Findings from a survey of 2,127 U.S. homeowners on Houzz about their recent or planned bathroom projects

September 12, 2017
High-tech masters: One in five new toilets and one in 10 new showers in renovated master bathrooms are equipped with at least one high-tech feature.
Time for tech: Nearly two-thirds of respondents spend 30-60 minutes a day in their home bathrooms. This includes spending time on their mobile devices—more than half of renovating homeowners use their mobile devices in their bathrooms at least once a week, from checking email and social media to listening to music and reading.
Reaching the breaking point: Many homeowners are done with their dated, aging bathrooms—no longer being able to stand the old one is the top trigger for starting a bathroom renovation (46%). Nearly a third are also tackling a bathroom that is breaking down (29%). Small size and outdated finishes are the most cited old-bathroom gripes.
Room for two: The vast majority of master bathrooms are shared by two people; given this, homeowners are creating spacious master bathrooms that easily accommodate two, including private nooks for showers (47%), toilets (46%), vanity/make-up areas (27%), bathtubs (19%), and double sinks (57%).
Professional hiring on the rise: More homeowners enlisted or will enlist the help of a professional during their 2015-2016 bathroom projects (90%) relative to 2014-2015 projects (78%).
