How To Create A Luxurious Shower Area

Buco 12 Oct 2022

You don’t have to win the lottery or re-bond your house to achieve the kind of bathroom you might have seen across the glossy pages of the best home décor magazines. There are plenty accessible, smart shower area ideas that can breathe new life into the space – and transform it without breaking the bank.

How can I make my small shower feel luxurious?

Let’s take a look at some DIY ideas that will get you closer to the luxury bathroom designs you’ve been dreaming of.

Dramatic Lighting

Something synonymous with luxury bathroom designs is effective lighting with premium appeal.

Reaping the benefits of a well-lit shower space isn’t exclusively reliant on installing lighting in the shower. Consider a dramatic sconce for example! Giving your shower its own lighting source is the best way to give the space its own unique mood. If you are willing to go for the installation option, recessed lighting bars that are tucked in along the back wall will give you great ambient drama.

Celebrate Natural Lighting

Working with a skylight? Making a skylight the centrepiece of the shower is the easiest way to celebrate that ever-tranquil zen-mood (and will make you feel like you’ve got your own outdoor shower!).

Extend Your Showerhead

A small, easy-fix option when looking to up the ante on the luxury vibes can be as simple as a new showerhead. Longer showerheads allow you to take advantage of the full spray even if you don’t have the space for something along the lines of a high-pressure, waterfall, multi-spray device.

Opt for Bold Tiles

You can add that layer of luxury (without spending a ton) when you opt for out-of-the-box tiles that complement the rest of the bathroom.

Make use of an Feature / Accent Wall

The easiest and most effective way to create a luxury-looking shower is to consider adding an accent / feature wall with bold tiles! Whether you accentuate your existing colour palette – or contrast it with a dramatically different hue, you can add a visually arresting feature without a major overhaul.

Go Floor to Ceiling

Maximize your space while adding dramatic visual appeal by installing floor-to-ceiling glass. That glass-boxed effect creates the effect of a separation from the rest of the bathroom without risking a claustrophobic result that you might suspect comes with an obstruction to your layout.

Must-Have Tools for Bathroom and Kitchen Remodelling

If you’ve decided that you’re after something more than the aesthetic tricks and treats above – or perhaps you’re putting your house on the market and are looking at the best luxury bathrooms effect as an investment – you’ll need to make sure you have the right tools for each job you undertake.

While some people may consider this a pretty straightforward list, we know that not everyone is DIY-mad – and perhaps a toolbox is something you’re just getting started on. With BUCO on your side, none of these should overwhelm you or seem like something you can’t imagine getting hold of.
