Luxurious Bathrooms

To me, the bathroom should be a sanctuary in the home.
It should be a place where you can relax, soak all of the
aches, pains and worries away. It's also a place where you
can have privacy and a moment to yourself. They can be
cozy and comforting, glamorous to dream in or just zen and
spa like to relax in.

I'm dedicating this post to some fantastic bathrooms. The
above is a simple yet glamorous bathtub, chandelier and a
mirror to match.

Here's a traditional beauty with lots of space, a
gorgeous tub and beautiful rugs, textures and linens.

This bathroom is super romantic simply
by the way it is decorated.

As you can see, the bathroom itself is very
simple. Yet with all the right touches and
embellishments - it is a very feminine and
romantic space. This proves you can do
wonders with just rugs, fabrics and
accessories.

This bathroom is by Mary McDonald. I love the tufted
bench as well as the painted floors in this cozy yet beautiful
bathroom.

Whites, grays and marble - you can never
really go wrong with this combination.

This bathroom is just the right size to fit two sinks, a full
size tub and a shower area in - as well as a toilet. It's
interesting how the sinks are split. But this really works
out so you can have a view out the window while bathing.
Wonderful fixtures and marble tops.

This bathroom from Elle Decor is very romantic. I love the
unique sinks and the marble counter tops. The crystal pendant
lights and mirror really give the touches that make this space
glamorous and feminine.

An all white bathroom is always soothing - especially when
paired with so much space and light. It's always such a luxury
when a bathroom can have large windows to let light in.


I love the periwinkle blue of this bathroom. The color is
so soothing. The tub has a unique surround that is oval
and circular in shape instead of the traditional rectangular
surrounds that are normal for a tub.

If I lived in a penthouse, boy would this be one heck of a
bathroom to shower or to take a bath in. I think it's really
cool and super luxurious with marble covering the floors
and extending all the way to the ceiling. The glass walls
make it so you can see straight through and the fire looks
like it's floating!

natural stone in your bath or kitchen
