Whether you’re planning your dream bathroom or already in the middle of a renovation, luxury is all about enhancing comfort and elevating the everyday. While it means something different to everyone, true luxury goes beyond the basics to create a space that feels both beautiful and indulgent. Here are a few standout features to inspire your vision for your bathroom.
1. Double Shower
Spacious and stylish, a double shower offers the ultimate in convenience and indulgence—perfect for solo relaxation or sharing. Multiple adjustable showerheads can deliver a customized experience, from targeted sprays to full-body immersion. For a sleek, modern touch, Arlene uses more than one adjustable showerheads to deliver a customized experience, along with a curbless design that blends seamlessly into the rest of the bathroom. Double showers have been apart of Arlene’s bathroom design for many years now.
2. Freestanding Soaking Tub
Freestanding tubs are a hallmark of luxury bathrooms, especially when paired with a shower in a unified wet room layout. Set the tub by a window for natural light and serene views, or enhance the space with a nearby ledge for candles, books, and bath essentials. Arlene loves taking advantage of the space a luxurious bathroom can provide by placing a freestanding tub either in the middle of the room or near a window.
3. Glass Accents & Paneling
Glass is a timeless choice for bringing elegance and openness to a luxury bathroom. Clear or frosted glass panels can divide areas without closing off the space—offering both function and visual appeal. To add depth and texture, Arlene incorporates decorative wall paneling in complementary tones or finishes. Framed windows and mirrors further elevate the design, providing a polished architectural detail that ties the whole look together.
4. High-End Mirrors
A mirror is more than a necessity—it’s an opportunity to make a design statement. In a luxury setting, a mirror can enhance the entire bathroom experience. Look for mirrors with elevated features like:
- Integrated LED lighting
- Adjustable brightness
- Built-in defogging technology
- Hidden cabinet for extra storage behind mirror
Arlene’s favorite aspect of luxurious mirrors is the addition of back-lit LED lighting because it gives a soft-flow of ambient lighting. It also provides a floating effect on the mirror, an important aspect of modern design.
5. Private At-Home Spa
Why go to a spa when you can create one at home? Bring these spa features to your daily routine:
- A personal hot tub
- Dry or infrared sauna
- Steam room
- Massage room
- Changing area with robes and slippers
Want to level up the experience? Incorporate a waterfall shower inside the sauna or steam room for a quick, stylish cool-down. Arlene knows that natural elements like plants and rocks bring a relaxing environment in a very low-cost way. Not only does she incorporates plants and trees within a luxury bathroom, but also in living rooms of homes.
6. Heated Towel Warmers
Nothing says comfort like wrapping yourself in a warm towel post-bath or shower. Sleek, wall-mounted towel warmers—like the minimalist VOLA design—appear to float against the wall, offering both function and style.Choose from customizable finishes and configurations to complement your fixtures. Features to look for include:
- Temperature control for personalized comfort
- Built-in timers for convenience
- Smart home integration for pre-heated towels for your schedule
Arlene can’t express how much a heated towel can transform your experience in your bathroom due to its comfort and functionality. She can talk from her own experience—as she even has towel warmers in her own home!
7. Radiant Heat Flooring
Heated flooring adds both comfort and value to a luxury bathroom, offering a spa-like escape every day. It eliminates the shock of cold tiles underfoot, especially in colder months. Beyond comfort, it’s a smart investment that blends modern technology with timeless luxury.
- Ultimate comfort where you can finally be comfortable during winter mornings and nights
- Installed underneath the floor, its invisible design keeps the bathroom clean and uncluttered
- Its even heating provides consistent warmth across the room without noisy vents or uneven heat
- Energy efficient because it uses less energy than traditional heating systems when properly zoned
Arlene finds that once her clients experience the comfort of radiant heat in a bathroom in their new bathrooms, it’s hard to live without it.
