A Better Bathroom
In the bathroom, modern
upgrades are also a smart investment.
However, many experts actually
recommend thinking not just
about what's in vogue right now but
considering needs far into the
future.
Universal design is especially relevant
in the bathroom, where simple
adjustments can provide added
accessibility as you age, and these
updates can flow seamlessly into
the design. This means considering
a vanity with a raised counter height
and a taller toilet base, which can
add stylish enjoyment no matter
your age. Other features like a zeroentry
shower deliver high-demand
design and safety simultaneously.
Outside of accessibility-oriented
updates, upgrading your fixtures,
fresh paint and contemporary tile
can go a long way toward transforming
a bathroom. If you find your
space is still in need of a boost, a
skylight may be the answer. Natural
light can be that last touch to bring
your space from just OK to perfect,
and skylights in the bathroom allow
homeowners to maximize their natural
light without losing any privacy.
In a space like the bathroom,
where ventilation is a top concern, a
choice like Velux No Leak Solar-
Powered "Fresh Air" Skylights provide
natural light as well as fresh air
ventilation to make the environment
healthier. They help rid indoor
air of bacteria, volatile organic compounds
and carbon dioxide.

Fresh air ventilation is one way
homeowners can promote better
indoor air quality, especially in
rooms like kitchens and bathrooms
which are especially vulnerable to
poor air circulation.
