 3 elements to create a dream bathroom sanctuary  
 Bathrooms reign supreme, overtaking  
 kitchens as the most popular remodeling  
 project, according to a new survey by the  
 National Association of Home Builders.  
 In the study, remodelers reported on the  
 most  common  projects  in  2017  and  81  
 percent  performed  bathroom  remodeling. 
 Whether you’re hiring the project out  
 or  taking  the  DIY  route,  fashioning  the  
 bathroom  of  your  dreams  can  enhance  
 your  home’s  value  and  add  enjoyment  
 to your daily routine. A leading trend in  
 bathroom design is to create a space that  
 is not only functional but is a true sanctuary. 
  To craft  a spa-like bath setting that  
 you’ll  love  for  years  to  come,  consider  
 these elements. 
 1. Sinks and vanities 
 Clutter  causes  chaos  that  can  add  
 to  daily  stress.  To  establish  a  peaceful  
 retreat  without  the  disorder  that  commonly  
 overtakes bathrooms, it’s important  
 to  keep  organization  in  mind  when  
 selecting a sink and vanity combination.  
 Th  e key is to fi nd a balance between style  
 and functionality. 
 Consider  the  DXV  Modulus  collection, 
   which  creates  simple  yet  dramatic  
 spaces with a selection of trending materials  
 and  fi nishes  for  optimum  style.  Its  
 modular concept, highlighted with minimalistic  
 bathroom sinks and coordinating  
 vanities,  allows  for  maximum  fl exibility  
 in  installation  and  organization.  
 It  brings  high  design  to  any  project,  
 including  master  bathrooms  and  powder  
 rooms, where space may be at a premium. 
 2. Freestanding tubs 
 When you select the right tub for your  
 new bathroom, you’re giving yourself a  
 way to unwind every day, as well as provide  
 a stunning focal point to anchor  
 the space. Deep soak freestanding tubs  
 are a top trend for the ultimate in bathing  
 relaxation. Immersing yourself in the  
 warm water of a soaking tub can help  
 ease  muscle  tension,  making  you  feel  
 like you’re at the spa while bathing in the  
 comfort of your own home. 
 Soothing,  romantic  and  indulgent,  
 DXV soaking tubs create the perfect personal  
 sanctuary. Th  is must-have showstopper  
 adds style, repose and a touch of  
 luxury that elevates any bathroom setting. 
 3. Shower systems 
 Forget  boring  single  showerheads.  
 Today’s  complete  shower  systems  go  
 beyond the basic clean to provide a comprehensive  
 bathing experience. Design the  
 space to fi t your preferences with diff erent  
 sprays and various angles for massage,  
 invigoration or total relaxation. You can  
 adjust the fl ow and temperature to your  
 liking. It’s customization on demand. 
 To further enhance the shower experience, 
  add in spa-like elements, like your  
 choice of adjustable lighting and music  
 to match your mood. Go ahead and close  
 your eyes, feel the water, and escape while  
 getting lost in your favorite tunes. 
 With  the  right  elements  and  wellthought 
 out design, you can craft   your  
 own  personal  oasis.  Adding  to  your  
 home’s value while relishing in its pleasure  
 - now that’s a dream come true.
