Primary Bath Remodel Trends: Creating Your Personal Spa Retreat
Summer in Asheville brings longer days and outdoor adventures, making your primary bathroom the perfect place to unwind. At HomeSource Design Center, we're seeing a growing trend among Asheville homeowners: transforming primary bathrooms into luxurious spa-like retreats.
The Freestanding Tub Trend in Primary Bath Remodels
One of the most requested features in recent primary bathroom renovations is the addition of freestanding tubs. These elegant focal points create an immediate spa-like atmosphere while offering the ultimate in relaxation. Unlike built-in tubs, freestanding models become sculptural elements that elevate your entire bathroom design.
Our Asheville clients choose freestanding tubs not just for their visual appeal, but for the luxurious soaking experience they provide after long, adventurous days.
Essential Elements for Spa-Inspired Bathroom Design
Flooring That Creates Tranquility
The foundation of any spa-like bathroom begins with the right bathroom flooring. Natural stone options like travertine or slate create an organic feel that connects your space to Asheville's landscape. Large-format porcelain tiles that mimic natural stone provide the same visual impact with enhanced durability and easier maintenance.
We recommend warm, neutral tones that create a calming atmosphere, with textured finishes for slip resistance around wet areas.
Tile Selection for Shower Walls
Your shower walls offer opportunities to introduce texture and visual depth. Natural stone tiles, such as the River Marble featured in our recent projects, bring organic beauty and sophistication. High-quality ceramic and porcelain shower tiles that replicate natural materials offer consistency while maintaining that spa aesthetic.
Custom Bathroom Cabinets for Organization
Spa-inspired bathrooms benefit from custom bathroom cabinetry with clean, simple lines. Floating vanities create an airy feel, especially important in mountain homes. Popular color choices include:
Soft sage greens
Warm grays
Creamy whites
Natural wood tones
Custom storage solutions with deep drawers and pull-out organizers keep toiletries organized, maintaining that peaceful, uncluttered spa feeling.
Bathroom Countertops: Beauty Meets Function
Quartz countertops remain a favorite for spa bathrooms due to their durability and low maintenance. The subtle veining patterns in today's quartz options provide visual interest without overwhelming the space.
For clients preferring natural materials, marble bathroom countertops offer unparalleled luxury, though they require slightly more maintenance.
Cabinet Hardware: The Finishing Touch
Bathroom cabinet hardware significantly impacts your spa retreat's overall feel. Popular choices include:
Brushed metals for warmth
Matte black finishes for contemporary sophistication
Natural material pulls for organic appeal
Design Tips for Mountain Home Bathrooms
Maximizing Natural Light
Asheville mountain homes offer unique opportunities to incorporate natural light and mountain views. Strategic window placement can frame vistas while maintaining privacy. Consider how your material choices interact with changing natural light throughout the day.
Creating Cohesive Design
The best spa-like bathrooms reflect their owners' personalities. Some prefer minimalist designs with clean lines, while others gravitate toward textured, organic approaches celebrating natural materials.
