Bathroom renovations remain one of the most popular home upgrades for homeowners in Elora, Fergus, Guelph, Elmira, Kitchener, and Waterloo. And the reason is simple: it's a space you use every single day. Whether you're moving into a new home that needs updates, or upgrading your current space for comfort and function, a bathroom remodel is one of the best investments you can make.
Trends We're Seeing in Bathroom Renovations
At LUMA Build Design, we’re seeing strong demand for ensuite renovations. Often, our clients are at a stage where their kids have left home—or moved back in—and they want a space that truly suits their lifestyle. The ensuite becomes a personal retreat.
Here are some of the top trends we’re incorporating:
Heated Floors Bathroom Floors
Radiant in-floor heating is no longer a luxury—it's becoming the norm for comfort.
Acrylic Shower Bases & Panels: Clients are done scrubbing grout lines. We're seeing a major shift away from tiled shower bases to low-maintenance, full-sheet acrylic panels and shower bases.
Glass Over Curtains: Frameless glass shower enclosures are a must for that clean, modern look.
Simple, Flowing Designs: Clean tiles, streamlined vanities, and minimal clutter create a peaceful, spa-like atmosphere.
While we love simplicity, we also enjoy working with clients who want to inject bold colour or personality into their space—often through accent walls, art, or sculptural elements.
Case Study: Ensuite Renovation in Fergus, Ontario
We recently completed an ensuite renovation in Fergus for a couple looking to completely transform their space. Their existing layout had great potential with 350 sq. ft. to work with.
The finished ensuite included:
Radiant in-floor heating
Custom walk-in shower
Freestanding bathtub
Custom built-in cabinetry
A brand-new walk-in closet off the ensuite for seamless morning routines
Their main issue was space and flow. We addressed both by reworking the layout and integrating the closet, creating a highly functional and beautiful retreat. The result? A luxurious, personalized ensuite they enjoy every day.
Our Design Philosophy
We believe in keeping the foundation simple and adding character through intentional details. We typically use:
Ample vanities with clean quartz countertops (double sinks are standard in ensuites)
Innovative storage solutions, like built-in shelving, shower bench storage, and toilet closets
A wide range of styles, working closely with each client to create something that fits their taste and needs
Advice from the Experts
The biggest mistake we see homeowners make? Not going all in.
It may sound like a sales pitch, but it’s not. We’ve had many clients tell us after the fact: “We wish we had added the heated floors,” or “We should have gone with the larger vanity.” A bathroom reno is a long-term investment in both your comfort and your home’s resale value.
