The Best Kitchen and Bath Upgrades for Mom
Flower, check. Chocolates, check. Plumbing upgrades…? Planning Mother’s Day comes with plenty of traditional gift ideas. Cards, candy, flowers are the gifts mom expects on her big day. But surprises are welcome, and what better to surprise mom with than a new kitchen sink or spa-like bathtub? Think outside the box this Mother’s Day and consider some of these great upgrades to wow mom at home!
Wonderful Bathroom Fixture Gifts
People spend a lot of time in the bathroom. Between brushing teeth, bathing, and getting ready for the day, mom probably spends a good hour or more in the bathroom a day. Why not make every moment in there more relaxing with a new sink or tub?- Faucet Upgrades: Handwashing, teeth brushing, hair styling... The sink gets used a ton in the bathroom. Choosing to install a new faucet can breathe new life into the bathroom and make mom’s daily rituals a little easier! Homeowners should consider installing automatic faucets that require no touch - this makes cleaning easier and prevents gross bacteria from building up on the faucet handles. Or, they can consider adding a high-efficiency faucet in a unique design to reduce water waste and save money on water bills, all while creating a new look for the bathroom.
- Sink Upgrades: Have a lower budget but want to create a spa-like space for mom at home? Add a new sink basin! Basins come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, from pedestal sinks that provide more room to cramped bathrooms to stone or glass basins that create the look of a classy hotel or spa without a simple switch.
- Tub Upgrades: If treating mom is the priority this year, homeowners should consider installing a new tub. There is nothing more relaxing than a long soak in bubbles or Epsom salt in a deep bathtub. Go big with a jetted tub, or go classic with a claw-footed porcelain tub.
Fantastic Kitchen Fixture Gifts 
Who doesn’t spend a lot of time in the kitchen? Mom probably spends a good hour or two a day working or cleaning in the kitchen. If nothing else, these gifts will make her time in the kitchen easier and make the kitchen feel newer!
Faucet Upgrades: Automatic faucets are all the rage in kitchens right now. They make washing hands so much easier, without the need to touch the faucet handles with bacteria-covered hands. Plus, automatic faucets can reduce water usage in the home!
If automatic isn’t up mom’s alley, one should consider installing a faucet with a built-in hose or a stainless steel upgrade that prevents water spotting and makes clean up easier.
Sink Upgrades: Sinks are one of the best ways to express style in the kitchen. Does mom love farmhouse decor? Install a new farmhouse sink for her. Is she a fan of a chef-style kitchen? Homeowners can install a deep-basined, stainless steel sink to give the kitchen a high-classed professional vibe.
Why Give Mom a Garbage Disposal for the Kitchen?
Those who want to get mom something more than cosmetic for the kitchen should consider installing a garbage disposal. While they aren’t as classic as chocolates or flowers, their uses make them the best kitchen gift to get mom. Why? They reduce the build-up of garbage and gross food in the sink, reduce odors in the home, and prevent plumbing problems for the kitchen with just a single installed gadget!
A plumbing expert can take the stress out of shopping and installing fixtures for mother’s day. They can install the new gifts quickly and make sure they work correctly, preventing any surprise plumbing headaches down the road.
