Reasons to Add a Standalone Bidet to Your Bathroom
Remodeling your bathroom can be a good time to replace several of the fixtures in this space. At the same time, however, you should also give some thought to what additional fixtures you can add to improve the functionality and look of the bathroom.
If the bathroom that you'll be remodeling is on the spacious side, then one option that may be a good addition is a standalone bidet. Present in the bathrooms of many high-end hotels, standalone bidets can also work well in residential applications. Instead of buying a do-it-yourself bidet kit that attaches to your existing toilet and may look cheap, you can hire a remodeling contractor to install a proper standalone bidet for you — which is more of a permanent addition than other plastic options. Standalone bidets can mount to the wall or floor while other bidets attach directly to the toilet, so give some thought to what look would best suit the space.
Here are some reasons to add a bidet during your bathroom remodel.
Personal Cleanliness
The primary benefit that a bidet adds to your bathroom is offering you and your family members a higher degree of personal cleanliness. In addition, those who have mobility issues may especially appreciate how easy it is to use a bidet.
Stylish Appearance
A lot of people view bidets as something that expensive and exotic. For example, in addition to finding bidets in luxury hotel bathrooms, you'll likely have also seen these fixtures in high-end restaurants if you've traveled overseas. The idea of adding a bidet to your bathroom can help to give this space a stylish appearance. While many people put bidets in their master bathrooms, another option is in a bathroom that your guests use. You might take pride in providing a luxurious space for your dinner and overnight guests, thanks in part to the addition of a bidet.
Less Open Space
While spaciousness in a bathroom can often be a good thing, it's also true that some bathrooms can feel a little too roomy. If you have a large section of open wall next to the toilet that you've always found to look sparse, you might want to fix this issue during the remodeling process by adding a standalone bidet against the wall. This can help the room feel more cozy and welcoming.
