Jersey Shore Bathroom Remodeling Guide

When it comes to interior remodeling, the bathroom is one of the most impactful spaces to update. A well-designed bathroom can enhance both the comfort and value of your home. Whether you’re looking to embrace modern trends or add practical upgrades, these ideas will help you create the perfect space for your Jersey Shore home.

1. Big Open Shower Rooms

Say goodbye to cramped shower spaces! Large, open-concept showers are a top trend in bathroom remodeling, offering a sleek and spacious feel. Frameless glass doors or even doorless entries make these designs both modern and functional. We go the extra mile by crafting custom glass panels to ensure the perfect balance of style and practicality for your shower. For a sleek and seamless look, consider curbless showers, which provide easy access and a modern aesthetic.

To keep your shower organized and clutter-free, we recommend adding built-in niches for storing shampoos and other essentials—no more placing bottles on the floor in your beautifully designed shower! For added comfort, custom bench seating can be incorporated, creating a functional and luxurious space.

2. Waterproofing Systems: A Must-Have for Longevity

Effective waterproofing is essential to prevent costly water damage and ensure the longevity of your bathroom. At KBR Builders, we use:

• Fiber Glass Waterproofing Systems for their unmatched durability and leak protection.

• Schluter® Systems, which provide a reliable barrier against moisture while allowing for creative tile designs.

Both systems ensure your shower is protected for years to come, even in the humid Jersey Shore environment.

3. Tile Choices: Large vs. Small

Tile selection plays a crucial role in the functionality and aesthetics of your bathroom. Here’s what we recommend:

• Large Tiles for Walls: Easier to clean, these tiles create a sleek, modern look and reduce grout lines.

• Smaller Tiles for Shower Floors: These provide better grip, making your shower safer while adding a classic touch to the design.

Choosing the right tile combination can enhance both the appearance and practicality of your bathroom.

4. Custom Vanities with Built-In Convenience

Your vanity should combine elegance and practicality. Instead of settling for pre-made options, consider custom-built vanities that meet your unique needs. At KBR Builders, we can:

• Create custom vanities with built-in outlets inside drawers or cabinets, keeping countertops clear of cords and devices.

• Modify store-bought vanities to add custom features, such as additional storage or electrical outlets, depending on the design.

These personalized touches ensure your vanity complements both your style and daily routine.

5. Tile Walls for a Timeless Look

Adding tile halfway up your bathroom walls is a timeless design choice that combines elegance with practicality. This approach protects walls from moisture and adds texture to the space. Options include:

• Classic Subway Tiles for a clean, traditional look.

• Textured or Patterned Tiles for a bold, modern aesthetic.

Pairing tiled walls with painted or wallpapered upper sections creates a striking visual contrast while enhancing durability.

6. Heated Flooring for Ultimate Comfort

Imagine stepping onto warm floors on a chilly Jersey Shore morning. Heated flooring adds a luxurious touch to your bathroom while improving energy efficiency. Compatible with a variety of flooring materials, this upgrade enhances comfort and functionality year-round.
