Standout Features in a Luxury Bathroom Remodel

When you’re creating a new luxury bathroom, whether you are repurposing a bedroom, building an addition, or remodeling an existing bathroom, two factors are the most important. You need to establish a custom design for the project that takes all the relevant factors and preferences into consideration, and you need to choose a contractor you can trust to execute that design with quality workmanship.

Your design should be crafted to focus on the standout features that you want to include rather than trying to shoehorn those features into a standard template or pre-made design. As a contractor that has been designing and building custom luxury bathrooms in South Florida for decades, we know how important it is to build the design around a client’s desired features rather than to stuff the features into an existing design, and that’s why we prepare our designs from scratch for every remodeling project.

So, what are the features you could potentially build your bathroom around? And what standout features can you incorporate later? Let’s take a look at some of the options.

Spa Suite

A day spa offers luxury pampering services and features not typically found in private homes, so when you add one or more of these elements to your bathroom, you make the ultimate commitment to elegant comfort. Many bathroom renovations set out to include “spa-like features” such as fancy shower heads, but you can go a step further by building a spa bathroom suite that incorporates rooms and major spa attractions such as a

• Steam room
• Changing room
• Sauna
• Massage room
• Hot tub

Within each of these luxury areas, you can upgrade the spa experience still further with additional features. For instance, you might incorporate a waterfall or rainfall shower in your steam room so that you can cool off with ease.

Statement Pieces

Another standout feature you can design your luxury bathroom around is a one-of-a-kind statement piece that reflects your individual style. You might choose to feature something like an antique armoire filled with towels and toiletries, a custom vanity with multiple levels and a statement sink made of natural stone, a designer mirror, mosaic tile artwork on the floor or wall, or a sculptural bathtub with elegant lines. Your designer may be able to either suggest ways to incorporate a family heirloom or other beloved piece or help you find the right piece to serve as the focal point of your luxury bathroom remodel.

Integrated Sound System

Sensory fulfillment is a key part of the ultimate bathroom experience, so one outstanding feature you can include will be out of sight and yet very obvious. Your contractor can design your bathroom renovation around a voice-activated smart sound system with high-fidelity audio equipment, including premium sound cards, digital to analog converters, and multiple top-quality speakers to create a surround sound environment. Whether you want accompaniment to sing in the shower, music to energize you as you get ready for work, or environmental sounds to bring the feel of nature inside, an integrated sound system can take your bathroom to the next level.

High-End Shower Elements

Adding luxury features to your shower can create a sensual experience while also making a visual statement that sets the tone for your luxury bathroom. You might center the room around an Italian shower tiled in Calacatta marble. Or you might create an elegant dual shower enclosure with multiple shower heads that direct water from every angle.

Rainfall showers can be created in a variety of striking configurations, and waterfall showers create the sensation of being on vacation in a tropical paradise.

In addition to creating a sumptuous look and feel, an upscale shower can also include wellness benefits. You might install a therapeutic shower, for example, that uses various forms of hydrotherapy to provide relief from back pain, neck pain, and stress.

Picture Windows with Smart Glass Panels

When your home offers stunning views of the water or soothing scenes of the tropical South Florida greenery, it seems a shame not to enjoy those views in your bathroom. Privacy concerns, however, often cause people to assume that they need to keep the bathroom closed off from the outside world.

If you want to enjoy views of the outdoors while relishing the comfort of your climate-controlled bathroom, your bathroom remodel can include windows with dynamic smart glass that can temporarily become opaque when you need privacy and transparent or semi-transparent when you want to enjoy the view.

Colored or patterned glass can also be used inside the bathroom as a stunning way to section off a private changing area, enclose a shower, or create a visual feature wall that can be coordinated with custom glass countertops or other features.

Additional Features to Consider

The possibilities for adding elegant and advantageous features in the process of a luxury bathroom remodeling project are virtually limitless. Other features you might consider incorporating into a renovation include:

• Luxury mirrors that incorporate defoggers and integrated lighting with dimmers
• Freestanding soaker bathtub
• Towel warmers
• Smart toilet with a built-in bidet, air dryer, and touchless flushing
• Radiant heated flooring
• Intentional lighting to provide bright light when needed and ambient light when desired
• Beverage station to keep coffee, wine, or sparkling water close at hand

While some features, such as tech mirrors, can be added later, it is always better when you can incorporate as many of your desired elements as possible into the design phase of your remodeling project.
