More than any other space in your home, your bathroom should be an oasis of calm. For many people, the time spent soaking in the tub or sluicing their troubles away in the shower is the most peaceful time of any given day.
Your property inspiration
The bathroom in this eye-catching Tokai home features white and various shades of cream and off-white. The bathtub, the tiles around it and the blinds make a statement in pure white, while the walls, floor tiles and cabinet create a subtle-but-distinguished touch of colour. The large wall mirror finishes off the look, creating a relaxing bathroom that invites candles, bubbles and bliss. By definition, a monochrome bathroom is one decorated using only one colour, with the shades and tones thereof and the look has been epitomised here.
Top ways to create a sophisticated and relaxing bathroom
Use a neutral colour palette
Interior decor experts agree that one of the best ways to create a soothing bathroom is to use neutral colours. By focusing on soft whites, creams, greys and muted pastels for walls, tiles and fixtures, you create a serene and sophisticated atmosphere. If you feel your bathroom needs a pop of colour, add an accent colour through use of towels, a bathmat or other accessories. Colour — or lack thereof — is important because it sets the tone of your bathroom.
Introduce luxurious materials and plush textiles
Let’s start with the surfaces. A luxury bathroom needs materials like marble, granite and high-quality porcelain. These create a sophisticated statement when used for countertops, flooring and shower surrounds. When it comes to softer textiles, thick bath mats, soft robes and piles of plush bath towels add an extra touch of comfort and luxury. Opt for high-quality absorbent fabrics in coordinating colours for a cohesive look.
Introduce natural elements
Bring in natural elements like plants, natural wood accents and stone details to add warmth and texture to your bathroom. These elements create a calming and inviting atmosphere. Plants can go on the windowsill, or, if space allows, you can include a large planter pot or two in your bathroom decor.
Bring in spa features and high-quality fixtures
Whether it’s a luxurious rain showerhead, a steam shower or heated floors, various spa features will enhance your relaxation and create a luxurious experience. Invest in high-quality fixtures like taps, handles and towel rails. These should be made from premium materials like brushed nickel or polished chrome to create a bathroom that turns heads.
Keep your bathroom clutter-free
Introduce ample storage solutions like built-in cabinets, floating shelves and vanity drawers. You can also use baskets or trays to organise toiletries and towels neatly. A great rule of thumb is that if you don’t use it every day, it can be stored out of sight. Ensure that you clean your bathroom regularly to keep it sanitary and looking sophisticated.
Saving the best for last: bring in personal touches
Make your bathroom your own by introducing works of art, decorative mirrors or scented candles that reflect your style and personality. These finishing touches will elevate the design of your bathroom and make it feel like a retreat.
