How To Add A Touch Of Luxe To Your Bathroom

Bathrooms have essential functional purposes, but they can offer so much more than a place to wash. Many of us dream of a restful, stylish sanctuary to retreat to at the end of a busy day. If your bathroom isn’t the beautiful, sumptuous space you long for, here are some tips to add a touch of luxe.

Pay attention to the details

Small details make a big difference when it comes to the overall aesthetic of any living space. In your bathroom, you can carry luxurious themes and add an opulent feel with the right fixtures and fittings, accessories and final touches. Examples include drawer handles, door knobs, taps, plugs, toothbrush and toilet brush holders, shower fittings, loo roll holders and hooks for robes and towels. Silver and stainless steel look clean and sophisticated, while gold and bronze are more decadent. 

Opt for high-end materials

The materials you choose for your bathroom have a significant impact on the look of the room, but they also influence the vibe you’re creating. If you dream of a boutique hotel or resort-style aesthetic, opting for high-end materials is an excellent idea. From marble flooring and glass shower screens to ceramic or stone tiles and hardwood furniture, you can elevate your bathroom in an instant. Luxurious-looking materials don’t always have to cost the earth. There are ways to save money while ensuring your bathroom looks fabulous, such as using expensive materials to create a new focal point rather than buying large quantities, comparing prices online and upcycling furniture. 

Simplify the colourway

Simple colourways look chic, but they can also alter the feel of your bathroom. If you’re looking to design a serene space to relax and unwind, an unfussy palette is best. Opt for neutrals or white with accents or flashes of colour. Monochrome is a popular choice for bathrooms. You can add colour with plants and accessories or by creating a statement wall. If your bathroom is white or beige, for example, you could paint one wall black, teal or grey or add earthy tones. Alternatively, you can also use accessories, such as mirrors, bespoke lighting and wall art, to design focal points.

Make a style statement with your tub

When it comes to stunning bathrooms you see in glossy magazines or ultra-stylish social feeds, there’s usually a common denominator: An eye-catching tub. Making a statement with your bathtub is a simple way to enhance the look of the room instantly. Whether you love clean lines and contemporary minimalism or vintage opulence, there’s a tub for you. It’s an excellent idea to shop around, browse websites and bathroom stores and explore antiques and vintage treasures you could upcycle. Choose pieces that complement your style and taste and the theme and feel of the room.
