1. A luxurious tub will serve you well - If you have the space and want a tub, take some time evaluating your options. Even without water in them, the look of a beautiful bath really makes you feel like you’re somewhere luxurious.

2. Incorporate a few statement pieces - Basins and tapware can now be statements within themselves. You can have a big spout off the floor or off the wall that looks really sharp and clean. You can also go with Brushed Brass if you wanted to jazz it up. Just run that finish through your whole space and from room to room, to create continuity throughout your home. Similarly, basins no longer need to be buried within your vanity. Many are opting for above-counter or bench mount basins, in a variety of unique shapes or materials.

3. Control your heating for comfort - Bathroom heating is certainly a luxury, but if you’re doing a large renovation and you have the budget, it’s definitely worth considering underfloor heating or heated lights. Underfloor heating is a feature people love to see if they’re buying a house. Some underfloor heaters even come with timers so you can set it to come on 15 minutes before you normally have your morning shower. This way you can get out of bed and walk straight onto a warm tiled surface, which is so luxurious.

4. Play with your colour scheme. There are a lot of feature walls going on at the moment. Thanks to advancements in the colours of ceramics and tapware, there’s no need to be boxed into one colour for your bathroom anymore. There’s a lot of people loving full black feature walls and offsetting that with a tapware style that stands out against the dark backdrop. Dark statement walls with textured tiles are a popular trend. Black tiles around a LED mirror and vanity can provide a dramatic, luxe-looking feature.

5. Give yourself some space to shower. Even if you’re working with a small bathroom space overall, gone are the days when you have to accept a small and pokey shower. If you’re working with a small square footage, consider if you can rearrange the space or sacrifice in other areas, such as a more slimline vanity or storage solution.

6. Use creative materials. Raw, natural and textured materials are popular in bathrooms right now. Timber vanities are one way to work this into your space to create a bit of warmth, and can be complemented with timber towel racks or shelving, woven baskets and other ‘organic’ accessories.
