Do you want your bathroom to be a luxurious retreat? Then you must make a few tweaks to take it from a standard issue bathroom to an environment that is worthy of a five star spa. When creating a relaxing bathroom setting, you should consider the materials for all surfaces as well as the plumbing fixtures to use within the space.
Luxury Bathroom Finishes
The most luxurious bathroom finishes are natural stones. Marble, granite and slate look elegant on nearly any bathroom surface, including the counter, floor and wall surfaces. Slabs are the sleekest option as well as the easiest to clean. With an expanse of stone, you don’t have to worry about scrubbing between hundreds of grout lines. However, installing stone slabs made of these natural materials can cost a lot of money. You can emulate this look by using larger tiles that are installed carefully.
Your plumbing fixtures also contribute to the effect of luxury. Spend a little extra money on a large sink, and a toilet with special features such as a warming seat or a self-cleaning function. These features will make your life a little easier, and also make you feel as if you are visiting a high end spa on a daily basis.
Bath and Shower Enclosures
Another important factor to consider is the enclosure for your bath or shower. If you enjoy relaxing in a tub for a long time, then consider installing a garden tub shower combo. You can enjoy the best of both worlds; relax in the tub for 30 minutes, and then rinse off in the shower. Make your layout the most efficient by installing a bi fold shower door, so you don’t waste valuable feet within your bathroom just for a dedicated door swing area.
By choosing luxurious finishes and shower enclosures, your bathroom will feel like a high-end spa for your everyday use.
