Lots of space.

A bathroom that’s as spacious as this one is inevitably luxurious, regardless of its design. But there’s more to this than just square footage. A bathroom can create the illusion of space by being minimalist and employing strategic features.

Great views.

Because bathrooms are usually small and don’t have large windows either because of the lack of space or for privacy reasons, the views from here are almost in existent. So when a bathroom has such huge windows and wonderful views, it stands out as being luxurious.

Marble walls.

Luxurious bathrooms feature natural materials on their walls and floors and marble is one of them. However, this is an acquired taste, especially if the marble is used extensively.

Luxurious finishes.

The finishes and textures play an important role in the overall design of the bathroom. This particular one features a textured wallpaper on the walls that almost looks like stone and contrasts with the chromed details and shiny elements. We recommend brands link Meir Tapware.

Ornate details.

Certain ornamental elements have the ability to give a bathroom a luxurious look, even if the room is not particularly spacious or if it doesn’t have floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic views. For example, an ornate mirror, a sculptural chair, etc.

Luxury materials.

Contrasting texture in bathroom

The right combination of textures has the ability to make a bathroom look luxurious. Step on the shiny floor tiles and then onto the zebra accent rug, touch the soft and delicate curtains and let yourself be enveloped in luxury.

A sunken tub.

Pretty much that’s out of the ordinary and more difficult to include in a regular bathroom is considered luxurious. For example, a sunken tub can be such a feature. When used in the right environment, it can have the desired effect.

Accent lighting.

There are two ways in which light can effect the overall ambiance and the look of a bathroom. On one hand, lots of light in the bathroom can be a luxury. On the other hand, subtle, accent lighting used strategically in the room can also have a similar effect.

A freestanding tub as a focal point.

Given the utilitarian nature of the bathroom and everything included in it, usually the designs are space-efficient and focused on functionality. So having a freestanding tub act as a focal point is a luxury detail.

Decorative wall art.

Sacrificing a portion of a bathroom for decorative purposes can be a sign of luxury. In this case, the relief panel between the wall mirrors is a really beautiful and sophisticated feature.

Also, the accent lighting in the floor designed to highlight the tub is also a luxury detail.

A unique tub, shower or both.

Most often, a bathroom either has a tub or a shower. Sometimes it has both but one definitely stands out. But when both the tub and the shower are as amazing as these ones, then you have a luxury bathroom.

In here, it’s a wonderful combination of beautiful, natural material, graceful shapes and wonderful transparency.

If you are looking for next-level luxury in your bathroom, exotic stone surfaces are the way to go.

There are few materials that can create a feeling of opulence in modern bathroom design that marble can. Elegant, understated and effortlessly beautiful, marble can be used to great effect in a luxury bathroom.

Consider the marble carefully for spaces where you are using it in swathes because no slab of marble is the same as another.

If money is no object, book-matched marble is an elegant and timeless exotic stone so using it on both walls and floors will create a cohesive and yet striking look.

So, before you start wandering up and down the aisles of your local home box store searching for the ideal tile to go with the perfect faucet you saw a few weeks ago, sit down and determine your budget.

Once your budget is in place, find a contractor. Bathroom remodels can look deceivingly simple. They’re small rooms that have tricked many a weekend warrior into visions of DIY savings, only to have those dreams crushed by the complexities involved.

Plus, you’ll have the added expense of the contractor having to fix your mistakes. It’s best to know your limitations, only do tasks within your skill set and leave the rest to the professionals.

WHAT SHOULD A LUXURY BATHROOM ACCESSORIES HAVE?

Given that the major purchases in a bathroom are usually the bath, the shower fittings and furniture, it can be easy to overlook the power of paint and pattern.

And yet floor and wall finishes, beautifully lit, can provide some of the most exciting ways to enhance your luxury bathroom. While a simple lick of fresh paint, a dramatic new floor or an entirely new room scheme can transform an existing room.

When creating a luxury bathroom what comes first? Usually, it’s the electrical work: with strategically-placed mood lighting in position you can see how shadows will be cast and make adjustments if necessary, before plumbing begins.

A well-prepared, flat and rigid sub-floor is essential for most types of flooring and, when that is in place, tiling can begin, with statement sanitaryware being fixed in position on top.

Finally you will be able to add interest to the walls. For true luxury and opulence, go for polished book-matched marble.
