Spend 3X Higher for “Major” Renovations: The median spend for bathroom projects was $8,000. Those doing a major bathroom renovation, which includes a shower upgrade, spent three times more on their renovation than those undertaking a minor renovation ($15,000 versus $5,000, respectively). The median spend for a major remodel of both small and large bathrooms increased by 20% and 6%, respectively, from the previous year.
Homeowners Seek Spa Feel: Two in 5 homeowners report using their renovated bathroom for rest and relaxation (41%). Top features that help with relaxation include cleanliness, a lack of clutter, dimmable lighting and greenery (68%, 63%, 38% and 19%, respectively). In fact, nearly one-third of homeowners add greenery to their bathroom while renovating (32%), because they find that plants are aesthetically pleasing, create a calming environment and purify the air (88%, 64% and 34%, respectively).
Premium features in the Bathroom: More than three-quarters of homeowners incorporate premium features into their bathtubs and showers (79% and 74%, respectively). Top premium features for the bath include soaking tubs, space for two and silent whirlpool baths (68%, 19% and 9%, respectively), while premium shower upgrades include rainfall shower heads, dual showers, body sprayers and thermostatic mixers (55%, 23%, 16% and 13%, respectively).
Demand for General Contractors Jumps: Homeowners increasingly turned to professionals for help with projects this year (84%, up from 82% in 2020). Significantly more homeowners hired a general contractor this year than last year (49% versus 43%). Hiring also increased for bathroom remodelers, bathroom designers and interior designers (22%, 14% and 11%, respectively, in 2021, versus 20%, 12% and 9% percent, respectively, in 2020).
