Hot tubs and spas have become luxury items desired by many homeowners. They are in hotels and resorts all across the globe. People use them to enjoy time with friends or to spend time relaxing after a long day.

Bathroom decor in 2023 revolves around combining comfort, fashion and function with a distinctive style. Homeowners continue to prefer minimalist style bathrooms, but they are also looking to add some character and personality. Let’s take a look at some of the best bathroom decorating ideas for 2023. 

Home spa remodeling ideas are trending this year, as many homeowners choose to create their own private spa rather than going away to hotels or spa resorts for leisure and treatments. So let’s take a closer look at these bathroom remodeling ideas and trends for this year.

Choosing sink designs sounds easy enough when you start the remodeling process, but you'll soon realize there are a variety of choices available. Finding one that is the right style for your home is key since you'll be using it every day, but balancing style and budget may take some finesse. Two of the most popular options available today are vessel sinks and undermount sinks. They are vastly different, but both are suitable for homes, so let's look to see which may be right for your next remodel. 

Your bathroom sink is more than just a functional sink — it's a main focal point in your bathroom. It helps proportion the room and bring it together in harmony, completing the look and feel of your design. The way you display it can make or break your room.

No matter your situation, whether replacing an old sink or installing a new one, it’s fair to say that the day will come when you will need to measure a sink and fit it in a bathroom, whether independently or within a vanity.

Getting things right can be a real struggle if you're unfamiliar with something, especially if it’s your first time. The same applies to the installation of sinks. When renovating your bathroom, knowing how to install or replace a bathroom sink can also be the difference in making huge savings, as well as just the exhilarating and satisfying feeling of having a new skill.

When remodeling your bathroom, a critical decision to make is what type of sink suits your needs best. Bathrooms and everything in them are used multiple times daily, and an integral part of that is sinks - a defining piece of all bathrooms. The sink’s looks and how it synthesizes with its environment are especially crucial here. It is equally vital that the sink also fits its more applicable and known uses.

Home renovation projects are on the rise. Fast Company reports that the money spent on home renovation has grown by 15% in the past year, as many property owners remodel their kitchens, outdoor spaces, and home offices.

Outdoor showers are the perfect place to rinse off and refresh yourself after a day of gardening, sports or swimming in the sea or pool. Rinsing off outside is much more hygienic, as you won't drag dirt and sand around your home.

Designed for the elderly and people with restricted mobility, walk-in bathtubs provide a safe, comfortable and independent bathing experience. Walk-in bathtubs feature a special water-tight door, a low entry step and grab bars to provide easy accessibility and support.

Accidents in the bathroom are a common problem, especially among individuals over 65. Regular bathtubs lack support such as grab bars, and the tub’s wall height makes it difficult to enter and exit.

Shopping online saves a lot of time and energy. Browsing an online store from your couch is much more comfortable and convenient, allowing you to choose your favorite products in a peaceful environment without any rush or time constraints.

Bathroom spas are trending in 2022, as homeowners search for ways to improve their mental and physical health without the hassle of leaving their home. Before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, getting out of the house and going away on spa retreats was a popular way of relieving stress.

Inground hot tubs, also known as built-in spas can be found in the backyards of the rich and famous. Exemplifying ultimate luxury, outdoor inground spas really add the wow-factor, enhancing a property’s aesthetics and value.

Online shopping during COVID-19 lockdowns made us realize how easy and comfortable it is to shop from your couch.

Almost everyone has experienced the isolating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2020, we saw many countries around the world announce lock-downs, due to the COVID outbreak.

In 2022, we continue to see an increasing demand for walk-in bathtubs. Accidents in the bathroom are a common issue especially among people over 65, and individuals with mobility-related problems, or serious illnesses. Walk-in tubs are the safest bathing option, providing easy accessibility and independence for bathers of all ages and mobility capabilities.

Bathroom color trends in 2022 focus on neutral, timeless and nature-inspired colors with organic hues, as homeowners transform their bathrooms into peaceful and relaxing spa-like spaces. Natural designs that are clean, sleek and not intense or overwhelming will continue to be popular. 2022 bathroom colors will revolve around natural colors deriving from stone and wood, and we will continue to see interior designers combine these two.

While realizing the design potential associated with solid surface bathtubs, many architects and designers are starting to realize that not all solid surface tubs (aka stone resin tubs) are made equal. They recognize the high quality and infinite customization possibilities provided by Aquatica with its AquateX™ and NeroX™ range of solid surface tubs and sinks. They notice that some of the technical and design characteristics of AquateX™ and NeroX™ range of freestanding tubs are by far superior to shoddy outsourced imports. The Aquatica website offers customization tools for designers, which help make concepts into reality.

Concrete as a material provides character, roughness, and warm-toned modern aesthetics in various shades of grey. Concrete is the top design trend today, emphasizing nature and human reconnection to the natural world where texture and comfort are all essential elements, which is why concrete surfaces are becoming ever more important in modern architecture and design.

Aquatica has been manufacturing bathtubs and sinks using solid surface technology (AquateX™) for many years now. Even though AquateX™ is an incredible material to work with there are instances when the bathtub can, unfortunately, get damaged. In the large majority of cases that we have dealt with, the damage occurs during the moving process within the job site or during the installation phase. We understand that this can be extremely frustrating for the homeowner.

Designer bathrooms not only make your bathroom perfect in look and style but also increase your spa experience.

Unlike most markets, in the US and Canada, electrical systems in homes have been standardized at 110V, with the exception of kitchen stoves and washer dryers. Unfortunately, 110V power has its limits, namely the installation of sophisticated hydromassage systems, as these require a considerable amount of power, which is simply unavailable due to the limited wire size and considerable AMP draw that would be required. This is how we plan to migrate our Hydromassage systems to 220V Hydromassage Systems.

The invention of the bathtub and the invention of actual plumbing services date back quite a number of years ago, but are however very different from one another! The earliest discovered plumbing systems date back to nearly 6000 years ago near the Indus River Valley in India where archaeologists actually discovered copper water pipes in the excavation of the ruins of a palace in the vicinity. However, if we fast forward 3000 years ahead, this is about the time that the first ‘ancestral’ pedestal tub was unearthed on the island of Crete, it measured at five feet long, was made of hard pottery, and its shape resembled our modern 19th-century claw foot tub.

In today's’ day and age, everything seems to be moving in the fast lane!

Bathroom and shower lighting will generally get less attention in comparison with the lighting in the rest of your house. However, we would recommend not making this mistake, because, truly, the simplest of lighting (even in color) can add such sparkle and enjoyment into one's daily routine.
