A bathroom is no longer just a place to quickly shower or brush your teeth. More and more people want to turn their bathroom into a place to relax. A spa at home. But how do you create that luxury bathroom atmosphere without making it feel out of reach?
Choose high quality materials
The basis of a luxury look starts with the right materials. Think of:
Natural stone look tiles
Marble or concrete look walls
Wooden accents, such as a bathroom cabinet with a wood texture
Glass shower walls or black details
These materials create a rich look and instantly give that hotel feeling. View our bathroom tiles for inspiration in style and colour.
Go for a walk in shower
A luxury bathroom is often sleek and spacious. A walk in shower fits this perfectly. Without a threshold, with a glass wall or fully open. A walk in shower not only looks beautiful, but is also practical to use.
Do you want to complete the look? Combine the walk in shower with a rain shower and niches in the wall for your shampoo and soap.
- Play with lighting
Lighting can make or break the atmosphere. For a luxury bathroom, combine functional light with mood lighting:
Dimmable ceiling spotlights
LED lighting behind the mirror
Indirect lighting under the cabinet or bath
Wall lights for a warm look
By using light in different ways, you create layers and atmosphere. And that is exactly what a luxury bathroom needs, right?
- Work with warm colours and contrasts
Luxury does not always have to be white or black. Warm grey tones, taupe, sand colours or even dark green or blue give your bathroom an elegant and inviting atmosphere. Combine light tiles with dark furniture, or the other way around.
Do you want a calming atmosphere? Then keep the colour palette limited and work with natural tones. You can find examples in our complete bathrooms, where colour, material and layout come together beautifully.
- Use large mirrors
A large mirror makes the space look bigger and adds style. Choose a mirror with integrated lighting or heating for extra comfort. Round mirrors create a softer, more spa like look, while sleek rectangular mirrors feel modern and minimalist.
Extra tip: by hanging two mirrors next to each other above a double washbasin, you create a symmetrical and luxurious effect.
- Minimise and organise
Clutter ruins a luxury feeling. So make sure there is enough storage space and keep cables, bottles and toiletries out of sight. Think of:
Handleless drawers
Built in cabinets
Niches in the wall
Floating furniture for a spacious effect
Minimalism does not mean you have to give up atmosphere. On the contrary: by creating calm, the design stands out more beautifully.
- Choose a freestanding bath
Do you have the space? Then a freestanding bath is a real eye catcher. It radiates comfort, calm and luxury, and invites you to enjoy long baths. Place the bath away from the wall and combine it with a standing bath tap or a subtly placed wall tap.
No space for a freestanding bath? A built in bath with a stylish surround can also look very chic. Also view our frequently asked questions about bathrooms, where we explain the options.
- Add wellness elements
For those who really want to relax, there are many wellness options that give your bathroom a luxury boost:
Infrared panels for extra warmth
Steam shower with aromas
Underfloor heating for warm feet
Music system or Bluetooth speaker integrated into the mirror
These extras take the space to a higher level and turn your bathroom into a personal wellness space.
- Think about scent and textiles
Scent plays a big role in how a space feels. Use fragrance sticks, essential oils or candles with natural aromas such as eucalyptus, lavender or sandalwood. Combine this with high quality textiles:
Thick towels in neutral tones
A soft bath mat
A bathrobe made of terry cloth or linen
This makes your bathroom feel not only luxurious, but also warm and inviting.
- Work with a well thought out design
A luxury bathroom depends on a good design. That is why it is smart to get advice about the layout, lighting, materials and colours.
