The Foundation: High-End Walls, Floors & Lighting
A luxurious bathroom design starts with the essential elements of the room. Explore these ideas to enhance the floor, walls, and lighting of your space.
1. Heated Floors
Taking off your fuzzy slippers is much easier when you know you can step right onto a warm, heated floor. Perfect for those crisp Iowa mornings, heated floors are another element to make your bathroom feel like a spa, keeping you comfortable from the moment you step in.
2. Accent Walls
Adding a contrasting color or unique texture to one of your bathroom walls is a fantastic way to transform your space. A strategically placed accent wall creates a focal point of your bathroom that deepens the room’s character and creates a truly high-end look.
3. Backlit Mirrors
Good lighting and a great mirror are essential elements of any bathroom. Backlit mirrors enhance both aspects. Providing soft lighting from a variety of angles, they help eliminate harsh shadows and give you a well-lit view in your bathroom mirror. They also provide a soft ambiance across the rest of the room that enhances the environment.
4. Dedicated Makeup Area
A dedicated makeup area is a functional and beautiful addition to any master bathroom. Creating a separate, well-lit space to do your makeup allows for better organization (and reduced clutter) while encouraging dual use of the bathroom when needed.
The Bathing Experience: Luxury Shower & Bathtub Ideas
Create a luxurious bathing experience with these shower and bathtub design ideas.
5. Soaker Tubs
Bathing in a standard bathtub can be calming, but a dip in a soaker tub takes that relaxation to a whole new level. Soaker tubs are deeper than traditional tubs, allowing you to fully submerge in the warm sudsy water to relieve the stress of your day. A freestanding soaker tub instantly becomes the focal point of any bathroom design, giving it the look of pure luxury.

6. Tiled Showers
Transform your shower into an inviting atmosphere that you can’t wait to step into in the morning or at night. Tiling the floor and walls of your shower gives you the chance to customize the space with different colors, textures, and designs. Ceramic, porcelain, stone, mosaic — these are just a few of the tile options you can choose to make your shower one-of-a-kind.
7. Onyx Showers
An upscale alternative to the tiled shower is the onyx shower. This exquisite stone gives your shower a smooth appearance that’s free of the grout lines you see in tiled showers. This makes your shower much easier to clean while giving it a sophisticated stone appearance.
8. Glass Shower Doors
Create a more open, spacious feel in your restroom with a glass shower door. Glass shower doors allow you to show off your shower’s beautiful interior while also letting in more natural light that would otherwise be blocked by a curtain. Glass shower doors can be framed or frameless, giving you multiple options to create the best aesthetic for your space.
9. Steam Showers
Bring the feel of the spa to your home’s bathroom. Steam showers are enclosed from top to bottom, trapping the heat and humidity to create a therapeutic experience to help you unwind at the end of the day.
10. Zero-Entry Showers
Zero-entry showers are the perfect blend of aesthetics and accessibility. They feature a shower floor that’s level with the rest of the bathroom floor, which makes it much easier to enter than showers with raised borders or lips.
If you’re building a home that you want to live in comfortably well into your senior years, a zero-entry shower is a smart, beautiful, and proactive design choice.
11. Rain Shower Heads
Want your showers to feel like you’re standing in a warm, gentle rain? The right shower head makes a huge difference. Opting for a rain shower head will make your showers more comfortable and serene while giving your space a high-end feel.
12. Multiple Shower Heads
Multiple heads bring convenience to any master bathroom, allowing for simultaneous showering or a more customized showering experience. Pair them with a larger shower space to create a truly luxurious bathing area.
High-End Fixtures & More
These modern bathroom amenities will add a touch of sophistication to any space.
13. Separate Stool Room (Water Closet)
Adding a “water closet,” or separate toilet room, brings increased privacy and visual appeal to your master bath. Separating the stool from the rest of the room, including the sink, allows for simultaneous use of the space while also allowing you to keep the stool discretely hidden for a cleaner room aesthetic.
14. Towel Warmers
Towel warmers are a great way to ensure you and your guests shiver a little less when you step out of the shower or bath tub. Heated towel racks come in a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes, allowing you to customize the look that fits best in your space.
15. Bidet Toilets
Want to cut down on your toilet paper use? A bidet toilet is a bathroom toilet that allows you to use jetted water for cleansing after use. Common in many other countries, bidets will give your bathroom an upscale feel while also promoting hygiene and sustainability.
