If you’ve ever been startled by the feeling of a cold bathroom floor underfoot late at night, you know that keeping the space warm is important to wintertime comfort. Unfortunately, tile and porcelain don’t respond well to the drops in temperature. Here are a few bathroom design options to stay toasty in the coming season.

How to Keep Your Bathroom Warm

1. Heated Floors & Fixtures

If cold tiles are the problem, you can install floor heating to warm up the space. While this is an extensive bathroom remodeling project, it pays off by keeping not just the ground but the whole area toasty. You’ll also find plenty of heated bathroom fixtures and appliances on the market.

2. Mats

The next best option to a heated floor is a covered one. Thick, soft bath mats provide insulation and are less prone to getting cold and uncomfortable than hard surfaces. Choose a long one to cover more of the room.

3. Steam Showers

With the right fixtures, a bathroom can be a reliable place to warm up. Install a steam shower to have a luxurious sauna experience in your home. It’s a welcome relief from the frost and also allows you to relax and rejuvenate.

4. Weatherstripping

Most indoor warmth escapes from a lack of insulation. Use weatherstripping to seal drafts around your bathroom window. You’ll notice an immediate improvement in the temperature—and if that doesn’t work, you can try insulated glass windows.

5. Heat Bulbs

To add another source of warmth to the room, replace your ordinary light fixtures with heating bulbs. The warm lighting option is relatively inexpensive and will help you set and maintain a temperature you find comfortable.
