Create a Luxurious Bathroom without a Renovation

Bathroom renovations are some of the most expensive renovations we see in a home.  With some guidance, you can create a luxurious bathroom without the headaches of the renovation process. Here are some tips to achieve a high-end look without taking on a full-gut renovation project:

1. Replace your Vanity

Modernizing your vanity cabinet and countertop can make a huge impact on the overall look of your bathroom.  Consider something that is simple, clean, and modern in its look, especially if you’re working with older tile in the space.

2. Upgrade Fixtures

Upgrading fixtures can make a big difference as well. Choose modern stylish faucets, showerheads, and hardware in contemporary finishes like black, copper, or brass. 

3. Customize your Mirror

Bring your space from basic to chic by getting rid of the contractor-grade, plain-jane vanity mirror and installing a decorative mirror with some style and personality.   

4. Add Accessories

Invest in stylish accessories like a bath tray, baskets for towels, and nice-looking canisters and trays or dishes for bathroom products.  Adding these thoughtful pieces will help create a spa-like space.

5. Consider Brass

Brass is elegant and refined, and really brings the space up a notch.  You don’t need to upgrade all of your fixtures to brass, but consider adding some brass details or accessories into the space to give you the luxurious touch you’re missing.

6. Lighting Upgrades

Upgrade your bathroom lighting to create a luxurious ambiance. Think outside the box - a statement chandelier, sconces, or wall lights. Including layers of lighting will enhance the overall look and functionality of the space.

7. Natural Elements

Incorporate natural elements like wood, stone, and green plants to create a spa-like atmosphere. Wooden accessories, stone countertops, and indoor plants will bring in warmth and texture.

8. Organize and Declutter

A well-organized and clutter-free bathroom looks more luxurious. Use baskets, bins, and trays to keep items organized. Decluttering and organizing can instantly improve the overall look and feel.

9. Include Art and Decor

Bring some personality and luxury into your bathroom by including framed artwork, photography, or decor that you love. Decorative items like candles, vases, and trays can also enhance the space.

10. Upgrade Textiles

Upgrade your bathroom textiles for a more luxurious feel. Invest in high-quality towels, bath mats, and shower curtains. Choose plush, absorbent materials in coordinating colors.

11. Incorporate a Rug

An often overlooked item in the bathroom is the rug.  Consider an area rug with beautiful colors, textures, and patterns instead of the traditional terry cloth bath mats.  Adding a luxurious rug to the space will certainly add personality and sophistication.

12. Paint and Refresh

A fresh coat of paint can transform your bathroom. Choose neutral or soft colors for a timeless look, or a dark neutral gray to create a moody atmosphere. Refreshing grout lines, re-caulking, and cleaning tiles can also make a big impact.

13. Bring in Flowers

Flowers bring life and joy to any space and the bathroom is no different.  A pop of color or greenery really creates a spa-like feeling in the space.

14. Extra Seating

Including a cute stool, whether wood or upholstered, adds another dimension in the space and makes the space feel luxe, while also providing a place to sit or extra surface for decorative items.
