Elevate Your Everyday: Top Ideas for Your Winter Park Bathroom Remodel
July 4, 2025
With the right forward-thinking design, your Winter Park bathroom remodel can be a spa-like retreat that luxuriously meets your morning, midday, and evening routines (and enjoyment).
Your bathroom can go far beyond the functional, integrating elevated upgrades that can evolve with your needs over time.
5 Tips For Designing A Luxurious Spa-Like Bathroom
We like to spend quality time with clients at the outset of the bathroom remodeling design phase, learning about them, their lifestyles, and their present and future plans for their home. This allows us to go above and beyond a "right now" design, embedding timeless features and amenities that continue to serve them as their needs change over time.
Bathroom renovations require a contractor's expertise because, in most cases, the footprint is smaller, and every square inch matters. Plus, if desired, we can evaluate a client's current home layout to see if we can find ways to recoup extra space in the bathroom(s), which can elevate the final design that much more.
Here are five tips and recommendations to get you started on your Winter Park bathroom design.
1) Remodel All Of The Bathrooms At the Same Time
The more you do simultaneously, the better the visual and functional flow throughout the home. So, if this isn't a good time to do a full home renovation, you may still want to consider remodeling all the home's bathrooms to reap the benefit of lower-price breaks and streamlined labor costs.
That said, you'll want to do things differently depending on who uses the bathrooms. For example, if you have young children, you'll want to design a kid-friendly bathroom, staying away from raw-edge vanities, sharp edges/corners, or ultra-tech innovations that won't be utilized enough to make them work.
At the same time, things like a steam shower or a vanity that accommodates morning/evening skincare routines, makeup application, and so on will be much appreciated by children as they grow into 'tweens, teens, and young adults.
We'll walk you through how to think about your bathroom and its varying functions for the next five, ten, and fifteen years to help you isolate fixtures, features, and enhancements that align with the long-term vision for every bathroom in the house - from the primary suite, to the jack-and-jill, to the pool house.
2. Design A Vanity For Routine Comfort
Your bathroom is probably used multiple times daily, with the two most significant "sessions" involving morning and nighttime health and beauty routines. Everything you need should be close at hand, and there should be no need to stand at awkward or uncomfortable angles.
- Choose a vanity edge that's comfortable to lean on.
- If you're sensitive to the chill factor when skin meets the edge of the counter, consider electric countertop heaters for the cooler months.
- Heated flooring.
- Design a seated area with a gorgeous mirror so you can relax and take your time.
- Customize cabinets so you are never more than an easy reach away from what you need.
The more we learn about how you use the bathroom, the better we can design a vanity that keeps your routine comfortable.
3. Take Advantage of Modern Technology
Take advantage of all that modern innovations have brought to the bathroom space. This includes things like:
- Smart mirrors and waterproof screens. Some high-tech bathroom mirror options even analyze skin tone and make personalized skincare recommendations.
- High-quality sound and lighting systems for next-level ambiance.
- Heated floors, countertops (as mentioned), and towel bars/drawers.
- Voice-activated features, which are great for hygiene and more accessible aging-in-place.
- Smart showers and tubs that remember your preferred temperatures, massage jet levels/patterns, and maintain a controlled tub temperature.
- Steam sauna showers.
Working with a top-notch design/build team is the only way to know you're offered the full spectrum of amazing options for designing a bathroom remodel that includes all of the technological innovations you'd ever want.
4. Custom Lighting Designs Are Essential
A customized lighting plan is essential for any room in the home, but bathrooms are particularly sensitive. First, bathrooms don't always have the luxury of ample daytime lighting (although we'll do our best to incorporate that as we can), and all of those reflective surfaces can create harsh or agitating glares and shadows.
We'll create a custom lighting plan for your bathroom, considering every angle, surface, and reflection/refraction. The result will be a bathroom remodel with lighting that is especially designed to support your routines, mimic natural daylight as much as possible, and offer plenty of options for relaxing or romantic ambiance.
5. Always Keep The Future In Mind
We've alluded to this in some of our recommendations above, but you always want to keep the future in mind when you invest in a luxury bathroom remodel. Current trends are always worth evaluating for how they'll serve you, but thinking ahead is the only way to design a remodel you will love today, tomorrow, and for years to come.
Think about things like:
- Aging children and their needs/future wants.
- Your ability to age safely in place (or to safely accommodate aging guests).
- Whether you plan to rent/sell your home in the next five to ten years.
- Building with sustainable, durable materials.
- And so on.
Looking ahead will add that much more value (and ROI) to your initial investment.
