Bathroom Remodel by Landis Construction featuring a Spa inspired Contemporary Design
This Washington, D.C. bathroom remodel by Landis Construction, features the sleek, clean lines of contemporary design. The luxuriant finishes and spa-inspired features used in this bathroom mirror the results of our bathroom survey.

High-end bathroom remodeling has gained strength in the home improvement market.

Qualified Remodeler cites a recent AIA (American Institute of Architects) survey as indicating "a 32 percent increase in bathroom design activity vs. the same quarter one year prior."

What accounts for this strength?

What are consumers looking to achieve in a bathroom remodel?  What are the most popular features, trends and finishes?
Go directly to survey results.

Renovation Experts surveyed some of the thousands of homeowners that use our site everyday in order to connect with remodeling contractors and asked them about the decisions they made in their bathroom make-overs. Renovation Experts teamed up with Qualified Remodeler and Cygnus Business Media for this survey.

So, what does the survey, in which more than 600 respondents took part, reveal? 

Homeowners have acquired a taste for spa-like bathrooms abounding in luxury. Topping their list were features like his-and-her sinks. The bathroom remodel featured in these pictures reflect what is popular with homeowners today.

This $50,000 bathroom project, done by Landis Construction, was entered in Qualified Remodeler's Master Design Awards in 2005. The bathroom showcases the above mentioned consumer must-have - a double-bowl vanity, which is encased in a tiled, green semi-circle.

Lighting was one of the most specified bathroom features that homeowners wanted to include in their remodels. This bathroom well illustrates the critical use of spot, accent and ambient lighting.
This separate shower stall captures many of the consumer must-haves like multiple showerheads, including the rain-shower feature. Glass doors and block are also part of the clean, contemporary feel that homeowners are seeking.
This Landis bathroom project introduces an original tile design that imitates water as it flows around the room, defining separate features of the bath. The effect is soothing and reminiscent of a spa.

One of the more interesting results from the survey was the things that people wished they had have included in their bathroom renovation. The top feature that consumers regret not installing was a heated floor. The results of the survey also go on to show consumers' style preferences.
