    Luxurious Bathrooms to relax and refresh

    Luxurious Bathrooms

    I have never had a bathroom worth writing home about in my years as a renter, so on the rare occasion that I get to travel, I always appreciate a hotel with a clean, well-stocked, and zen bathroom. If I’m lucky enough to have a room with a whirlpool tub, or a walk in shower, it is something I always remember.

    How luxe is that shower!?!

    So how does a hotel take a bathroom to the next level?

    For rooms that house two guests, the minimum in luxury bathrooms should be twin basins and mirrors. Bathrooms boasting marble surfaces, spacious baths and showers with steam or sauna options and mirror cabinets with inbuilt televisions are elements that are sure to impress guests. Whirlpool baths are another luxurious pleasure that come in all shapes and sizes to suit varying room sizes and the corresponding number of occupants.

    Faucets are often underestimated in terms of their impact on user experience and therefore hotels can deliver plenty in regards to this element in the bathroom – just as long as it is still useable.  I hate it when a sink is too shallow to wash my face. In some instances, faucets tie together the entire design  and level of opulence of the room. Designer taps with sensor operation, single lever operation or floor standing options all offer a luxury experience for guests.

    I’d feel like a princess using this bath located in Kenya.

    What do you think of that tree sculpture?

    This Cape Town hotel bathroom couldn’t have a better view.

    Same with this hotel in Capri.

    What makes a hotel stand out for me is to offer indulgent bathing experiences to the same degree that they offer indulgent eating experiences. Who wouldn’t remember a spectacular whirlpool bath tub, spacious enclosures or indulgent walk-in shower?

    Do you remember a hotel bathroom that really stuck in your mind as being absolutely fabulous?

    Our master bath is in desperate need of a facelift.  You can tell the previous owner tried to make it look upscale based on the tile they used, but the execution is so DIY …like, gunky caulk lines DIY.  This winter, painting and caulking our master bath will be a priority project.

    I take baths pretty often in the winter, and there is nothing like a cozy tub!

    A chandelier over the tub! tres chic.  The windows, the marble vanity, the rug, it’s all so gorgeous without trying too hard.

    I adore that tile!

    If you like the spa feel, go for white or natural elements like wood, stone, and foliage.

    This looks like heaven. The small tile, walk in shower, stacks of fresh towels!

    Beautiful rooms to inspire

    We had quite a busy (though fun-filled) weekend so I’m feeling a bit lethargic this morning.  I needed a bit of eye-candy to perk me up and thought I’d share my best Pinterest finds with you.

    A traditional dining room with a country twist.  The simple table and chairs tone down the ornate chandelier and mirror frame.

    Nothing like a gorgeous antique piece or beautiful oriental rug to adorn your entryway.

    A delicious clawfoot tub, ornate crown moulding, and those shutters!

    Another beautiful entryway.  I think the round mirrors are really interesting and a nice change of pace from commonly-used rectangle mirrors.

    Did you notice the bright white subway tile walk-in shower?  I didn’t at first. But WOW.  Looks amazing.

    That gold chandelier is so elegant in it’s simplicity. I think there is a whole separate room for the shower too!

  • Make your bathroom feel more luxurious

    Make your bathroom feel more luxurious

    I’m one of those people who loves a luxurious feeling bathroom, and a hot shower or bath at the end of a long day. I’m guessing we all wish we had a luxury shower. One that’s extra roomy with multiple shower heads and one of those speakers to jam out to music too! Don’t you think a place you visit plenty often during the day should be gorgeous? Agree or not, bathrooms are one of the most expensive things to remodel. So here’s a few pointers to making the shower you have a little more luxurious!

    How amazing is this shower?

    Pick the perfect shower head! If nothing else can be fixed spend a little extra on an amazing shower head. It can make a huge difference in the morning to feel like you are in an expensive shower even if you have to close your eyes. At least it feels good! There are a lot of options available these days that have great pressure, but only use a small amount of water, so try and go the eco-friendly route when you can!

    Change up the paint. Sometimes a new perspective can create a better vibe in the bathroom. Try to stick with clean neutral colors. Those tend to be more soothing in the morning, but if you are a colorful person, stick with pastels! A gloss finish will make walls easier to clean. If you are super brave and really want a luxe look – try a navy blue or black paint.  You might be surprised at how much you like it!
    Another option if you are in an apartment, rental, or have a smaller bathroom would be to change the curtain rod! Most spaces like that go with a shower tub unit and those can make you feel really confined. You can easily find a curved shower curtain rod that gives the shower a little more space!   If you can manage it, a floor to ceiling curtain will really look luxe! When I’m feeling tired of my bathroom, I find that a new shower curtain and bathmat do wonders.


    The last but most important thing you can do to keep your shower feeling luxurious is to keep it clean and clutter free. The less that’s in your space to gather moisture and dust the better.  A vanity with drawers or cabinets is great for storing things off your vanity surface, as is a medicine cabinet.  If you simply must have somethings on the vanity surface, choose products with pretty bottles, or transfer products to pretty bottles.

    It’s amazing what a few changes can do to make a space one that you tolerate daily to one you can’t wait to step into!

  • Absolutely stunning bathrooms

    Absolutely stunning bathrooms

    There is something about a wonderful bathroom. You can shut the door and escape, even if it’s just for a short while. If you’re one for rituals, undoubtedly a couple of yours take place there. For me it’s a space where it’s okay for me to say, “No, you can’t come in,” and enjoy some privacy and personal space. There is nothing like a bath, candlelight, and a good book.

    Through and through I am a fan of white interiors, but there is something so luxurious about a small room painted in such a rich color. My tiny kitchen is navy blue and it makes it feel more expensive than it really is. And that chandelier! To me, anytime there is upholstery in the bathroom it feels elegant to me.

    Love that showerhead! Even if you don’t have the funds to renovate your bathroom, changing out your hardware and faucets can make a huge impact. Mira Showers Shower Accessories is one of several fantastic suppliers. I’m not usually drawn to the industrial look, but this is still clean and elegant. The gold sink hardware is nice to balance it out too. I’m also a fan of the wood paneled ceiling. This bathroom by a fab designer I just discovered – Summer Thornton

    I have a weakness for leaded glass windows or anything that looks like leaded glass. What do you think of the prints hanging over the window molding?

    The master bath in our new home has dual sinks, and I cannot wait! Finally sweetums and I won’t be dancing around the sink both trying to brush our teeth at the same time!

    That black tile is so gorgeous. And the simple glass shower guard doesn’t disrupt from the view. I also LOVE having a window in the shower! I could never have a rain showerhead though, because I don’t wash my hair every time I get in the shower.

    I would prefer to see just one tile size used here, but the vanity top is perfect.

    Even if you don’t have a fancy glass or walk in shower, a lux shower curtain or an ottoman or chair can add a glamorous touch. The pop of color from the rug is cute, too.

    Do you have any tricks to make your bathroom feel more glamorous or restful?
