful experience. Don’t wait—upgrade your daily routine into one filled with self-care and relaxation. Let your imagination run free and explore options that maximize your space. Remember, design is a holistic process where every detail matters. Choosing the wrong adhesive or grout can ruin your investment and force you to redo your work.
