Bathrooms are such busy spaces that even when they become old, tired or non-functional, homeowners may still be reluctant to renovate them due to the inconvenience it presents. However, nothing says happy home quite like a stylish and welcoming bathroom, and in terms of an investment, renovated bathrooms typically give great returns, especially when they are luxurious and stand out as a significant feature in the home.
Fortunately, it doesn’t take a lot to transform a bathroom from a drab and dingy space, into a luxurious one, especially one in a master suite, and here are 8 inspirational ideas you might not have thought about:
- A vertical shower system
From twin rain showerheads and body jets, to wall sprays and hand showers, vertical spa shower systems are the ultimate in showering luxury. Choose wisely and you can even enjoy all the benefits of thermostatic valves, which allow you to set the water to a precise temperature, and never have to adjust it again. Some spa shower systems can even be controlled with your smartphone via a clever app, meaning that your shower experience can be indulgent and just as steamy as you like it, every time!
2. A walk-thru shower
Walk-thru showers can be as open or as private as you would like them to be, with either glass fronts or solid ones. Easy to simply walk in and out of, you can say goodbye to annoying doors, minimize your cleaning, and enable anyone with mobility abilities, safe and simple access to the shower.
3. A morning bar
By having a morning bar fitted in your master suite, you can further enhance the feeling of waking up in a luxury hotel, every single morning! Add an espresso maker, mini refrigerator, sink and even a drawer for chilling wine, and you’ve got 5-star luxury in your very own bedroom.
4. A lounge area with TV
If your bathroom is big enough (or you plan to expand it), why not turn a convenient corner of it into a lounge space; add a comfortable (but elegant and stylish) chair in which you can sit and relax after a steamy shower or long soak in the standalone tub, and listen to music or watch TV.
5. A fireplace
Imagine soaking in the tub after a long day on your feet or sat hunched over your computer, the lights turned down low, with the light of the fire and crackle of the flames to soothe you. If a real fireplace isn’t feasible in your bathroom, consider adding a flame-effect accessory instead, which will give you the same effect, but with less hassle.
6. A chromotherapy tub
Did you know that some manufacturers have started creating tubs that diffuse different lights into the water? Colored lights are said to have therapeutic values, and by adding them to your bathing experience, you can enjoy an invigorating or relaxing soak, as is your preference.
7. A chandelier
Chandeliers don’t have to be the stuff of stately drawing rooms and elegantly grand entrances; why not have one in your bathroom to enhance the look and feel of luxury?
8. Towel warmers
Choose from freestanding or wall mounted towel warmers to save space and help keep your bathroom warm, and your towels fluffy and inviting.
A luxury bathroom demands an experienced and highly reliable renovation company or general contractor. So, to make sure your ideas are perfectly executed and your bathroom is every bit as stylish and luxurious as you want it to be, only ever work with the best, and don’t be tempted to simply go with the company who offer you the lowest price.
