While bathrooms may not be the first room that people see when they enter your home, they play an important role in how people perceive your lifestyle. That’s why you should pay attention to every detail of your bathroom, from the shower curtain to the shower head, to give it a high-end appearance without spending thousands of dollars.
But more important than your guests’ perception of your bathroom is your own. Your bathroom is the one place where you spend the most time in your house, aside from your bedroom, so why not make it as luxurious as possible? From shower curtains to tubs, there are tons of ways to make your bathroom look more expensive than it actually is. Here are some ideas to get you started.
Install a Walk-in Tub
Walk-in tubs are some of today’s most popular luxury bathroom fixtures, and for good reason: They allow for extra room when it comes to soaking, add a gorgeous focal point to any bathroom, and provide a great way to keep your loved ones safe. A walk-in bathtub can also greatly increase your level of comfort if you have space for it. Also known as a freestanding tub, luxury models come in many different designs and styles so that no matter what your decor looks like, there’s one out there for you.
These tubs are perfect for those with limited mobility since they don’t require any assistance getting in or out of them. You can find all sorts of luxury walk in bathtub designs out there, so make sure you check them out before you purchase. The last thing you want is to have one installed only to find that it leaks or has other issues. Thankfully, there are people and companies that specialize in these fixtures, and installing one isn’t usually very expensive.
Add Live Plants
You probably got some live plant gifts from your new neighbors or your friends at your housewarming party, so why not use them in the best place possible? While they’re a simple addition, live plants offer many benefits, primarily in smell. They can help create a more balanced indoor atmosphere and even help cleanse bad odors. They are also beautiful and add freshness to any room. While other methods, such as installing a scent diffuser or burning incense, can do similar things, nothing is quite as effective as having live greenery in your bathroom.
Choose Your Mirrors Wisely
One of the best ways to create an opulent feel in a bathroom is by adding mirrors. Reflective surfaces make spaces look larger, and they reflect natural light in your space and can even be used as a reflective backdrop for decorative candles or artwork. In a smaller space like a bathroom, using mirrors on more than one wall can make things feel more spacious. Also, consider dressing up your mirror with some DIY stencils or paint that matches your decor scheme for an added touch of luxury. Mirrors aren’t just for bathrooms!

Create an Accent Wall
It’s well known that if you want to make a space look bigger, paint one wall a different color than all of your others. And when it comes to bathrooms, bright white paint on those accent walls gives you two great benefits: The darker grout between tiles becomes invisible, and there’s no need for art on your bathroom walls if you want a spa-like effect. Painting an accent wall can totally transform a space—not only in how it looks but also in how it feels and how much space you feel like you have in your own home.
