If you’re planning any kind of remodel or renovation in your home, the bathroom is an excellent place to start. Bathrooms are often left as an afterthought, and so many homes in 2023 have stunning modern kitchens but outdated, dingy bathrooms.
This is why your bathroom is an excellent choice for your next home project – and you have every right to turn the space into a luxurious oasis. Keep reading to see our favorite ideas on how to make your bathroom feel as luxurious as any five-star hotel.
Promote Relaxation
When you think of luxury, you’re almost guaranteed to conjure up an image in your mind that screams rest and relaxation. High-end spas and expensive retreats all put luxury and relaxation at the forefront, and this is what you should be going for in your bathroom.
Consider ideas like dimmable lighting to set the mood while you take a bath, use essential oil diffusers to try aromatherapy to get you feeling calm, or incorporate a teak shower chair to rest on (or to display your selfcare products). You should also make sure that your towels and robes are soft, fluffy, and of the highest quality for that ultimate getaway feeling.
Embrace a Timeless Design
Tue luxury is never gaudy. That’s why going for a timeless, classic look for the design of your bathroom is an option you’ll never regret. Choose a neutral color palette that you’ll never get tired of. You can always pick an accent color which you can switch out depending on your mood or the season.
You should also take care to choose finishings and furniture that have been carefully designed and well-crafted, meant to outlast trends as well as daily use. Keeping your space tidy and organized will also contribute more than you might imagine to an elegant and luxurious vibe.
Use Elegant Materials
Luxury can be felt in every aspect of a room, including what it’s built from. If you’re doing a full renovation or remodel, choose wisely when it comes to your building materials.
Do your research before making any decisions when it comes to your flooring, walls, and countertops. Choosing the right materials has a significant impact not only on the look and feel of the space, but how long things stay looking fresh! Heated floors and marble countertops are always going to be a winning combination, and will make your bathroom feel elegant and sophisticated but cozy at the same time.
Incorporate Nature
Similarly, bringing plants and natural materials into your home can make it feel cozy and modern at the same time. Indoor plants will not only look stunning and bring a pop of color into your bathroom, but they can help improve air quality in there too! Plants can bring a sense of calm into a space, and it adds a really nice touch for guest bathrooms too! Consider a vase of fresh flowers next to the sink for a sweet scent.
Other natural aspects you can consider include using natural materials like stone and wood, and optimizing the natural light you have in there with big windows or even a skylight to let the sun in. These elements will bring the outside in, and give your space a modern and breezy edge.
Use Tech for Convenience
Technology can also help you in your search for luxury. In the modern age, we’re spoiled for choice when it comes to the gadgets and software that has all been designed to make our lives easier and more comfortable.
You can invest in smart mirrors with special built-in features, has a speaker installed in your shower for music, podcasts, or pure ambience, and use smart temperature controls for your underfloor heating. For the height of luxury, look into installing a smart shower that will help regulate your water pressure and temperature, monitor your consumption, and receive alerts when your water is at the perfect temp.
Keep it Personal
Personalizing anything will always make it feel more welcoming to you, and what could be more luxurious than that? Even if your bathroom is super modern, adding touches of your own personal style will be an excellent addition to your space.
In your remodel, make sure you make design and style choices that align perfectly with your preferences and personality. After the fact, make sure you decorate your space too! Choose artwork that both complement the room and aligns with you and your tastes – try to pick works that have some sentimental meaning to you as well!
