Tips and Tricks to Make Your Bathroom Look Luxe

Most of us may have watched reality shows showing the grand abode of celebrities and famous personalities. We may have been awestruck by how fabulous their rooms like, even the bathrooms. While elegant designer bathrooms are inspiring to look at, we may not have enough budget to recreate such a dazzling design when the time comes that we need to renovate our own bathrooms. That doesn’t mean that our bathroom remodeling project should be generic unimaginative. There are many tricks that can be applied to get a luxurious bathroom look. We’ll share some of them here.

Pimp Out Your Lights

One of the simplest tricks you can apply to your bathroom is to redefine the lighting. If you have installed lights above or near the mirror, try a playful idea of installing sconces near the mirror. Pendant lights also give your bathroom a luxurious look. Since floor space is essential in bathrooms, you can focus on making a luxurious impact overhead by installing a flush mount chandelier. You still retain the bathroom’s physical space while still looking awesome.

Choose Gray to Achieve a Classic Luxe Look

Gray has become the new white when it comes to the preferred bathroom color. The reason is due to the versatility of this color. Not only does it give a soothing effect, it is easy to match with trimmings and fixtures in the bathroom. It goes well with wood and silver pieces, which are common in luxury bathrooms. When coupled with lighting and some accessories, your bathroom is sure to achieve a high-end luxe look.

Get a Spa-inspired Look

One of the most expensive bathrooms derive their inspiration from spas. Simple and neutral colors are the favorites of spa-inspired bathrooms due to their relaxing effects. Going for a monochromatic color scheme is a simple way of achieving a spa vibe for your bathroom. Pastel and light colors, especially shades of blue give off a relaxing and elegant atmosphere.

Integrate Gold and Metallic Accents

Brass or any other gold or silver-toned metal can give your bathroom a feeling of elegance and warmth. Choose the right shade for your gold accents to accentuate freshness and give new life to your bathroom. Brushed gold fixtures can give that effect to your bathroom. If you prefer minimal renovation while still achieving the same golden luxe look, you can add metallic or gold accent pieces like soap dishes, waste baskets and towel holder. They are less expensive than new fixtures and they don’t take up valuable space.

Be Creative with Mirrors

Mirrors can do wonders to any living space, even in the bathrooms. Mirrors not only make your room space look bigger, they also give your room a glam touch. When applying changes to your bathroom, you can add an unusual mirror, preferable a large one with an interesting shape or finish such as gold, chrome, tortoise shell or Moroccan. Not only do large or oversized mirrors add visual space, they also give a luxurious atmosphere.

There are many creative and affordable tips and tricks that can make your bathroom come alive with elegance. All you need to do is look at your bathroom’s current state and look for areas where you can add glamorous replacements. If you can’t afford a total renovation for now, adding touches and hints of luxury and style to your bathroom can change its overall visual appeal. You still get that luxe look with minimal changes and without having to break the bank.
