Reading Time: 5 minutes

The bathroom is one of those areas of our home where we get to spend some quality ‘me’ time. So wouldn’t it be stunning if we could transform this private area into a blissful space?

Here are 9 ideas to give your bathroom a makeover and transform it into a modern luxurious one.

1. Make it Grand

Size matters! Don’t feel guilty about making your bathroom(s) big. In your new home, make sure to make at least one of the bathrooms big during the planning stage itself. Think about a room that can accommodate a bathtub, a separate shower space/cubicle, a good-sized basin counter (2.5 ft x 5 ft) with an equally big vanity, a separate WC area, and a separate laundry cabinet to house your robes, towels, etc.
 
In a renovation project, look to combine your utility or small multipurpose rooms or cover your building setbacks to make the bathroom big. A sum of small & big spaces can be altered to grow the room.

Non-negotiables for a grand bathroom- A long counter with adequate space for a vanity, and separate areas for dry, semi-dry, and wet.

2. Allow natural light inside-

Plan windows, ventilators, and skylights without compromising privacy.

a) Add a skylight- When your bathroom is on the top floor, adding an operable skylight is a great option to drive light and air into the bathroom.

b) Use fluted/frosted glass privacy doors- Where adding light from outside your home isn’t possible, using glazed elements to help the bathroom benefit from borrowing internal light is the next best thing. The easiest way is to incorporate frosted or fluted glass doors.

c) Ensuite bathroom- An en-suite bathroom is connected to a bedroom. The doorway to an en suite bathroom can only be accessed from within the bedroom, making it a private sanctuary. So, making the partition wall using frosted/fluted glass or glass bricks will give way to the light from inside the room.

d) Clerestory windows- High-up, narrow windows effectively bring in a good amount of natural light with a considerable spread into bathrooms.

4. Make room for a sleek basin counter, and marble basins

Elevate your bathroom look with long stone countertops. Indoor plants, handwash dispensers, lotions, and other accessories help usher grandness with a balance of coziness to the bathroom.

5. Introduce vanity to get rid of the clutter

Seek inspiration from multiple design blogs and portals such as Pinterest to get rid of the clutter above the counter. Cupboards and drawers under the sink; or open shelves; or deep organizer drawers, there are plenty of options. Now, store the extra toiletries or the extra set of towels in the vanity below your counter.

a. Mirrors- Small readymade mirrors are a thing of the past now. Frameless mirrors or mirrors with frames; playing with lights around mirrors; also, mirrors covering a whole wall or a sufficient chunk of a wall. There is a lot you can do to make your bathroom look trendy & modern. Mirrors reflect light making the bathroom look bigger than what it is.

b. Play with lights- Light up the niches, the mirror sides, and under the counter. Wall scone lights around the mirror and the counter gives the bathroom a traditional yet royal feel.
Cove lights in the ceiling and LED spotlights are options that can be incorporated your bathroom.

c. Vertical shower drains- Yes, shower drains can add to the premium look of your bathrooms! Long vertical shower drains are in trend nowadays and for the right reasons. It is sleek, yet extremely functional. These shower drains help drain out more water from the bathroom floors very efficiently.

6. Rain showers, thermostatic mixers and diverters

Perfect for a fuss-free and relaxing shower, the rain showers give you the feeling of transporting to under a waterfall. After a long stressful day, this is a perfect way to rejuvenate yourself.

7. Shower cubicles
