Your bathroom is a sanctuary. You don't want to feel grossed out while taking a shower; you want to look forward to cool clean tile under your feet, soft towels, and luxurious soaps. While part of it is keeping your bathroom clean, which can be hard for many to do, another comes from treating yourself to the best. Read on to get a better sense of what you need in your bathroom to make it comfortable and sumptuous. 1. Ceramic Tiles: Ceramic tile is a great way to increase the opulence of your bathroom. Subway ceramic tiles look good, or you can choose more high end glass tiles to create a shower mosaic. There are lots of options when it comes to tile floors and glass tiles in your shower. It helps to have one color throughout to make the room look cleaner. White, cream, gray, or blue are all good colors. 2. Linens: You should really invest in some nice towels. Thick, fluffy ones are better than cheaper smaller ones. Don't throw your old ones away; put them in your closet. You'll need them eventually. 3. Soaps and Candles: Quality soap will make your skin feel better when you clean it, and prevent it from drying out. The same goes for your shampoo and conditioner and other health and beauty products. Some aromatherapy is a good idea too. 4. Fireplace: If you really want a luxury bathroom, you need a fireplace. Not only does it make for a romantic bubble bath, but it can keep the room much warmer during the colder months. 5. Heated Floors and Towels: If you're going to have luxury, you should have a heated towel rack. Few things are better than a warm towel greeting you after a steamy shower and the cool air of the outside bathroom. And if you're doing a remodel, heated floors make for a highly pleasurable bathroom experience. 6. Tub: You should have a Jacuzzi tub with jets so you can really relax and give your aching muscles a rest. Claw footed tubs remain popular also. 7. Shower: A pressurized shower head can be a great addition to your morning routine. Clear shower doors make your walk-in shower look even larger. And if you're doing an entire remodel, dual heads from the ceiling will make you feel like you're showering under a warm tropical waterfall. Steam showers are popular also, with their benches, they transform your bathroom into a traditional steam room, which helps to remove dirt and oil from your pores. With some light music, lights and scented candles, you will feel like you're in a spa. 8. Appliances: Mini-fridges are great for keeping wine at the right temperature while you're soaking in the tub. And flat screen TVs allow you to watch TV or a movie during a bath. Even if you're on a budget and only plan on changing one aspect of your bathroom, any of these options will help to create a more pleasurable and luxurious bathroom experience.
