If you’re thinking about a bathroom renovation design and want to embrace high-end trends to create a luxurious room you can always escape to, we have a range of tips to help guide you in your bathroom renovations in Sydney. From key elements like smart technology combined with natural materials to rainfall showers and built-in aromatherapy systems, there are numerous options to choose from.
As with any renovation, layout is king! The right layout will maximise your space and ensure a functional flow to enhance everyone’s experience. While changing the layout often requires additional electrical work and plumbing, it’s something worth considering if you do have functional problems with your existing bathroom. However, this is something to discuss with your designer.
Whether you’re thinking about underfloor heating, smart mirrors with internet connectivity and an integrated supply, or something simpler like a smart toilet and bidet combo, there are so many ways to make your bathroom smarter. However, certain features are becoming more commonplace in luxury bathrooms all over Sydney, including voice-activated smart showers and a digital temperature control system.
There has always been an element of statement pieces in large bathrooms and now, there are so many clever ways to make a statement, you can add this luxurious element without the need for space. Why not consider a curved vanity, freestanding basin, or a light-up asymmetrical mirror? If you do have space, the bathtub is a great way to make a statement, whether you prefer a Soaker, a bright colour, or a freestanding tub.
Millennial grey is wearing thin and we’re starting to see more people embracing playful designs, bold patterns, and colourful options. You can go as bold as you want, as long as it fits your personality and the character of your house! From whimsical wallpaper to bold tile patterns, you can create a luxurious space that still shows off your true style.
Many spas embrace nature in their aesthetic and that’s because it sets the scene for relaxation while still communicating luxury. Wall panels can add a touch of softness, while ribbed wood and textured ceramics are also a nice touch. While it ultimately depends on your style, think textured tiles, wood accents, and natural stone to create the ultimate luxury bathroom.
In addition to the natural materials (and textures), there is a growing trend for eco-friendly options in luxury bathrooms, whether it’s a water-saving tap and toilet or recycled materials. Of course, you can also add plants that will enhance the look and thrive in a high-moisture location.
Storage is a fact of bathroom life and when renovating a bathroom, you can’t forget it just because it’s not as fun or fancy as other elements. As important as aesthetics are, bathroom storage is key to creating a functional bathroom. It might not be the most glamorous aspect of a renovation, but, you can make it luxurious! Whether you prefer a floating vanity with recessed shelving, concealed drawers and concealed compartments or prefer multi-functional fixtures like mirrors offering integrated storage. Likewise, nothing says luxury like soft-close cabinets.
If you’re looking to add some spa touches to your high-end bathroom, don’t overlook steam shower systems, rainfall showers, or multiple jets! When you do opt for multiple jets, speak to your contractor about how the system works. Many systems will only operate one function at a time, so if the rainfall shower is on, the additional jets are off and vice versa. If you want all your shower heads and jets working at one time, that will require additional plumbing to install the appropriate diverter valves. They will also be able to advise whether your water pressure is powerful enough to handle the task.
Another popular trend for larger spaces is installing separate spaces for a wet room with a shower and soaking tub to keep the wet and dry areas of the space completely separate.
Don’t forget about your lighting! Whether it’s a custom lighting design or you have a statement piece in mind, you can completely change the functionality and atmosphere of your bathroom with the right lighting. In addition to that statement piece, don’t forget to factor in accent and task lighting to maintain the function of the space.
For the finishing touches, pick and choose art you love, décor you enjoy, and a combination of interesting fixtures and fittings to elevate your look.
