A luxury bathroom can be the ultimate escape from daily stressors. Equipping your bathroom with the latest in innovative technology can enhance this experience even more. Incorporating the latest in smart home technology can add comfort, efficiency and enjoyment to your bathroom. Read on to find out what tech trends you can incorporate into your bathroom so you can turn your bathroom into your own oasis.
Toilet Technology
As the most utilitarian element of a bathroom design, it can be easy to overlook any upgrades to your water closet. However, there are many luxury toilet features you may be missing. For example, smart toilets come with built-in seat warmers and touchless toilets have the technology to let you open and close the toilet lid by waving your hand. Smart toilets also come with antimicrobial seats and have self-clearing and self-deodorizing technology.
Vanity Technology
Imagine getting out of the shower, opening a drawer and wrapping yourself in a cozy, toasty towel. A towel or robe warming drawer can be built into a bathroom vanity and have the same appearance as a standard cabinet drawer.
Vanity technology doesn’t stop there. Digital faucets can be completely automated and programmable, and you can turn the water on and off with a wave of your hand. Smart faucets also come equipped with programmable features, allowing you to program how long the water runs. A smart faucet is particularly beneficial in children’s bathrooms, encouraging them to brush their teeth for the correct amount of time.
As you brush your teeth in the morning, a smart mirror can fill you in on the weather forecast and how your commute will look.
If you are a product devotee, installing an under vanity refrigerator will save you a trip downstairs while keeping your facial products chilled, along with any medicines or freshly pressed juices for the morning.
Shower Technology
Suppose you’ve ever had to wait, seemingly forever, for the shower water temperature to heat up. In that case, you understand what a luxury it is to enter the shower when the water is already at the perfect temperature. Smart showers can remember your ideal temperature, so you don’t need to linger around waiting for the water to be just right. If you’re cautious about your water consumption, smart showers will also let you pause the water and set a timer for your desired shower length.
Entertainment Technology
A luxury bathroom isn’t complete without entertainment options to help you pass the time. If soaking baths are part of your nighttime ritual, a waterproof TV will allow you to catch up on your favorite shows without the risk of getting any devices wet.
Waterproof speakers can also let you enjoy your favorite morning podcast or play soothing spa music as you wind down with your evening routine.
Ambiance Technology
Adding small comforts to increase your bathroom’s ambiance will take a beautifully designed bathroom to a true, luxury bathroom. For example, regardless of your climate, heated bathroom floors are an asset to any bathroom. After your first step out of the shower onto a warm bathroom floor, you’ll wonder why you didn’t install them sooner.
Voice-activated bathroom lighting can solve minor inconveniences like stubbing your toe in a dark bathroom at night or changing the bathroom lighting to help you match your makeup to the appropriate level of light.
While a luxury bathroom typically brings to mind marble showers, oversized soaker tubs and steam showers, adding technology elements to the space takes it to the next level.
