New fixtures and fittings

Depending on the current condition of your bathroom, it may be necessary for you to invest in new fixtures and fittings if you truly want to make this a luxurious space. You may only need some new taps or shower heads, or it may be a good idea to invest in a completely new bathroom suite including a stylish shower, bath, toilet and vanity unit.

In any case, you should absolutely focus on quality materials, as this will ensure that your bathroom remains beautiful for many years to come. Luxury brands like Lusso Stone only offer the very best quality and most stylish designs, such as freestanding baths and waterfall showers, so you can trust that you’ll achieve an elegant final result.

New tiles

If you’re going to update your bathroom with new fixtures and fittings, then it’s important for you to update the tiles too so that the room doesn’t look unfinished. Old, cracked and grimy tiles certainly won’t pair well with your new shower and vanity unit!

To make your bathroom look even more opulent you should opt for high-quality materials like marble, as this will instantly elevate the look and atmosphere of this space. In addition, larger tiles are preferable because this will reduce the grout lines – these grout lines can often gather grime and dirt, so reducing their presence can make your bathroom look cleaner and more elegant.

Stylish mirrors

Even simple changes can make a huge difference, so if you want to add a little more class quickly and easily to your bathroom, the try swapping out your basic mirror for an ornate, interesting one. This will add a focal point to the room and make a definitive style statement. Furthermore, a large mirror will reflect more light, making this space seem larger and brighter. Round mirrors are currently very fashionable and backlit mirrors offer a warm glow – the perfect type of light to use while getting ready in the morning.

Lighting

Speaking of light, you should definitely look at changing your lighting if you want to make your bathroom more luxurious. Basic lighting is purely functional, but stylish lighting fixtures will make a real statement and create an elegant atmosphere. For example, you could install LED backlighting for a modern effect or opt for a small chandelier if you prefer opulent designs. Also consider the use of automatic night lighting used with a sensor that with provide a soft light when using the room late at night and turn off minutes later.

Declutter

As with any room, it’s important to keep surfaces clear and tidy if you want to create luxurious living spaces in your home. Make sure you declutter your bathroom regularly and make use of clever storage solutions like glass storage and mirrors with shelving behind. Clutter can make a room feel cramped, small and overwhelming, especially in an already compact space, so getting rid of excess bottles and jars on your countertops and hiding away everyday items into vanity units and on shelving will ensure that this space feels much cleaner and more comfortable.
