New build in my future, but we decided not to start for another year. I have plenty of time to design a bathroom with timeless style but most importantly, is easy to clean and maintain. This applies to both the master and secondary bath.

Based on past experience I know to include:

• Integrated sinks

• Wide-set OR single hole faucets (easy to wipe between vs centerset)

• Shower pans (No more tiny tiles in the shower, bleh)

• Lots of storage in the shower, we live in a world where everyone needs their own shampoo brand apparently. (When I was a kid the whole family used Pert.)

• Streamlined toilets with less nooks and crannies to collect dust

• ADDED: Tiled walls, esp behind the toilet in a kid's bath

• ADDED: master curbless (and doorless?) walk-in shower that can fit a wheelchair/chair for futureproofness

• ADDED: corded(?) shower head for easy cleaning

• ADDED: electrical outlets inside of cabinets (or a recessed mirror) to keep toothbrushes/etc plugged in but out of site and off the counter

• ADDED: midnight lighting for middle-of-the-night bathroom trips

• ADDED: heated floors (reco brand: nuheat)

And avoid:

• Teeny-tiny tiles and tons of grout

• Real marble anything

• Vanities that only leave a tiny little gap between themselves and the floor - just enough to see that it needs to be cleaned under there but not enough room to actually get a cleaning device in the gap

• ADDED: NO MORE GLASS ENCOLSURES EVER

What else am I missing????
