The Nuheat® SIGNATURE thermostat is the ultimate in simplifying your heating needs, because it is the first thermostat for subfloor heating that is Wi-Fi enabled and can be controlled using a web browser as well as Apple® and Andriod™ devices. Program it so the bathroom will be warm when you bathe, or just turn it on through the app when the need arises. The SIGNATURE thermostat is compatible with every electric floor heating system and will make your bathroom more comfortable than you've ever known.

Good lighting in the bathroom is essential. Not only does it help to accent and enhance the rest of your design, but lighting is also extremely practical as it helps you to look your best as you get ready for the day—and it's especially helpful on the sides of the mirror rather than over it! The George Kovacs Nickel Wall Sconces from LAMPS PLUS® are perfect for use in the bathroom due to their chic, modern design and beautiful glow. Place one on either side of a mirror to create your own personal task lighting. The slim profile is ADA compliant and perfect for use in any space, and that's great news for bathrooms that tend to be tight and in greater need of elegant illumination options.

10. Distinctive Minimalistic Fixtures

Carefully designed with minimalism in mind, the new Rizon™ Bathroom Collection was introduced by Moen® early this year. Clean, horizontal lines and slightly rounded angles are the hallmark of this collection, and the reflective chrome finish will complement any bathroom style. Every faucet meets WaterSense® criteria with a flow rate of 1.5 gpm, and the showerheads come in your choice of standard or efficient flow rate. The roman tub faucet and hand shower are simply designed and suitable for even smaller baths. Best of all, the two lever handles make it easy to find the perfect temperature, and the entire package meets ADA specifications to make it the perfect bath for every member of the family.

There is only one medium that can be stylishly applied to every surface of your bathroom—tile! Tile can be used on floors, walls, backsplashes, etc. to achieve any number of design objectives, from cool and traditional to bold and modern. A great tile design sets your bathroom apart from all others and gives you the chance to truly customize the space. We especially love the highly varied selection of colors, sizes, and shapes available from Fireclay Tile. Handmade in California using eco-friendly practices, these heirloom quality tiles will refresh your old opinion of tiled bathrooms and make you see the virtually limitless possibilities. With numerous kinds of clay and glass tiles as well as those found in their handpainted collections, you're sure to be inspired by Fireclay Tile's products.
