LONG BEACH REAL ESTATE
Long Beach Homeowners want more space in their kitchens and bathrooms. Bathroom remodels are reflecting many of the same design trends and choices as kitchens.
Long Beach Homeowners want their bathrooms opened up. They want more space, more light and room for more than one person to be comfortable in the room at the same time. Adding windows and skylights, or enlarging existing windows brings light into the room, cheering it up and creating the illusion of more space. Using lots of glass and glass block helps achieve this goal.
We all know that the choice to live in a beach close, Long Beach Home generally means higher prices and less square footage. How can we create more viable living space when we only have just so much in the way of usable square footage?
Adjoining closets are being eliminated and used to increase bathroom square footage while closets and storage space are reconfigured in other areas of the home. At a loss for space but want to open up your bathroom? Consider opening up the ceiling, utilize that wasted attic space and add cubic square footage. Sometimes this is enough to remove the oppresive feeling and open up the room.
The Master Bath is the homeowners retreat, they want a little luxury here. Homeowners are insisting on most of these items:
- Heated floors
- Towel Warmers
- Multiple shower heads
- Mounted Flat Screen TV's
- Recessed Lighting
- Dual sinks
- Soaring ceilings
- Decorative Fixtures
Consumers are leaning toward nickel and antique bronze fixtures, chrome is still popular but is waning. Brass is so out!
Eco friendly, green remodeling is playing a role in bathroom remodels with an increase in interest in renewable materials and water conservation. Dual-flush toilets and other technologies have become very popular. In Japan over 70% of all homes now have Toto heated bidet toilet seats. These seats come complete with remote control and have a rather hefty price tag.

Curt, You left the comment on the kitchen remodel post, I just put 2 up, lol. Yes, you have been missed!
Nice looking bathrooms.
We're seeing a lot of the same trends here... especially the glass, glass block, and variations of rich tile.
James, I agree, great examples of what can be done.
Sandi, Bathrooms are important, they help sell the home, I love all of the materials, when they are all brought together it's like magic.
Laurie, although your photos show it, you might also mention the difference it makes to replace frosted glass with clear glass.
I like your repeated and natural use of Long Beach Homes throughout your article.
Sharon, I think you just did, great advice, thank you. Reference to Long Beach Homes keeps it local, which is where my business is, thank you so much.
