If you’ve worked with us (or you’re about to), you’ll notice something pretty quickly: we don’t overcomplicate bathroom renovation decisions that don’t need to be complicated. Toilets fall squarely into that category.
Our standard recommendation is the Kohler Highline Comfort Height Two-Piece Elongated Toilet. And unless you have strong preferences otherwise, this is what we’re going to guide you toward.
Here’s why.
A Solid Brand We Trust
Kohler has been around forever for a reason. Their products are consistent, reliable, and easy to service if anything ever comes up down the line. That matters more than most homeowners realize.
We’re not interested in installing something that looks good on day one but becomes a headache in year three. Kohler gives us confidence, and that translates directly to you.
Comfort Height = Better for Daily Life
This model is “comfort height,” which means it sits a little taller than a standard toilet. It’s easier on your knees, easier to get on and off, and generally just feels better for most adults.
It’s one of those subtle upgrades that doesn’t feel flashy… but once you have it, you won’t want to go back.
Elongated Bowl: More Comfortable and More Universal Fit
The elongated shape is more comfortable and works in the vast majority of bathrooms we see across Nashville homes.
From a layout standpoint, it’s flexible. From a usability standpoint, it’s just better. That combination makes it an easy default.
Consistency Helps Everything Run Smoother
Here’s the part most people don’t think about.
When we standardize certain selections—like this toilet—it helps us:
- Keep rough-in measurements predictable
- Avoid last-minute install issues
- Streamline ordering and delivery
- Reduce decision fatigue for you
It also helps our team move faster and more confidently, because we know exactly what we’re working with.
And in construction, that kind of consistency matters.
It Performs
This model uses Kohler’s Class Five flushing technology with 1.28 gallons per flush. Translation: it works well, clears efficiently, and doesn’t waste water.
You don’t want to think about your toilet every day. This one makes sure you don’t have to.
Want Something Different? Totally Fine.
If you have strong feelings about a wall-mounted toilet, a skirted base, a specific design aesthetic, or even a different brand. We’re all ears.
This isn’t about forcing a choice. It’s about giving you a solid, reliable default that we know works.
The Bottom Line
We recommend the Kohler Highline because it checks all the boxes:
- Reliable brand
- Comfortable height
- Practical shape
- Consistent install
- Strong performance
It’s not flashy. It’s not trendy. It just works; and that’s exactly what we want in your home.
If you want to explore other options, we’ll guide you through that. But if you’re happy to keep things simple, this is our go-to for a reason.
The same thinking applies well outside the bathroom. If you’re considering replacing an exterior door, sizing up a deck refresh, or trying to figure out what to expect from Tennessee construction compared to California, we can walk you through that, too. Reach out when you’re ready to talk through your project.
