Many people overlook bathrooms but they are one of the key rooms in your home. Before beginning to design a bathroom it’s important to consider who the bathroom is for and how often it will be used. Will it be a frequent family space, an occasional bathroom for guests or as an everyday en-suite? Consider the space around you - if you have room, a separate shower and bath will give you the best of both worlds.
MINIMALIST DESIGN
Give careful consideration to colour schemes and your choice of tiles in order to achieve that luxury look. You can make this space appear larger, and therefore more luxurious, with large tiles in a calming neutral shade. A minimalist approach will add a sophisticated touch so it’s a good idea to factor in an alcove within the shower area, which will keep your lotions and potions neatly stacked away. Invest in a capacious vanity unit and a mirrored cabinet, don’t forget mist-resistant mirrored glass for the perfect finishing touch, and you will have a place for everything.
Mosaic tiles make a perfect backdrop in a shower area - glass versions are particularly beautiful and recreate the effect you would find in a luxury hotel. The shower design you choose will also have an impact, a large overhead shower will not only look great aesthetically but also feel luxurious every time you use it.
MOOD LIGHTING
Lighting can often be an afterthought but for a designer this forms a crucial part of the planning process. A combination of task, mood and feature lighting will all contribute to a bathroom sanctuary. LED down-lights are perfect for use all over the bathroom, while low-level, mood lighting will create a softer approach. LED lights look fabulous on shelves in alcoves and along plinths and you can put these on a separate switch or remote sensor so in the evening you can enjoy low-level ambient light. The key is to have different options, so you can take your pick according to the look that you want to achieve.
Now you have your luxurious bathroom scheme, keeping it clean will help maintain the luxury feel for years to come. Choose a wall-hung toilet with a fully removable seat to for easy cleaning, mirrors with demister pads and shower panels impregnated with limescale preventers.
