High value comfort upgrades

• Better shower experience: rain head + handheld, smart control placement

• Improved storage: linen tower, recessed cabinets, drawer organizers

• Water-saving fixtures that keep performance strong

• Ultra-trendy finishes that date quickly

• Overly complicated plumbing changes without a real benefit

• Too many “statement” materials competing in a small space
