Creating A Luxury Bathroom: The Elements You Can't Ignore

Ask any real estate agent, and they’ll tell you that it’s kitchens and bathrooms that sell houses.

We take our time to create our perfect kitchen as it is the heart of any home. It’s the room where we share a coffee and catch up with friends, cook up our newest culinary creations for the family and continue in our efforts to create the perfect creme brulee.

But what about our bathroom? The chances are we don’t place as much importance on it because we spend less time in there, it’s a smaller room, and it’s not an area of the home that we relish spending time in. But you could change all that with a bathroom renovation. You could create a sanctuary geared up towards nothing but peace and relaxation. Take a look at these key elements to consider when creating your luxury bathroom.

Create The Spa Look

If you have the budget, splash out on a stunning four piece suite for your bathroom. That separate cubicle complete with rain head shower adds a touch of class to your room. When considering your bath, opt for a touch of spa-like luxury and select a jacuzzi bath. There is nothing better than heading home after a mammoth day at work to rest your weary feet and aching bones in a tub of massaging bubbles surrounded by scented candles. By renovating your bathroom so that it exudes relaxation, you are bound to spend more time enjoying the space.

Lighting

Gone are the days of the harsh, squinting inducing strobe lighting to be replaced by eco-friendly halogen spotlights or pendants. Both these forms of lighting create a subtle soft light, ideal to add to the sense of tranquility that you are trying to create. Alongside gorgeous vanity mirrors, you can create an illusion of space by bouncing light across the room and off of the tiled walls and flooring.

Fixtures and Fittings

When considering your taps, basins, showerhead, and tub, it pays to check out the latest interior trends but also to select a style that won’t age. Remember when the avocado suite was the design to have? This is an interior trend that will never come back into fashion. It pays to opt for white but play around with the style a little bit. If you head to World of Renovation, you’ll see the bathroom fixtures by Caroma. These pieces are elegant yet practical and come with the reassurance of being made by a company that has been in the business for over 75 years.

Color

It always pays to opt for the white suite, yet when it comes to flooring and walls, you can unleash your creative streak. You may want to opt for the classically elegant gray or duck egg blue to exude sophistication and the boutique hotel look. Or you may have something a little more unique in mind with bespoke tiling and reclaimed antique flooring.

So, go for it! Make renovating your bathroom so that it is on a par with the quality and design of the rest of your home your number one priority this summer.
