1. Bring in some bling
Give your bathroom the regal treatment with a shimmering element. Think gold mirrors, crystal lamp shades, a copper sink or metallic faucets and accessories. Opt for a less-is-more strategy to avoid creating a shiny but potentially tacky mess.
If you want metal to be the focal of your bathroom, choose a metallic tile for the walls or a striking copper bathtub. Other options to consider include metallic candles, side tables, shelving and towel rails. Have a look at the practical extras in these heavenly bathrooms for inspiration.
2. Go green
Invigorate your bathroom with greenery! Fresh plants add more than just cheer to the cold interior of a bathroom; they are multifunctional in that they absorb air pollutants while looking fabulous. Pick tropical plants that thrive in a humid environment and require minimal maintenance. Peace lilies, orchids and aloe are some of the many options ideal for a luxury bathroom.
Save space and maximize your area of greenery by suspending potted plants or kokedama above a beautiful freestanding bathtub, or create a living wall for a stunning focal. Whichever way you use them, plants make for a tranquil and relaxing environment and the perfect remedy for a long day.
3. Freestanding Bathtubs
A freestanding bathtub is the ultimate in luxury bathroom design. A large freestanding bath will be the most significant feature in the room, and the choice of tub will impact the style of the entire bathroom. One thing is certain; lying in a large tub in a luxurious interior will have you feeling like a royal. Here is more inspiration for a modern bathroom that you’ll never want to leave!

4. Heated Towel rails
Super luxurious and practical, towel rails will completely change your bathroom. With a quality towel rail, you can snuggle a warm towel within 15 minutes! Apart from keeping you cozy, heating your towels has another benefit; it keeps them fresh and eliminates harmful bacteria that might think of your damp towel as an ideal breeding ground.
5. Luxurious lighting
When it comes to choosing lighting for your luxurious bathroom, you’ll have to dust of the crystals and get out the feathers because it’s time to go all out! Delicate pendant lighting, intricate chandeliers, and experimental designer lighting can shape your bathroom into something exquisite.
Remember that even though you want bright and clear lighting in a bathroom, you also want to maintain a spa-like atmosphere. That is where the dimmer comes in. If you don’t want two different types of lighting in the bathroom, dimmers are a practical alternative; perfect for adjusting the light intensity to suit your mood.
Because water and electricity can be a fatal mix, you also have to keep the safety regulations in mind when deciding on bathroom lighting. Fittings should be completely covered, and light switches should be outside the bathroom to avoid a potential fire hazard.
