They look very attractive against neutral tone tiles and sanitary fittings. An attractive feature of brass metal fittings is that they look luxurious with little maintenance and are more durable than standard metal fittings against rust.

Dramatic Lighting

If the roof of the bathroom is too low for a chandelier, put in carved wall sconces, preferably made of metal or ceramic and use candle shaped lamps for timeless beauty. It would be fun to add dimmers to the main overhead lights in the bathroom. With this solution you can create calming ambience during long sessions on weekends when you want to soak with bath salts and a book in the tub.

Unusual accessories for the right atmosphere

As an oasis of relaxation and peace after a hectic day at work, luxury bathrooms need to have the perfect ambiance. To give a luxurious touch to a small bathroom, try to place unconventional accessories like unusual artwork on the walls, artistic soap dishes, vintage clocks and or colorful curtains made of glass beads.

Play with mirrors and colors

Attractive accessories like gilded mirrors, colorful vases with fresh flowers, ceramic candle stands and scented potpourri all add to the atmosphere making a bathroom feel luxurious. If the windows are reflected in mirrors, the bathroom appears large and spacious. Using striped tiles both on the floor and on walls around the bathtub gives an illusion of depth and length. Color coordinated toiletries, matching hand towels and bath mats can give a touch of grandeur making a simple toilet into a luxurious bathroom.

Extravagant tiles
