Everyone would like to have a millionaire’s bathroom. Sadly, far fewer people can actually afford a millionaire’s bathroom.
But that’s OK! A luxury bathroom isn’t necessarily the same thing as an expensive one. Any bathroom can become the epitome of style once it has received a few tasteful and affordable updates. Here’s what you can do if you want your bathroom to look like it belongs to a wealthy heir or heiress. The only difference is that you will actually appreciate it!
Fresh Paint
Nothing breathes new life into a bathroom faster and more easily than a fresh coat of paint. It eliminates any stains which may currently lower the tone of your bathroom, and if you pick a bright color you can make a smaller bathroom appear significantly more spacious. Light blue, light green, taupe and charcoal are all trending bathroom colors in 2023 – and they’re due to stay voguish well into the future since none of them are extravagantly bold.
Tile Statement Wall
Want to take your bathroom’s walls one step closer to true luxury? Choose a single wall and turn it into an accent wall! A splash of colorful paint will accomplish that purpose beautifully, but if you’d like to invest a little more into a wall that truly “pops,” then you can’t choose a material better than tile. It allows you to incorporate any imaginable color and pattern into your bathroom, and it also provides a surface that is easier to clean and more resistant to mildew.
Additional Storage
Clutter isn’t just unpleasant to the eye. Being surrounded by it can actually have an adverse effect on your mental health! If your bathroom is currently a jumble of hair care products, towels and other hygiene paraphernalia, then you will love the extra space, cleaner aesthetics and convenience that all go hand in hand with adding new storage space.
New Countertops
No other update transforms a bathroom quite so dramatically as a new countertop. As one of its larger features, a bathroom’s countertop has a huge impact on overall appeal and aesthetics (especially since it is usually reflected in the mirror). In addition to tile, you have the option to replace your existing countertop with natural stone, sintered stone, engineered quartz or porcelain slab. Each is available in a vast selection of colors and patterns, which gives you the options of complementing your bathroom’s existing features or creating an altogether new ambiance.
Better Lighting
Lighting can easily spell the difference between a luxurious bathroom and a dingy one. Ample natural light has a marked impact on mood, creativity and cognitive performance, which means adding a window can make any room more cheerful and vibrant. Installing a single window can cost over $1,000, however, which is why you may choose to brighten up your bathroom more affordably by adding artificial light. Choose light bulbs that create yellowish warm light if you’re going for a cozier, more intimate atmosphere; choose bluish cold light if you’re designing a more energizing environment.
Solid Surface Shower Walls
Tile, natural stone and engineered stone aren’t just useful for creating impactful accent walls and countertops. These materials also make it possible to reinvent your shower without exceeding a reasonable budget. They are all easy to install, easy to clean, and certain to create a more coherent aesthetic in a smaller space. The average American spends approximately 48 hours showering each year. You deserve to spend that much time bathing in the lap of luxury.
Tile Flooring
You have many affordable options when it comes to updating your bathroom floor – but none offers quite so much value as tile. Tile surfaces are intensely durable, and can last over 100 years with proper care. They are nonporous, and resist absorbing moisture that could nourish mold and bacteria. They are easy to maintain, requiring only weekly mopping, occasional grout cleaning, and optional sealing every four to five years. And perhaps best of all, tile flooring is relatively inexpensive in the grand scheme of things!
