Every homeowner wants their bathroom to feel chic and expensive, but it’s not always practical to spend an arm and a leg on bathroom tiles and fancy faucets. Luckily, there are a few key features that can really help make a bathroom look stylish and luxurious, without the hefty price tag. Here is a selection of luxurious yet cost-effective touches you can add to your bathroom, for that chic, hotel-style look that everyone wants to achieve.

 

Start with Reflective Surfaces

 

When you enter a bathroom, the first thing you notice is the reflective surfaces. Whether it’s a wall of beautiful high-shine tiles, a surface made up of granite or a bold mirror stood proud in the centre of the room, the reflective areas will always catch your eye. By introducing reflective materials to your bathroom, you can also create a sense of space, allowing the natural or artificial lighting to bounce around the room and create a bright, fresh feel.

 

Introduce Some Lavish Lighting

 

Lighting is the main contributing factor to a rooms atmosphere and feel, therefore it’s really important to get it right. When it comes to the bathroom, you have plenty of opportunity to play around with the lighting features. Introducing spotlights and down-lights are ideal for creating a luxurious, relaxing atmosphere that is ideal within a bathroom. This style of lighting also enables you to spread the light evenly throughout the room, with it bouncing from the reflective surfaces and creating a delicate glow throughout.

 

Add a Bold Bath Tub

 

There’s nothing better after a long, tiring day, than to retire to the bathroom for a hot, relaxing bubble bath. There are so many different styles of bath tub available, from grand tubs to jacuzzi styles, so you can invest in the right style of bath for you. Having your own bath is a great way of being able to pamper yourself and switch off from the rest of the world, giving you your own little sanctuary to escape too!

 

Practical yet Pretty Furniture

 

Dependant on the style of your bathroom, introducing some practical furniture will really help you get the most out of the room. Whilst some bathroom furniture can be dull, there are some beautiful pieces that will add a luxurious touch to your interiors, whilst still providing you with substantial storage for your essential items. Whether you opt for a stylish chest to store your towels or a shelving unit for your favourite skincare items, you can add character and style to any bathroom with some trendy furniture pieces.

 

Strong Scented Candles

 

Candles are a staple item for any bathroom. Not only do they give a beautiful glow that reflects off all surfaces, they also have a fresh, personal aroma that you can use to make the room feel welcoming and relaxing. With so many different candle scents, you can control exactly what you want your bathroom to smell like and create the ideal atmosphere.
