Tub or Not?

June 15, 2022

A few years ago, showers with opulent features like body sprays and chromatherapy were rapidly replacing bathtubs in bathrooms, which were being eliminated at a significant rate. Today, however, the trend has changed, and homeowners upgrading bathrooms, especially decked-out masters, have a strong preference for statement soaking tubs.

Soaking Tub Trends:


  • A range of solid surface materials specific to their manufacturers are enhancing the ability to create specialized shapes for a truly eye-catching design.

  • Natural materials, such as copper and stone, as well as other materials, are naturally designed to hold heat longer, allowing the bather to experience a long, hot soak.

  • The interest in adding color to spaces has definitely taken hold in the bath, with tub exteriors being offered in a range of dramatic shades to deliver a customized two-tone look.

  • In addition to unconventional shapes, today’s tubs feature added aesthetic touches, including a range of leg designs, decorative surfaces and extended ledges.

  • New materials are allowing for a new surface appearance, with matte looks and textures that appeal to the modern aesthetic and are soft to the touch.

  • Many soaking tubs are also offered with spa and wellness features, such as air-infused bubbles, interior arm rests, chromatherapy and aromatherapy.

We are surrounded by stimuli all the time in our world. In today's always connected digital environment, it can be debilitating. It really should come as no surprise that we feel more at ease when we encounter anything in our day-to-day lives that is orderly, balanced, or tidy. When we can move around easily, find what we need logically, and don't have to worry about looking for it, we feel happier. We can all live better when we are organized, and Hardware Resources organizers just make life better. Continue reading to learn about some of the creative ways Hardware Resources is bringing harmony to the disarray of contemporary life. Let’s Organize Drinks The kinds of organizational solutions that people require for their houses are directly influenced by lifestyle trends. Single-use beverage containers have been under increasing pressure from customers in recent years. The unusual sizes, forms, and attachments (straws and lids) of reusable drink containers, such as water bottles, insulated beverage containers, and tumblers, can make them challenging to store. Although traditional rollout drawers can facilitate access to certain objects, they are not the best option because the items have a tendency to move and fall out when the drawer is pulled out. Hardware Resources' Bottle Rollout Organizer is made to make handling and storing these bulky containers simple. Because of its double drawer design, the Bottle Rollout makes it simple to reach the bottom drawer by pushing the top drawer back and out of the way. In addition to the 15-bottle grid, the 21- and 27-bottle organizers contain a partially divided drawer to hold lengthy or bulky goods and a reversible grid system that allows for left- or right-hand arrangement. With a 15-bottle grid that can hold containers up to 4" by 4", the bottle grid system offers the greatest amount of flexibility. For a variety of households, including active families with sports-loving members, environmentally conscious consumers who wish to avoid single-use drinkware, and performers who utilize the bottle rollout for their home bar or beverage area, it is a clever option.
