CREATE YOUR OWN LUXURIOUS
RETREAT WITH THESE
NOTEWORTHY STYLE TIPS.
Over the past ten years we’ve seen
bathrooms shift from purely functional
space to luxury retreats that are no longer
just for hygiene. The modern bathroom is as
much a place to relax, get comfortable and
enjoy downtime as it is to brush your teeth. As
this room becomes more useful, homeowners
are paying closer attention to fine details like
lighting, tile, materials and finishes. Twenty
years ago people rarely wanted to “show off the
bathroom,” but these days, it can be the star of
the house.
If you are thinking of redecorating, here are
a few bathrooms that we think have star power
and the design trends that make them shine.

Clean & Refined Just like the spas we love, a bathroom
with clean lines and zero clutter provides a peaceful
sensory experience. But refined doesn’t mean cold and
clinical. Try warm neutrals with a pop of bold color and a
mix of natural textures and objects.
Vintage Vibe A vintage approach to design is still all
the rage whether it is conveyed through mirrors, colors,
light fixtures, exposed plumbing or tile patterns. The
good news–this trend is definitely timeless.
Keep the Tub If you like to soak, the freestanding tub is
essential for a spa-like atmosphere. Look for tubs to be
situated directly inside a large shower or in a separate
zen-like area–possibly with a view–away from bathroom
traffic.
