Bathrooms high and low

- MICHELLE LOCKE

You want a better bathroom, but don’t want to put a drain on your finances? Worry not. In this room little things mean a lot.

A very basic change is to buy a new shower curtain and good quality towels. says Ingrid Abramovitc­h, senior editor and writer at Elle Decor magazine.

Another easy change is to swap out your shower head for a multi-functional model.

A hot trend is bringing music into the bathroom The Moxie shower head from Kohler has a built-in wireless speaker that uses Bluetooth technology to sync with your music device.

Large, free-standing tubs are chic right now, says Abramovitc­h. Some people are making room for them by taking guest bedrooms and turning them into a bathroom-dressing room, with a free-standing tub surrounded by built-in closets and other accessorie­s.

And what about a hightech toilet? Take Kohler’s Numi model, which includes a motion-activated cover and seat, built-in bidet function, and charcoal-filter deodorizer and air vents at the floor.
