Your master bathroom should be as luxurious as it is functional. We’re looking at 4 essentials for a luxurious master bathroom.

Whether you’re focused on getting clean, or soaking up the bubbles with a good book, your bathroom is where you go for absolute relaxation.

A great master bathroom should feel like a luxurious spa getaway right in your own home.

From luxe options to affordable accents, you can make your bathroom into the calming sanctuary you’ve always dreamed of. Turn your master bathroom into relaxation central by learning these four essentials for a luxurious master bathroom.

A Luxurious Shower or Bath

When it comes to designing a luxurious master bath, your tub and shower are going to make all the difference. When you go for a bath, you want to make sure your whole body can become immersed in the water. Jet or claw-footed tubs add that extra elegance to any bathing area.

High-end homes are decked out with amazing ‘mood reading’ showers that radiate different colored lights, sounds, and scents to give you the most opulent shower of your life. However, for those with a more modest budget, simply swapping out your standard shower head for a contemporary (and and more affordable) rain shower or pulse shower head is sure to turn your otherwise ordinary shower into a relaxing oasis. Once you have a faux rain forest shower, you’ll never go back.

An Elegant Taste of Marble

When it comes to class, you can never go wrong with marble. Ever. Whether you’re looking to do a sleek and elegant tub surround, create a modest vanity top, or want the full luxury experience of marble shower walls, this natural stone has your back. The beautiful creamy texture and hypnotizing veining can make any room look extraordinary. Polished marble can be slippery in bathrooms, due to the likely wet floor. When choosing marble for your master, choose a matted finish for safety and style.

Good Things Come in Doubles

His and her sinks are a great and easy way to add an air of class to your master bathroom. A chic double vanity, with elements like modern vessel sinks and waterfall faucets, gives you the feeling of your own personal space, adds style to the bathroom and certainly doesn’t hurt your home’s market value. If space doesn’t allow for two sinks, invest in a large gorgeous mirror above the sink to give the illusion of a larger master bath.

Go Green

One of the easiest ways to add that spa-like feel to your master bathroom is by adding greenery. Choose plants, like peace lily and aloe, that double as air purifiers in your home. The neutral colors of the plants can create a soothing atmosphere, while the plants themselves can reduce the number of toxins in the air.

These essentials for a luxurious master bathroom will take your boring bath to a relaxing sanctuary in just a few steps. Exercise your love for remodeling and make your master bath into a spa retreat you’ll love to show off.
