Luxury Bathroom without Breaking Your Budget

A recent study revealed that we spend on average between 30-60 minutes each day in our bathrooms! So, if you are spending so much time in there, why not make your bathroom a little more luxurious? We are going to show you how to do just that with this simple guide!



With our tips, you will be able to create a luxury bathroom without breaking the budget! Let's get started!


Minimalism 

You've heard it before...Less is more! When you think of luxury bathrooms, the last thing that should come to your mind is clutter! Downsizing and decluttering your bathroom is the perfect start to creating your own luxury bathroom without breaking the bank. 


With that being said, there are some things you cannot downsize in the bathroom, such as toothbrushes, toiletries, razors, etc., so consider creating functional storage to keep clutter to a minimum. For example, consider installing a cabinet that has a mirror attached to save space. 

Atmosphere 

Simple touches can change the aesthetic of your bathroom without breaking the bank. Consider installing lighting that can be adjusted depending on your mood. Having the variation between soft dim lighting for a luxurious bath and bright lighting for when you are getting ready will give you the feel of being in an upscale bathroom. 

Rather than demoing your entire bathroom, consider upgrading only your shower or bath. A custom-built shower area can give you the feeling of being in a spa without the spa price. Check these out for some inspiration!

Colour

Studies show that colour directly affects mood, and the right colours can actually make you feel more relaxed. For example, cool colours give a bathroom the aesthetic of a beachside resort. Blue against crisp white features such as the sink and bath create the perfect luxury feel. 

Consider painting an accent wall for a budget-friendly pop of colour in the bathroom. The biggest point to keep in mind is that white is your main colour. White screams luxury and cleanliness, so the colours you choose to accent with should complement white as the primary colour. 

Nature 

If your bathroom has access to natural light...Embrace it! Make the windows a focal point in your bathroom as they will illuminate the room and make it feel more like a resort-style bathroom. Also, consider bringing in some sort of plant-life into the bathroom. 

Carefully selected and easy to maintain plants like succulents can give a room an updated feel for almost nothing. Additionally, you could use artwork that includes plants to embrace the exotic resort-style luxury theme in your bathroom.
