Our Top Luxury Bathroom Features

Features to consider for your new Perth luxury bathroom renovation.

When renovating your new bathroom, it is a great time to create the perfect space for you and your family’s needs. Consider Perth luxury bathroom upgrades to add comfort, atmosphere, functionality, and value to your home. This will ensure that your luxurious new bathroom offers functionality, relaxation, and a comfortable space for everyone who uses it.

You should consider important factors when renovating your bathroom. These include the amount of space you have or feel you need; the amount of artificial and real light in the space; the materials and textures on the surfaces within the space; and the fittings and fixtures used throughout.

Speak with our experienced Perth bathroom renovators about the design and style options available for your home.

Lighting

The key to a successful bathroom renovation in Perth is adequate lighting. The benefits of light are obvious: it improves functionality and impacts our emotional wellbeing. To ensure comfort all day, a bathroom with good lighting will be welcoming and calming. Artificial lighting, however, can create a relaxed atmosphere and an ambiance that is perfect for evening relaxation.

Your bathroom’s size and shape will greatly impact the amount of light that can flow through it. However, any structure that surrounds the bathroom, such as fences, trees, or fencing, will have an impact on the light that can flow through.

You may be blessed with large windows in your bathroom. Make sure you maximise natural light. Even though large windows can be a hindrance to privacy, sheer curtains or simple window treatments can help provide cover while still letting the sun in.

If you have the budget, you may be able to investigate skylights and smart glass. Smart glass allows you to choose between clear and opaque glass, giving you the option of privacy or natural light whenever you need it. To let natural sunlight into the bathroom, you might consider installing a skylight. Skylights are particularly effective in bathrooms without external walls.

Choose artificial light sources that simulate natural light if you have few or no windows in your bathroom. You can choose from a variety of elegant lighting designs or unique bulb options to create your desired look and feel.

Layered Lighting

There are three main types: task, ambient, and accent lighting. The bathroom can be made more functional by carefully layering the lights. This will enhance the appearance of the space and allow for greater flexibility.

The main light

The main light is often an overhead or pendant light that provides ambient lighting for overall illumination. Dimmer options are available for this bathroom light, which allows for maximum customisability.

Task lighting

The bathroom is where so many personal grooming activities are performed. You could also use task lighting to illuminate the mirror and vanity. When positioning task lighting, make sure to minimise shadows. This will help you when applying makeup or shaving.

Accent Lighting

This lighting feature is essential for luxury bathrooms in Perth. It makes each space stand apart from the rest. Accent lighting is used to highlight the space’s unique features. You might position a light above a painting, in a decorative chandelier, or on a wall sconce by a soaking bath.

Integrated Lighting Solutions

If you want to use your bathroom for daily tasks (like shaving, make-up application, taking out or putting in contact lenses, splinter removal and other activities) it needs adequate lighting. A mirror equipped with integrated LED lighting is a great solution. This arrangement looks great, provides excellent illumination, minimises shadows, and is energy efficient. Check out our project in Canning Vale, where we added a wow factor with a stylish mirror.

Materials

Perth Bathroom renovations can be difficult because it is not easy to find the right mix of materials that will give your bathroom a natural beauty and high-quality style. There are so many choices to make that they can be overwhelming. Remember, beauty is often found in simplicity, so take this approach to your material choices – you don’t need to overcomplicate the design process. Rely on good, solid, durable materials and you can’t go wrong.

Natural materials such as stone and marble provide warmth and texture with a hint of luxury. These luxury materials come from nature, and they give you a sense of calmness and tranquilly. The Romans did this thousands of years ago and they are principles we still emply today. They knew a thing or two about designing bathrooms those Romans!

Marble

Marble is a timeless, beautiful, and classic material that brings luxury to your bathroom. Marble works well in both small and large bathrooms. It will also add long-term value to your home.

Real marble can be difficult to maintain. So, some of our clients prefer marble replicas and marble looks. Marble-looking stone tops can be cleaned easily and are non-porous. Marble look tiles are available in many sizes and shapes. and can be used as accents or throughout the space.

Matte

Your new bathroom should feel luxurious but not old-fashioned. You can instantly give your bathroom a modern, contemporary touch by adding matte to the space. Matte tiles give an edgy yet elegant finish. And for a bold look, matte black taps can be introduced instead of hard-to-handle colours.

Unfinished Wood

Unfinished wood can add warmth and texture to an otherwise plain, tiled bathroom. Consider timber vanities, stools, and bath caddies. We love a wood stool near the bath as it adds style and functionality to the room. However, the ultimate wood feature is a wooden vanity. Take a look at our recent project in Floreat; this bathroom oozes class and luxury with its unique wooden vanity.

Fittings and Fixtures

Adding premium fixtures and fittings to your bathroom will add a touch of luxury. Any bathroom can be transformed by simply replacing the old sinks, bathtubs, tapware, and showerheads. To achieve a balanced appearance, make sure you choose fixtures and fittings that match the colours and materials throughout the bathroom.

A statement piece is a great way to bring elegance and style to your bathroom. A freestanding bath, for example, is an attractive and striking design option. You can find many different sizes and shapes for freestanding baths. They also act as focal points in the space. You can also consider adding a second sink, heated towel racks, and towel drawers to your bathroom.

A Walk in Shower

A walk-in bathroom shower is a popular choice for modern Perth bathroom renovations. They are luxurious and don’t take up much space. While they can be affordable, they still look expensive. Frameless glass makes even the smallest bathrooms seem larger.

A waterfall showerhead will bring luxury with every drop. A square showerhead will give your shower a modern and unique look.

But that’s just the beginning. To make the showerhead even more impressive, you can add stones or new tiles, create multiple jets, or combine both a sauna and a shower. If your master bathroom is on the lower floor, consider creating an outdoor space for your shower to complement it. This will be just like your most treasured villa memories.

A Luxurious Tub

A luxurious bathtub is the perfect choice for those who enjoy long soaks. To completely transform your bathroom, get a tub with waterjets. Opt for a simple, sleek design, or if you want a tub that you will never want to leave, choose a deep freestanding bath.

Double Vanity

A double vanity solves a long-standing problem of who gets ready first in the morning. The twin sinks make it possible for two people to share the bathroom without fighting for elbow space or access to the taps. A double vanity gives you twice as much storage space. This is an essential feature in modern bathrooms. This allows you to store your bathroom essentials more efficiently and reduces clutter.

Smart Technology

As technology becomes more integral to our daily lives, it is becoming increasingly common to include aspects of the digital world in bathroom renovations. When designing a modern designer bathroom, you can consider adding LCD touch panels to replace the traditional controls, as well as smart mirrors, smart toilets, and smart showers.

Sensor activated fixtures and fittings allow you to use lights, taps, and soap dispensers with ease.

You might also consider installing speakers in your shower to listen to music or watch the latest episodes of your favourite show while you soak. You have a lot of options for technological upgrades to your bathroom. All you need is the right idea.
