Hello World! Welcome Friends! A bathroom is a space that takes on many roles. It’s where you cleanse and refresh your body, get ready for the day ahead, and relax after a long day of work. But while bathrooms are often designed with functionality in mind, they can also be designed to create an inviting atmosphere for other activities. Whether it is small-sized or large, a bathroom can be made to look expensive with just a few design tricks. Here are some design tricks that will help you give your bathroom a luxurious feel:
Add Mirrors or Reflective Surfaces
Reflective surfaces can give your bathroom a bright and airy feel. Mirrors and metallic finishes will catch the light, making the room look bigger and brighter. Mirrors and metallic finishes will also give the room a more luxurious look, making it feel like an exclusive spa. Just in case this isn’t something you can do, you can go for reflective wallpaper. This will still give your bathroom a great outlook without the trouble of dealing with mirrors or metallic finishes.
Taking pictures in this kind of space can be tricky, in a good way. The reflective surfaces create many different angles and the lighting is much better than in other rooms, which means you can take pictures from weird angles and still get a good shot.
Neutral Tones
When designing your bathroom, keep it neutral. Neutral tones are versatile colors that can easily match with every design theme or style. White, taupe, beige are some of the most popular modern tones used today. These hues look luxurious and elegant without feeling over-the-top.
A bathroom with neutral colors has a spa feel to it. These clean hues also look great combined with metallics. Keep your accessories simple, so you don’t take away from the look of the room. A few accents here and there are all that’s needed to create a luxurious bathroom, so resist the urge to get carried away with accessories.
Add Wallpaper to the Bathroom Ceiling
Most bathrooms have plain white or beige ceilings that do nothing for the bathroom. As noted by the team at a bathroom fitting company in London, the solution is decorating them with patterned wallpapers that match your style. If you have high ceilings, don’t be afraid to go all out with your wallpaper choices. Experiment with patterns and colors to make the bathroom space feel like an art gallery. You can even get creative with your choice of wallpaper, try applying it in zebra-style; black and white.
Add Natural Elements
Using natural elements will make the bathroom look more inviting. Wood has a calming effect, while stone adds an air of elegance to any design style. Natural materials reflect light and make a room look brighter, which will give your bathroom a luxurious feel. These materials can also give your bathroom some extra warmth on cold days. Types of natural materials can include:
Wood
Bamboo flooring has a simple design that is both elegant and refined. Wood has a calming effect, which makes it perfect for any bathroom. You might have to experiment with different types of wood until you find the one that matches your style best. Rosewood is dark, while teak is more light-colored.
Stone
Bathroom counters made from stone are beautiful and elegant, but they can be costly. If you want to try out stone without breaking the bank, marble tiles are a budget-friendly alternative that will still give your bathroom an expensive look.
Lighting
Natural lighting is very important when designing any room in your house, but this is especially true with a bathroom. With the right enhancements, you can make stunning picture-worthy selfies and photos to post on social media.
When thinking of ways to make your bathroom look expensive, lighting should be one of the first things that come to mind. The amount of natural light coming into your bathroom will depend largely on the size of the room and the positioning of the windows. Make your bathroom look expensive with lighting tricks.
Plants
Nothing gives a bathroom a more luxurious feeling than live plants. Depending on the type of plant, they can also cleanse the air and make it healthier for you to breathe in.
Repaint the Wall
If you feel like your bathroom’s got a bit of a boring vibe going on, try changing the color of the walls. A simple coat of paint can completely transform your room and make it look expensive, but make sure to choose a color that reflects your style.
Try gilded finishes instead of metallic for a more subtle design solution. Rather than having the entire room painted, opt for wall cladding or wallpaper to give your bathroom a luxurious look. Stick to simple tones like gold, silver, or bronze if you want your design solution to blend in with the room instead of taking it over.
To take your bathroom design up a notch, add some trim. There are plenty of ways you can do this. The most popular type is classic wainscoting, where wooden panels are added to the walls. The trim will cover up any ugly seams as well as bring a touch of luxury to the space. Add some wallpaper or tiles near the shower for an extra decorative touch that won’t break the bank. You can also use marble to create an elegant look, even without adding it to your bathroom counters.
Get New Accessories
When it comes to a luxurious bathroom, the details make all the difference. As you’re deciding on how to give your bathroom a luxe feel, pay close attention to everything from taps and towel racks down to things as small as toothbrush holders. Look for modern designs that look expensive without being overly complicated. Try getting new accessories like:
- Bathroom tapware
- Towel rail
- Toilet roll holder
- Hooks for robes, towels, etc.
- Light fixtures
- Sink
- Bathroom mats
- Artwork
- Throw pillows for the floor or bathtub
- Vanity Unit/Shelves
For a more luxurious feel, add wooden shelves to the top of your vanity unit. Fill them with decorative items like candles, plants, and perfume bottles. If you don’t like the idea of having an entire shelf full of things, consider switching out one or two items for a decorative mirror to make your space look more sumptuous.
There are plenty of ways you can design your bathroom to give it a luxurious feel without spending too much money. All you need is a bit of creativity and some time to dedicate to your design.
