You love the amenities of a high end hotel bathroom so now it is tie to bring that feeling home and upgrade your old bathroom with some neat new gadgets. You thought that these were unavailable to the average consumer, but the increased interest has changed that. From hand dryers to faucets, the future is yesterday.

In a public bathroom we are reluctant to touch anything for fear of contaminating ourselves with the nasty leavings of other people. Well you are just as gross as everyone else so it's time to think about installing faucets that you don't have to touch to activate. If you touch the handle before you wash your hands and then touch it again afterward, you are inviting germs back onto your hands. Infrared activation is nothing new in this area, but not something you see in many homes.

A place where you are starting to see more infrared activation is hot air hand dryers. Up until recently, these were very inefficient and basically just made your hands warm along with being wet. Now we have stepped up the game though with hand dryers that utilize two sheets of air to scrape the water off your hands and are completely touch free. If you install one of these future machines into your bathroom you won't have any issue teaching your kids to wash their hands. They'll love it. Plus, you'll save on paper towel costs and you will never have to wash a hand towel again.

These are just two ideas for upgrading your bathroom. There are tons more ideas out there. You just need to know what to look for. These are the two most readily available and the most useful. You can get LED lighted shower heads that have touch screens built into them... but that's just silly.
