The bathroom - the unsung hero of the home. It’s where you prep for the day, relax after it, and maybe even hide from your kids with a locked door and a “Do Not Disturb” sign. In your new Clarendon Homes build, why not elevate this space into a sanctuary? Here are ten ideas to transform your bathroom into the spa-like retreat you deserve.
1. Double down on double vanities
Sharing is caring, but not when it comes to bathroom counter space. A double vanity means you can both brush your teeth without the passive-aggressive elbowing. Plus, it adds a touch of luxury that screams, "I’ve got my life together."
2. Rain showers: because you deserve the drama
Nothing says “sanctuary” like a rain shower. Imagine warm water cascading from above, washing away the stress of the day. It’s like standing under a gentle waterfall, but without the mosquitoes.
3. Freestanding bathtubs: the centrepiece you need
A freestanding tub isn’t just a place to soak; it’s a statement piece. Think clawfoot elegance or sleek modern curves, either way, it’s an invitation to spend an extra hour in bubbles (and maybe wine).
4. Mood lighting that works wonders
Harsh fluorescents are the villain of relaxation. Install dimmable lights or wall sconces for a soft glow that makes you feel like you’re at a five-star spa. Bonus: it’s perfect for setting the scene for a relaxing soak or a late-night scroll through Instagram.
6. Add a splash of greenery
Bathrooms and plants are a match made in design heaven. Think ferns, peace lilies, or even a resilient snake plant to bring in a touch of nature. Plus, plants improve air quality and add that “I’m fancy” vibe.
7. Heated towel racks: wrap yourself in warmth
Nothing beats stepping out of a shower or bath and grabbing a warm, fluffy towel. Heated towel racks not only keep your towels toasty but also add a little extra luxury to your bathroom.
8. Statement mirrors that reflect your good taste
Mirrors aren’t just for checking your hair. A bold, oversized mirror can be the focal point of your bathroom, while also making the space feel bigger and brighter. Go for round, arched, or geometric shapes for a modern twist.
9. Smart storage solutions
A sanctuary isn’t cluttered. Opt for clever storage solutions like recessed shelves, floating vanities, or even a stylish ladder shelf. Everything has a place, so your bath bombs aren’t competing with your toothbrush for space.
10. Neutral palettes with a pop of personality
Soft whites, greys, and beiges set the stage for relaxation, but don’t shy away from adding a pop of your personality. Think a navy feature wall, gold fixtures, or blush pink towels for a bit of flair.
