subject: Several Steps To A Luxury Bathroom (1) [print this page] A luxurious bathroom invites you to come in and spend some time in it. Most people aren't quite sure how they can go about creating that perfect bathroom, though, and spend their time poring over design magazines and planning. Just what does it take to turn an ordinary room into an extra-ordinary one?To really create the perfect environment for your daily routines, you need to maximize the space you have and be sure to include the little things that make a bathroom comfortable. In the following are 5 steps to guide you:
1 Start with Color
Choosing a color scheme at the very beginning of your project will allow the entire room to become a coordinated space. Start with the walls of the bathroom. It's a good idea to avoid white, which is one of the dullest colors around. A soft, soothing color will help the room become a luxurious haven, while a brighter tone will tend to energize and create eagerness.
2 Keep it Clutter Free
Any small room will feel cluttered if you have everything out and in sight. That's why it's a great idea to tuck everything except the necessities into a vanity or stylish cupboard. Things that need to be out include soap and towels, but really, everything else can be stored.
3 Make it Easier to Perform Tasks
Many men prefer to shave in the shower, since it provides the ideal environment for this task. Unfortunately, a mirror is needed and these tend to fog up during a hot shower. However, you can invest in a fogless mirror that mounts on a pull out arm right in the shower stall. Keeping a stylish shower rack where you can keep things like soap, shampoo and other toiletries in neat order is also helpful. It makes it easy to keep things where they belong, as well, instead of lined up precariously on the edge of the tub.
4 Set the Mood
Music and scent are just two ways to completely change the mood of a room. Since there is such high humidity in the bathroom, you'll want to invest in a waterproof shower radio, which can be attached to the shower wall, allowing for great music while you bathe.
5 Make It Worth Your Time
Some showers are so tepid and have such poor pressure that it isn't even worth spending more than the necessary amount of time in the shower. For a truly luxurious bathroom, the shower and tub should be something that makes you want to stay forever.
How you go about this is entirely up to you. An instant hot water heater will make it possible to spend hours under the hot tub, while multiple showerheads can be a wonderfully relaxing experience. For the tub, you may want to install one with jets to increase bathing pleasure.Creating a luxurious bathroom takes time. You'll need to assemble all the bits and pieces that make it a special room worth going into and spending some time in. However, the end result will be well worth the effort.
