“An ELECTRIC MIRROR BACK-LIT MIRROR. It has very soft lighting, the sizing can be customizable, and it is great for shaving and putting on makeup.” — Colleen Johnson of In-Site Design Group

“I love INVISIA GRAB BARS. They have a grab bar that is also a toilet paper holder and a grab-bar ring that can be mounted around the shower controls. I like them because they don’t look like grab bars, and they are designed for areas where we need the most assistance.” — Jan Neiges, certified kitchen designer

“A BATH-TUB CADDY, such as the ones found at Anthropologie. It enables you to enjoy a bath in a free-standing tub, while sipping a glass of wine or a steaming cup of tea, with the glow of soft candles and a favorite book. Ideal for unwinding after a busy day.” — Jennifer DesJardin of Motif Design Solutions

“The AMBA JEEVES TOWEL WARMER. There is nothing like getting out of the shower in the cold Colorado winter and being enveloped in a warmed towel!” — Kristen Randall of The Kitchen Showcase

Having the faucet on the wall makes it so easy to clean your countertops and keep your space looking fresh, while still being stylish.” — Mechelle Sherrard of Cabinetry by Cales

A must for all master bathrooms!” — Mindy Knaster of Mindy Knaster Interior Design

“Proper lighting for the face is very important. Sconces to each side of the mirror or LEDs integrated into the bathroom mirror are essential in any bathroom. I like the KOHLER VERDERA lighted medicine cabinet line, because it can be installed flush into the wall and it provides additional storage with a pull-out magnifying mirror.” — Ute Vandenberghe of Proud House Studio & Co.

“A SAMSUNG VANITY MIRROR TV, which hides an ultrathin Samsung television behind a large mirror. When turned on, the TV seems to magically appear through the glass, and when turned off, it vanishes completely. The mirrors are made to the size you specify to fit your bathroom perfectly.” — Kristina Garcia-Stack of Denver Design Group

“I have two killer options: First, a TOTO NEOREST NX2—it’s the most sleek and organic design, but it’s loaded with exceptional functionality and technology, such as an ultraviolet-light cleaning kit, a night light, a heated seat and even a warm air-dryer function. Second is the DORNBRACHT HORIZONTAL SHOWER—it’s unlike any sensation you’ll experience. You lie horizontally in the shower, while a water choreography takes you away to a world of relaxation and wellness.” — Kevin Castelo of Ultra Design Center

“The ENCOMPASS SHOWER BASE, which allows for a curbless shower. I’m focusing all my current work on safety for seniors, and this is one of the most important aspects of them staying in their homes.” — Barbara Barton of Barbara Barton & Associates

“The ONE-PIECE TOILET BIDET. It’s totally luxurious and better for the environment—enjoyed by all.” — Thomas Birkeness of Birkeness Fine Woodworking

“ROBERN RECESSED MEDICINE CABINETS. You can add your own framing to customize, and they provide essential storage space. Mine holds everything I use in the morning and at night.” — Jeane Dole of à la carte Design

“TOWEL WARMERS—both as warming drawers (which keep several towels toasty at once; DACOR has three sizes) and as wall-mounted racks (I like the AMBA brand). There are so many shapes and sizes—they get more flexible all the time. They work great for bathrobes as well!” — Joyce Clegg of Dream Homes Inc.

“The KOHLER STARGAZE FREESTANDING HEATED BUBBLEMASSAGE BATHTUB. When a customer wants to redo their master bathroom into their own personal spa, they must have a heated bubble-massage tub!” — Trip Butler of Design First Kitchen & Bath

“The grooming-drawer pull-out from REV-A-SHELF that you can install in WELLBORN cabinets. It makes grooming quick and easy, and you can put your curling irons and straighteners away as soon as you are done, without burning or melting the cabinets. Quick, easy and convenient!” — Steve Christie at Christie’s Design Build Remodeling
