The study includes responses from more than 1,300 registered users of Houzz who had completed a master bathroom remodel in the past 12 months, were working on one or were planning to start one in the next three months.
Customized Vanities Are a Popular Choice
Vanities are one of the more popular items to upgrade as part of a master bathroom remodel (77%), and the majority of homeowners who upgrade this feature choose a custom (33%) or semicustom (25%) option.
Customizing the vanity makes a lot of sense given that the most popular vanity style is built in (58%) to fit the space. Built-in vanities are about twice as popular as freestanding ones (30%). More than 1 in 10 (11%) upgraded vanities have a floating mount style.
In terms of vanity door style, Shaker is most popular (47%) for upgraded master bathroom vanities, raised-panel is second (25%) and flat-panel is third (23%).
