Tips for Creating a Luxurious Bathroom

Research shows that a luxurious bathroom ranks high on the list of things homeowners want, which is no surprise with today’s trend of spa-like master baths. Follow these tips to bring a bathroom similar to the spa experience and hotel baths into your own home, creating a space to relax, linger and luxuriate. 
Rethink the color.
Your bathroom remodel should start with a color scheme based on the purpose of the space. If you’re someone who likes to unwind in the bathroom for hours with candles, a good book and a glass of wine, rich browns, greys and even black can create elegant indulgence. For a bathroom shared among multiple family members, lighter colors are best. Consider a light grey or tan for the walls, all white fittings and one accent color.
Ditch the old shower and tub.
The main focus of your new renovated bathroom will be your shower and/or tub. A walk-in shower behind glass doors with tile-clad walls, storage niches and multiple shower heads is the definition of elegance in the bathroom. South Jersey Glass & Door of Wildwood can help your luxury shower dreams come true with frameless, semi-framed or framed glass door enclosures for all types of showers. Also be sure to choose a designer-esque showerhead, as a cheap one can really ruin the sense of sophistication. If you desire a tub, nothing says “relaxation” like a free-standing or tile-encased soaking tub.
Choose a dramatic bathroom vanity.
Your bathroom vanity should add character to your luxury bathroom with a stunning visual effect. A modern, edgy look with clean lines and a marble top will surely make a statement. For the sink, be bold and go for a trough sink or vessel sink, both of which are growing trends in today’s high end bathrooms. The Cabinet Shop offers a showroom full of top manufacturer’s products to get that look you have always dreamed of having.
Let there be light.
Lighting is key in any space, but bathrooms typically pose a lighting challenge. Most bathrooms have minimal windows for privacy purposes, so it’s up to you to add proper illumination. Get rid of any harsh fluorescent lights and invest in spotlights or downlights, specifically ones that you can dim to get that soothing feeling. Additionally, strategically placed candles are an easy way to create that spa feel.
Don’t overlook the floor!
Sometimes the floor can get overlooked as a design element in a room, especially the bathroom. But a beautiful floor can pull the whole look of your luxury room together. Whether you choose vinyl, ceramic, porcelain, laminate, stone or linoleum, there are endless options that can give you a classy look without breaking the bank.
It’s all about the accents.
Little things can make a big difference. Metals like gold, silver, copper and bronze can add stylish warmth to your bathroom. Bring these metallic colors into your new space with cabinet hardware, vases, picture and mirror frames, trays, candle holders and other decorative items.
Say goodbye to clutter.
Clutter in the bathroom screams “messy family space!” Your new bathroom needs adequate storage to reflect a relaxing spa environment. Vanity cabinets, wall-mounted cabinets and mirrored cabinets can easily hide cosmetics, and over-the-door hangers and towel rails give towels a home in the room.
