The 5-star Luxury Treatment for Your Bathroom

Dubai has no shortage of luxury hotels and it probably houses the best collection of luxury hotel bathrooms in the world per square kilometre. And, while stepping into an ultra-luxurious hotel bathroom can be a transformative experience, you often wish you could transplant those spa-like feels right into your own home.

Now, you can indulge yourself and enjoy a little everyday luxury throughout the year if you make a few simple changes to elevate your space to a hotel-style bathroom. Whether you prefer pared down minimalism or over-the-top glam, it has never been simpler to upgrade your bathroom and channel those hotel-style luxury vibes.


First things first, declutter

The main reason hotel bathrooms are so appealing is that they look minimalist and clean. Channel your inner Mari Kondo and spark your joy by getting rid of any unsightly skincare bottles, hairbrushes, and grooming essentials from your bathroom counters by ensuring you have adequate storage. When choosing your bathroom wash basin, ensure you pair it with a floating or wall-hung vanity as an easy way to get rid of messy clutter and instantly transform your space. Depending on size, a bathroom cabinet with wash basin can store all those different shaped bottles and make-up, to create a more restful, zen space that brings calm. 

Don't be afraid to standalone

After a long day at work, a soak in the bathtub is becoming a must-have luxury and the ultimate show of sophistication is the freestanding bathtub. Any hotel worth its salt knows this and understands it to be the best way to include soft sculpted lines in your bathroom space. Show off your style credentials with the Bernstein Oval Matt White Mineral Cast Freestanding Bathtub paired with the VitrA Floor Mounted Bathroom Tap. Simply sublime. 


Use fixtures to create the ‘wow-factor’

Who doesn’t love an overhead, super-sized rain shower head to make you feel as if you are standing in the middle of a downpour in the Borneo jungle. Plus, choosing the finish and colour on your bathroom mixer taps can have a significant impact on the end-feel of your hotel-style bathroom. Matt black fixtures give a modernist industrial feel and we can’t help but heart eyes for the Vitra Round Matt Black Shower Head. Alternatively, going with brushed brass or shiny gold bathroom fixtures can also give a more luxurious spa feel while classic chrome will never go out of style.

Light up your life
There is a reason why hotel bathroom selfies are so popular. Lighting in hotel bathrooms is often more flattering than the average home bathroom and that is because every interior designer understands the impact of good lighting. Whether you have a flair for the dramatic or functional, bathroom mirrors with LED lights are essential to creating the right levels of mood or functionality within a space. Backlit LED bathroom mirrors or recessed lighting can add a level of sophistication that elevates a room, no matter its size. 

Signature fragrance

Our sense of smell is one of our most powerful senses and is often linked to memories. Elevate your bathroom routine with cleverly chosen scents that evoke those happy holiday feels. Essential oils like lemon Basil, Cardamom, Sandalwood Myrrh, or oakmoss, tuberose, and mandarin, can create a spa-like feeling. Or if you are feeling indulgent, experiment with your favourite luxury scented candles to find your signature bathroom fragrance that reflects your personality and becomes synonymous with you from our selection of aromatherapy candles from Caeli.

Lastly, be fashion forward

Saving centimeters when doing a bathroom renovation is all about clever choices. One of the smartest ways to save space and create clean minimalistic lines is through a wall-mounted toilet pan with a hidden cistern. A modern twist on the traditional toilet, not only will there be no untidy-looking pipes to worry about, you can choose from round or rectangular-shaped toilet pans depending on your bathroom style and budget.
