Bathroom Escape

Gone are the days when bathrooms were dull, functional places to take a quick shower. The trend now is towards a luxury space where you can spend time washing away the stresses of everyday life

BATHROOMS are increasingly becoming places of refuge and relaxation where we can release the tension of the the day, say interior designers, adding that glamorous is the is the name of the game. For instance, don’t be afraid to add some velvet via a 1950s chair (if you have the space), with mirrors with backlighting. Simple, basic bathroom design has been replaced with new trends and accessories, such as heated towel rails – perfect for drying damp towels in winter, luxury soap dispensers, vibrating ceiling showers, Jacuzzi baths and even a place for a television set. However, people are also wanting to bring elements of nature into their homes and in some instances are creating living walls with greenery and blooms or adding nature-focused 3D floors.
