How to design your dream luxury bathroom in six simple steps

By Adrianna Johns   |  

With careful planning and close attention to detail, a luxury bathroom can be designed in any home, and regardless of your style, the most important element is to create a space where you can truly relax and unwind.

According to premium bathroom retailer and fitter Wirral Bathrooms, your perfect luxury bathroom should give you a spa-like feel, and become a space where you can forget your daily stresses by simply enjoying a blissful bath whilst being surrounded by the exquisite decor you’ve chosen.

Having a luxury bathroom is a coveted feature that many hope for, and this ongoing popularity brings forth a variety of designs that could make the creation process quite difficult if you are not entirely sure of what you want.

If you are lacking inspiration, then rest assured that we have found the best ways to swiftly transform your bathroom into a luxury space — no expenses spared.

Patterned tiles for a unique look

One way of quickly drawing attention to your bathroom is to feature extravagantly stylish flooring, and there’s no better way to achieve this other than installing patterned tiles.

With so many designs to choose from, you are spoilt for choice as you can either go for a breathtaking monochrome style that will visually expand the space, or a more colourful option to bring life and beauty to this room.

Do not feel confined to the floor, as you can place tiles along the walls to bring beautiful textures to the space — think mosaic or geometric to add a wow-factor.

Remember that this is not only a fun way of adding character and a modern twist but also a way of reflecting your personality.

Introduce stylish double sinks

A practical feature for busy couples, double sinks are also very reminiscent of high-end hotel suites.

Having a His & Hers will create a beautiful symmetry that will exude elegance, and transform any bathroom into a luxury one simply by creating this effect.

Regardless of the space, a double basin will fit beautifully when placed correctly and will make your home more desirable, thereby inevitably adding value.

Whilst choosing a double sink is a sign of luxury, you may think it more suitable to continue with only one. If so, then you could always improve the look by investing in a statement hand basin, which will function as a focal point — ensure that your plumbing is running smoothly, otherwise you may need to contact an emergency plumber.

Emphasise original features

If you have been blessed with original features in your bathroom area, then it’s worth ensuring that you bring attention to these exquisite details.

For example, if you have a stunning window feature, then you should emphasise the beauty of it by placing a traditional bathtub in front — this will automatically create a focal point as it will undoubtedly be the first thing you notice when entering.

Whilst you may not have noticed them before to your remodelling, make sure that your original features become a statement feature in your luxury bathroom.

Choosing the right storage

Trust us when we say that fitted storage will solve all your problems by removing the stresses of clutter.

By doing this, you will increase your storage space for towels and beauty products to be neatly placed, thereby reducing any chance of untidiness and creating a more unified look.

Similarly, if you are working with a smaller bathroom, then you could potentially choose to invest in wall-mounted furnishings, as it will provide an ideal way of creating the illusion of more floor space.

The essential details

For a bathroom to truly exude luxury, there needs to be maximised levels of comfort and wellbeing.

Consider underfloor heating, as it will keep your bathroom at a comfortable temperature, which will be ideal during the winter months. Similarly, installing a heated towel rail will keep your towels dry and toasty.

Think about the lighting too, as it should be versatile. Dimmer switches will give you the option of changing the ambience — imagine an indulgent bath after work, with the lights dimmed low, thereby enhancing your relaxation levels.

Lighting can also be used to illuminate certain features — perhaps surrounding your bathtub or illuminating a vanity unit — resulting in another focal point being created.
