Begin by asking yourself what you want in a bathroom design. After you’ve thought of a layout, then decide on storage. Choose an overall style for your cabinetry, fixtures and fittings and invest in high-end materials. Keep your color palette to a minimum and accessorize sparingly with luxe details. The overall feeling should be one of calmness that envelops you in elegant comfort.

Declutter Your Bathroom Design in Style

The best way to declutter any space is by having adequate storage. Decide what you need to store and what you’d like to conceal or display. Your bath design expert can plan custom storage tailored to your every need. A high-end bathroom design should be as uncluttered as possible, with internal storage solutions to ensure that even the smallest items are compartmentalized within stylish bathroom cabinets.

Built-in outlets and charging stations mean that small styling devices can be neatly stored in, plugged in, and operated from your vanity. Mirror-fronted storage has the added advantage of making a space feel bigger as well as the practical aspect of using it to get ready.

Niche storage is a sleek option but keep contents to a minimum to avoid a cluttered look and use attractive containers to organize loose items. The same pertains to open shelving, which should be carefully curated and dusted regularly. Only use luxe candles and quality towels to fill open shelves to instantly raise the bar of your bathroom remodel.

Go For High-End Hardware

Metal is really having a moment in bath design, with a wide range of metallic finishes and accessories offering the perfect accent for any style bathroom design. Chrome and steel are still popular choices, but warmer metals like copper and brass are on the rise. These warm tones stand out and take your hardware from functional to luxurious. Brass can be especially opulent, but keep it modern in a brushed, sleek finish.

Dark matte fixtures work well against white backgrounds such as classic marble or wood. You can pick up dark accents in other parts of your bath design with trendy crittall windows, doors or shower screens. This Art Deco style involves metal framed glass and brings elegance and personality to any space.

Your hardware, faucets, sconces, hooks and frames don’t all have to be identical, but make sure they all work together. If you want to streamline things completely, then opt for sophisticated handleless cabinets to complement any design and focus on quality cabinet material, introducing detail elsewhere in your design.

Splash Out on a Sink

Choosing a sink for your bath remodel is not as simple as it may seem. You have to consider style, functionality, installation, and budget. There have never been more options available though as materials become more varied. Basins with ripples, colored matte finishes, pastels and gold rims are all emerging along with imitation wood, cement, and glass. If you do opt for a classic material, keep your lines curved to bring softness to your design.

Floating vanities bring a luxurious feel to your bath remodel, as they are synonymous with spa style bathroom design. Their clean lines and airiness simply open up your floorspace and give a calm feeling to your luxury retreat. Waterfall countertops are also a high-end option, falling down to a floor on one or both ends of the vanity cabinet, in luxury materials such as natural stone, quartz, or hardwood. If your style is less streamlined, then try a clawfoot vanity with gold faucets and sconces for all-out old-world glam.

Whatever material you choose, faucets are becoming more hi-tech with impressive features such as motion sensors, hydra-powered temperature and flow control, and integrated spray wands. Your remodel can embrace all luxury extras with the latest technological advances, regardless of the style you favor.

Amp Up Each Corner of Your Bathroom Design

Effective design incorporates lighting throughout a bath remodel. Ensure you have strong lighting around your mirror, but make sure it doesn’t create a glare or shadows when you look in the mirror. Integrated lighting behind a floating mirror can accentuate the wall material and make your mirror into a statement piece.

Decide on decorative and ambient lighting in your floor and ceiling, over shelving and pictures, and even around your tub. Dimmer switches mean you can change settings at any time, especially if they’re voice-controlled or operated from your smart device. Make your windows as large as possible and incorporate skylights to increase natural light. For a real touch of on-trend luxury, choose statement lighting in one part of your design, such as over your tub. Outsized drum pendants and glitzy chandeliers look stunning in a bath design, so don’t be afraid to go for it, balancing the look with other understated fixtures.

Inject Personality and Elegance with Color

The colors you choose for your bath design set its tone. Bathroom paint technology has infinitely improved in terms of resistance to stains, bacteria and mildew and there are many colors and finishes. An all-white bathroom is a timeless choice but white can be used in conjunction with other colors and still feel crisp and clean. Spa-style colors such as beige, tan and brown are popular, especially when paired with white. The same goes for opulent shades such as navy, purple or red. Gray and green are also increasing in popularity along with blue, pink and pastel tones.

Colors are definitely warmer in this year’s bathroom design so from brass accents to red walls, don’t be afraid to introduce some heat to your bathroom color scheme. Wood panels and natural stone slabs are other ways to add warmth. Marble is seeing a huge resurgence and “book-matching” marble slabs are in vogue in exclusive properties. Striped wallpaper is also on the rise and tiles are seeing a massive transformation into large scale formats and interesting shapes and patterns laid in new ways. These trends mean bath design is embracing personality, so your bathroom can be different while still being high-end.

Soak in Splendor

Tubs are essential in a bath remodel focused on indulgence. Sculptural pieces, such as asymmetrical tubs, are becoming more popular and make a stunning centerpiece for a luxurious bathroom. Freestanding, flat bottomed tubs are the most popular choice as their clean lines suit spa-style bath designs. Aside from traditional white, tubs are now appearing in concrete and wood with added features such as thermal controls, massage jets and speakers. Why not raise your bath up on a platform in front of a window with a view? Relax with your bathing essentials on a cocktail table beside you or on a sleek bathing caddy that sits across your tub. Take time to make your luxury bath design a sanctuary instead of a utilitarian space.

Transform Your Shower into a Hydro-Therapy Zone

Make your shower a truly indulgent experience by availing of some of the many innovations on offer. Adjustable shower heads, for example, come with multiple massage jets in on-trend finishes like brass. You could install a waterfall or rainfall showerhead over it for a therapeutic and rejuvenating shower experience. Design a walk-in shower for a chic nod to universal design, making it accessible and luxurious. You could also add wooden or built-in seating for spa-style relaxation. Incorporate technology such as timers, voice-activated controls for lighting, temperature, and speakers. Your shower can now go from functional to transformative.

Invest in a Good Foundation

Flooring is an essential part of your bathroom remodel. To give your renovation a high-end look, invest in quality materials that are both durable and stylish. Hybrid floors are entering the domestic arena after making an impact in stores and restaurants. Why not incorporate two materials in your bath design? The sleekness of tiles juxtaposes well with the warmth of wood. Or try industrial cement alongside natural stone. Porcelain and ceramic floor tiles are ever-popular, being durable, low-maintenance and able to imitate many other materials. Include underfloor heating at the planning stage to add comfort to any flooring material and ensure your bath design is a haven of luxury.

How to Add the Finishing Touch

When your bathroom renovation is complete it’s tempting to add everything you can think of to personalize it. Hold back though and consider each addition carefully to avoid clutter. Each item should be made to the highest standard to reflect the look you’re trying to achieve. Plants purify the air and add texture, color and depth if placed at different heights. You can have as many as you like if you love the impact of bringing nature into your home but remember to maintain them to keep them healthy. Upholstered seating such as a pouf or vanity chair adds a real touch of decadence. Window treatments can change the look of a room and add polish. Go for floaty drapes or a classic shutter, depending on your style. A large rug in a section of a spacious bathroom, such as a Persian or shag pile, brings softness and pattern to a stark bath design. As with all fabrics in a bathroom, keep your remodel well ventilated and they will provide drama and elegance for years to come.
