luxury bath

Sophisticated materials and high-end fixtures have room to shine in spacious bathrooms. With smart floor plans, these inviting retreats enhance both privacy and convenience.

So you’re finally designing that spa-worthy master bathroom. Maybe you already have room to accommodate a walk-in shower and other dreamy features—if not, don’t shy away from borrowing space from an adjoining bedroom closet. Individual amenities rule in these types of baths, especially if you have two people on the same morning schedule. Fit in both a large walk-in shower and a soaking tub for relaxing baths and romance. Put them on the same wall if needed; in a larger room, place each amenity where it will get the attention it deserves.

Build in roomy grooming stations, whether that means one long vanity with matching sinks or twin vanities. In each case, good vanity lighting and personalized storage features are a must. To enhance privacy, add a separate room for the toilet—and maybe a bidet, too. Add sophisticated sconces, a dreamy chandelier, or transom windows to illuminate the space and lighten the look.
