How to Upgrade Your Bathroom to the Level of Celebrity Luxury
Alt Title: How to Make Your Bathroom Celebrity-Level Indulgent
It’s fun to speculate about the luxurious lifestyles of wealthy celebrities. They have the money, the inclination, and often the creative talent to put together some of the most impressive and grand houses in the world – so naturally, they have some of the most beautiful, comfortable bathrooms in the world as well.
Is it possible for you to upgrade your own bathroom to this level of celebrity luxury? That probably depends on the celebrity. Obviously, if you had an unlimited budget, you would be able to replicate any room in any house, anywhere, and make anything you imagine a genuine reality. But most of us are forced to constrain our visions so we can adhere to a tighter budget.
The good news is, even on a tighter budget, there are meaningful upgrades you can make to your bathroom to mimic and sometimes even reach the level of celebrity luxury we imagine at the upper echelons of society.
Improve the Lighting
One of the best things you can do is improve the lighting of your bathroom. We often don’t realize it, but lighting has a massive impact on how we interpret and interact with our environments. Brighter and colder lighting can make a place feel cleaner, happier, and more alive, but also sterile. Dimmer and warmer lighting can make a place feel calmer, cozier, and more relaxing, but also tiring. If you install lighting that gives you flexible control, you’ll always have the type of lighting you need on demand. Consider installing more secondary and peripheral lighting sources so you have multiple options available at all times.
Get a Luxury Bidet Attachment
Bidet attachments are relatively inexpensive, often going for less than $100, but they can make your bathroom experience much more comfortable. Washing yourself with water, rather than wiping with toilet paper, is an instantly more hygienic and comfortable experience. On top of that, you can purchase bidet attachments with nifty luxury features like heated seating and temperature and pressure controls for the water. You can even purchase a bidet that’s self-cleaning.
Add More Storage
One thing that separates luxurious celebrity bathrooms from those of everyday Americans is the availability of more storage space. Sometimes, all it takes is the installation of a new cabinet, set of drawers, or vanity to upgrade both the appearance and functionality of a bathroom. You’ll feel like you’re living in a new house when all your toiletries have a secure place to be stored.
Splurge on Materials
If you plan on doing a fuller renovation, don’t be afraid to splurge on materials. In many cases, better materials will not only look better, but function better and hold up to the test of time with more durability and structural integrity. Consult with experts to make the best choices for your needs and budget.
Expand Your Mirror
You can make your bathroom feel richer by installing a bigger, wider reaching mirror. You’ll be able to see more in the reflection and, if necessary, accommodate multiple people at once comfortably.
Mirrors also serve another important purpose; they give us a bigger sense of space. Installing a bigger mirror can make the bathroom itself feel larger, even if it’s only an illusion.
Get the Best Showerhead You Can Afford
We spend a lot of time in the shower, not just cleaning ourselves but contemplating our lives and coming up with new ideas. If you want to maximize this central bathroom experience, get the best showerhead you can reasonably afford. Showerheads with greater pressure and more versatile settings can help you get cleaner more comfortably.
Incorporate New Trends
You don’t have to be a total fashionista to capitalize on the latest trends in bathroom décor. Incorporating little touches, like accent painting or specific décor items, can make your bathroom feel more modern and more inviting.
Add Plant Life
Plants make people happy, even if they don’t consider themselves “plant people.” Even a touch of greenery in the corner of your bathroom can instantly make it feel more alive and more welcoming. It’s especially nice in winter if you live in a climate that makes green plant life scarce during this season.
Replace the Little Things
Consider replacing little things in your bathroom, such as the soap dispenser, cabinet handles, and toothbrush holder. These items are generally inexpensive, even if you splurge, but they can make a big difference in how you perceive the quality of your bathroom.
Invest in Towels and Robes
Finally, make sure you invest a sufficient amount in towels and robes. You’re going to drape yourself in these materials, so they better be comfortable.
You don’t need to be a billionaire to enjoy a luxurious, comfortable bathroom. You don’t even need to be a millionaire. You just need an eye for detail, a willingness to try new things, and the smart application of whatever limited budget you have.
