My husband and I each had a non-negotiable for the renovation.
My husband wanted a deep soaking tub, and I wanted heated tile floors — something I first experienced at an Airbnb in Spain years ago and have dreamed of ever since. (I love tile, but dislike the way it normally leaves my feet freezing in winter.)
As for the tub, my husband scoured the internet and found the deepest soaking model he could that would fit in the bathroom. He also wanted something a little fancier than a shower curtain, so we opted for a sleek sliding glass door that keeps water in (unlike the trendy half-doors I’ve tried, which look great but splash everywhere). It’s also easy to clean and helps reduce mold and mildew — a win-win.
Because our bathroom is on the smaller side, the electric underfloor heating system only cost a few hundred dollars to install. It’s a much more practical heat source than the radiant ceiling system that was previously used — a setup I’d never even heard of, and for good reason (heat rises, after all). In the colder months, the warmth underfoot feels amazing, and everyone who steps into the room comments on it.
