6 Steps to a Luxury Bathroom Sanctuary
A bathroom is by necessity a practical space. But that needn't mean it has to be cold and clinical. In fact, if you're anything like me, you probably also want it to be a relaxing space; somewhere to unwind and luxuriate.
Whether you're planning a full renovation or just swapping out a few key items, you'll find luxury is in the details. You don't have to spend a fortune to get a deluxe result.
Here are six ideas to level up your bathroom from so-so to oh-so-good.
Removing clutter is the first step to a calm, luxe sanctuary. That is often easier said than done. After all, we have to use the bathroom every day! Tidy away clutter in baskets, storage boxes and behind cupboard doors. Replace plastic, faded or tattered items with bold alternatives.
For example, you can't go wrong with marble. A statement piece like this toothbrush holder combines luxury with practicality.
Tactile texture beings warmth to an otherwise cold atmosphere, elevating the space by adding visual interest and warmth.
Ways to layer on texture include: fluffy, plush hand towels, green plants in hanging pots or overflowing from a shelf, dramatic curtains, a rug or mat, a comfy chair and woven elements, like these handwoven rattan baskets.
DIY updates can refine your space without the expense of renovations. Swapping out plastic and mis-matched accessories for coordinated items in stainless steel or black creates an instant high-end look. Replace towel rails, wall hooks, taps, toilet roll holders, vanity light fixtures, and even the door handle with matching or coordinating upgrades. For example, this wall-mountable toilet brush is both tidier and more visually appealing than flimsy plastic ones.
Earthy neutral shades create a soothing environment. Whether your budget runs to a full replacement or a few carefully selected swaps, you can increase the luxe factor. Watery blues create a serene atmosphere, deep charcoal creates a dramatic feel, earthy brown and cream tones add warmth, and the cloudy gray veining of marble brings a serene, calming touch to any type of bathroom. These marble cabinet handles and wall hooks ooze luxury.
Wallpaper and wall art create a more intimate, warm atmosphere, enriching your bathroom space with character. Earth tones are restful while rich hues like indigo, gold and black add a touch of luxury and drama.
These beautiful prints of coral and seaweed add texture and interest to your wall. Whether you purchase one to hang individually or a selection to hang as a set, these understated yet luxuriant prints are a worthy investment.
Elements of nature are calming and restful, inviting a spa-like atmosphere. Think marble, stone, potted plants (live or faux), wood and bamboo.
Travertine is a durable natural marble with a neutral palette, which will complement any décor style. It is naturally textured, ensuring each piece is unique. Our range allows you to mix and match your own bespoke set.
To sum up, take the time to treat your bathroom with the same care and attention you would a bedroom or living space. Select items that promote texture, warmth and luxury, and you will have an environment rich with character. We hope these tips bring you one step closer to a bathroom that feels like your very own deluxe personal sanctuary.
