The bathroom is probably the only space in a home where we are mostly alone, by ourselves and with our thoughts. Thus, the time we spend there is cherished, valued, and loved. Though a bathroom of course is a place where functionality is of the utmost importance, it can also be the space where we can relax and pamper ourselves without feeling guilty. By designing and embellishing the bathroom with certain, specific luxury elements we can create the kind of space that offers a sense of serenity and wellbeing!

The following are some tips by interior designer Annette Frommer that will help you create a lavish bathroom 

Marble


According to Frommer “Marble is a staple in any luxury design especially in bathrooms as it provides a sense of opulence and sophistication, as well as being moisture resistant and strong. The stone, with its natural veins, shades, textures, colors and shine creates a three- dimensional sense of space which is stunning”. Marble then is truly a stone to be revered and can be used for the floors as well as the walls. When you take into account the sculptural quality of the stone and the craftsmanship of professional workmanship then there is no material better than marble to deliver sheer luxury.

Chandeliers

Frommer adores chandeliers  “A chandelier in a bathroom makes a statement- it just cannot be ignored. A chandelier adds an air of grace and sophistication that instantly elevates the look of a bathroom.”

It is important to take into account the size of the bathroom space when choosing a chandelier – the size of the chandelier needs to be in proper proportion to the size of the space otherwise it will look odd.

Freestanding bathtubs are a must for any luxury bathroom, there is something striking about these tubs that come in an array of colors, shapes and sizes. They not only look gorgeous but are also fun and so very pampering. A free standing tub evokes a calming atmosphere that enhances the sense of luxury. Annette Frommer is partial to free standing bathtubs, especially to curved bathtubs believing that “there is something pleasing to the eye about a curved bathtub. It boasts grace and style, and is the embodiment of classic refinement”.

Color scheme

Choosing the right color scheme is extremely important when designing your luxury bathroom. There are so many options, and you have to know what you love. The following are some color palettes that Frommer likes to work with. In her words -

“Grey - if your dream is a traditional yet understated luxury bathroom then grey in its many lighter shades is perfect for you. It can be matched with beige, white and soft gold for that luxurious understated impact.

Pale blue/aqua and white - this is a bathroom color scheme that adds a romantic vibe. If all the fixtures (sink, tub, shower and toilet) are in white these enhance the minimalism of a modern space and calmly contrast against the pale blue/ aqua hues. 


Whites, creams, beiges and wood - this color scheme provides a fresh, light and bright feel. The wood adds a touch of chic.
