Designing Luxury Bathrooms in the Home

Few would disagree that after a hard day nothing feels better than slipping into a hot, relaxing bath, filled to the brim with comforting bubbles.

As you lay back in your spacious tub, you look over at your stylish vanity unit with modern taps, and your smart, functional toilet. As your carefully chosen tiles glimmer under candlelight, you’re in bathroom heaven.

Sounds good doesn’t it?

We all deserve a little luxury in our lives, and the bathroom is one part of the home that can become a sanctuary when it is well designed and installed. So what makes a beautiful luxury bathroom, and how can you design one yourself?

Here are some tips to help you create your own designer haven.

Consider the Size of the Room

There’s no point making plans for a huge whirlpool bath, a shower unit, vanity unit and matching toilet if you only have a small space to work with.

Be sure to take accurate measurements of your bathroom, and work with the space you have. You can still have a luxury bathroom even if it’s small. You just have to think a bit more carefully about the bathroom products you choose.

Corner baths and basins can be well suited to the small bathroom, and with hundreds of modern designs to choose from you’ll still end up with a room you can be proud of.

What’s Your Budget?

Bathroom suites and units vary massively in price, so you need an idea of what you want to spend before you go shopping.
Remember you need to factor in the cost of installation and building materials, so don’t go blowing your whole budget on the bathroom products.

Who’s Going To Be Doing The Actual Work For You?

You might save a bundle of money putting the bathroom in yourself, but make a mistake and you could end up costing yourself a small fortune in repairs. Only undertake the job if you know what you’re doing, and don’t be afraid to use some of your budget to pay for a professional installer.

It’ll be worth it in the long run!

What Style Are You Aiming For?

A designer bathroom doesn’t have to be filled with the most modern suites to be luxurious. You can create an equally stunning space using more traditional suite designs.

If you prefer a more traditional look, why not consider a freestanding tub. These are very attractive, and slot perfectly into a bathroom trying to capture an old-fashioned look.

Think about the overall feel you want for your space before you start buying any suites.

A Whirlpool Bath – The Pinnacle Of Luxury

If you want a bathroom that screams luxury then you really need to consider a whirlpool bath. Feeling millions of bubbles rushing over your body as you slip into a peaceful state of ecstasy is unrivalled.

Not only do they look stylish, but whirlpool baths are said to have a number of health benefits. They’re known to help people with back pain and muscle discomfort, in addition to being trialled in the treatment of stress related conditions.

More importantly, whirlpool baths are far more affordable than they used to be, and in our opinion, no modern bathroom should be without one.

Think About Colours

Your three-piece bathroom suite may look spectacular in blazing red, but if you have bright green tiles on your wall it’s going to clash.

Don’t forget to think about the colour scheme, and remember to factor in the cost of any repainting or retiling work you might want to do. Depending on the size of the room, a full re-tile job could be expensive.
