While the bathroom is often the smallest room in the house, there is no reason it shouldn’t feel luxurious. Adding a few special touches can easily make it a place of relaxing indulgence. Opting for a large bath or walk-in shower is a great way to do this when designing your bathroom.

Adding A Touch of Luxury To Your Bathroom

1. Spectacular Lighting

Lighting can often make or break a room. With a bathroom, you may want different types of light for different times of day.

Bright to help you wake up in the morning and softer to help you relax and unwind after a long a day. This can be achieved by adding a dimmer switch (outside of the bathroom of course.)

Light fittings can also change how a room feels. For example, nothing quite says luxury like having a chandelier in the bathroom!

2. Clear Away The Clutter

I think one reason hotel bathrooms always feel so luxurious is because of the lack of the clutter. When designing your bathroom allow for lots of storage space so shampoo bottles, face creams and everything else can be neatly hidden away. It will make the room feel much more spacious and luxurious.

3. Pick Accent Colours

Choosing an accent colour to help create a luxury feel is well worth the effort. I love the idea of gold partnered with a cooler shade such as grey or ivory. You could also choose strong dark colours like navy blue or emerald green and accent them with gold or silver.

4. Use Glass Bottles

Glass bottles give a much more elegant feel than having plastic bottles on show. It does take a little bit of time but try decanting items that you use regularly such as shampoo and hand wash into glass bottles – the over all look this created is more than worth it.

5 Pick The Right Flooring

While carpet may seem like the best option for a luxury feel, carpet doesn’t typically fare well in bathrooms and should be avoided. Tiles can give a luxury, hotel suite kind of a feel, especially when you add some underfloor heating to prevent them from being cold.

Instead of carpet try adding a big fluffy bathroom rug instead.

6. Invest In Fancy Towels

If you’re going all out for a luxury feel in your bathroom, it might be worth splurging on some fancy towels.

We use towels every day so going for the best quality you can afford is a great way to add a touch of luxury. Don’t forget to match them in with your chosen colour scheme!
