Luxury Bathroom Design Features You Can’t Live Without

Top Luxury Bathroom Design Features

Most people spend a large portion of their day in the bathroom.

That’s why remodeling your bathroom is worth the time and effort. 

Upgrading your bathroom to be more luxurious is the best way to incorporate luxury into your life.

With a luxury bathroom, you can feel clean, fresh, and pampered every single day. 

Want to give yourself the ultimate luxury bathroom makeover?

Use these 11 luxury bathroom design features to ensure opulence and comfort every day.

1. Heated Floors 

If you want a luxury bathroom experience, you need heated floors.

Stepping onto cold tiles with warm feet can instantly ruin your opulent bathroom experience, no matter how gorgeous the rest of the room is. 

Install radiant heat floors in your bathroom and enjoy stepping on to warm tiles after your bath or shower.

They are surprisingly inexpensive and easy to install.

2. In-Drawer Outlets 

Luxury is synonymous with opulent convenience.

An in-drawer outlet is a perfect addition to any luxury bathroom, making it easy to use hairdryers, electric toothbrushes, electric razors, or any other plug-in gadget. 

Hiding the outlet in a drawer keeps countertops clean and neat, removing all potential fire hazards.

You can place one in a vanity cabinet or a medicine cabinet, depending on your needs. 

3. Functional Statement Lighting 

Inexperienced designers will often add statement lights without considering their functionality.

The trick to great bathroom lighting is to use statement lighting fixtures that are the right balance of beautiful and useful. 

If you want to add a statement chandelier in the center of your ceiling, do it!

Just don’t forget to add functional recessed lighting too.

That way, you can adequately light the room without compromising on aesthetics. 

Always add lights on either side of a mirror to avoid unflattering shadows on your face.

Use dimmable lightbulbs so you can dim the lights for a cozy candlelight-like bath.

4. Shower Niche 

These days, very few luxury bathrooms are complete without a shower niche.

These recessed shelves are the perfect place to keep shampoo, conditioner, and body soap. 

Make sure the dimensions of your shower niche are able to accommodate the number of products you typically use in the shower. 

Shower niches are a great place to introduce contrast to your bathroom’s design with an accent or complementary color tile. 

5. Innovative, Discreet Storage Solutions 

No home or bathroom is complete without adequate storage.

But bulky, obvious storage solutions aren’t exactly luxurious…

Luxury bathrooms have all the functionality of several closets as well as the uncluttered, organized aesthetics of a minimalistic bathroom.

Incorporate a mixture of closed, drawer, cabinet, or niche storage solutions.

Make sure you have enough space to house towels, hand towels, extra toilet paper, face and body products, bathroom cleaning products, and anything else you use in the bathroom. 

Include a hidden hamper to keep dirty clothes or towels from ruining the bathroom’s aesthetic. 

6. Visual Focal Point 

For any space to feel intentional and eye-catching, it needs a visual focal point.

This “wow” moment is the first thing that catches your eye when you walk into the room, and it adds a sense of grandeur to the space. 

These modern bathroom remodeling ideas give you an idea of how to build a solid design base for any design aesthetic.

Once you’ve built a strong base, choose one aspect of the room you want to highlight. That’s your focal point!

Make sure something in your bathroom’s design stands out from the rest of the features.

Play around with the scale of an object by including a larger-than-life mirror, sparkling chandelier, or a commanding free-standing tub.

You can also use color to draw attention to your focal point, with an accent vanity, wallpapered accent wall, or patterned tile.

7. High-Quality Plumbing Fixtures 

A luxury bathroom doesn’t just look good; it needs to be effortlessly functional as well.

When choosing faucets and other plumbing fixtures for your luxury bathroom, don’t judge them on looks alone.

Ensure the inner components of your fixtures are up to standard as well.  

Poorly made fixtures contain plastic gaskets and pieces that will break down within a couple of years.

This leaves you with poor water flow and other performance issues – not luxury.

High-quality plumbing fixtures ensure a luxury appearance and experience for years to come. 

8. Free-Standing Tub 

A soaker tub is the epitome of a luxurious bathroom experience. 

Free-standing tubs are available in hundreds of shapes and materials, giving you complete design flexibility while designing your bathroom.

For modern bathroom designs, opt for a sleek tub with an angular silhouette and no feet.

For more traditional bathrooms, clawfoot tubs are the height of style. 

Be sure to include a handheld sprayer to elevate every bath, and style the room with a useful bath caddy to hold soaps and bath oils.

9. Tub Room 

If your home has the space for it, a room dedicated to your tub is a must-have.

A tub room is an offset extension of the main bathroom.

They often have large windows or skylights to let in a ton of natural light. 

One of our favorite bathroom design ideas is to turn your tub room into an even bigger feature by adding columns as design features or draperies to either side of the entrance.

10. Multi-Head Shower 

True luxury is not needing to turn inside the shower to rinse off soap from your back.

Multi-head showers add an extra touch of luxury to something you do every day, elevating a simple shower into a decadent and restorative experience. 

11. Heated Towel Rack 

There’s nothing more comforting than wrapping yourself in a warm towel after a refreshing bath or shower.

With a heated towel rack, you can enjoy that comfort daily. 

Heated towel racks come in a variety of materials and finishes to match the rest of your bathroom fixtures.

There are wall-mounted racks or racks set on the floor.
