On holiday, the bathroom should feel like a sanctuary.

Imagine a 5 star hotel bathroom at your home….

Your own corner where you can soak away stress and relax…

We’ve selected 14 Steps to inspire the direction of a 5 Star Hotel Bathroom

1. NATURAL MATERIALS

Opting for natural materials such as timber and stone will

introduce warmth, ambience and texture to your bathroom,

creating an earthy look that is both functional and stylish.

2. FLOATING VANITY

Vanities have long been considered a

functional piece in the bathroom, providing

storage and a place to house the basin.

However, its value as a furnishing element

has seen the vanity evolve into a centerpiece

to inspire homeowners.

Cue floating vanities – the fast-track way to

refresh and modernize a bathroom space.

Simply hung from the wall, the floating vanity

offers a clean and modern line that save on

space, making it the perfect solution for

smaller bathroom.

3. RAIN STYLE SHOWER

As more innovative choices in showerheads pop up, the

trend continues towards heightened design and

aesthetics. The new generation of luxury showerheads

boast both beauty and function. The large rain-type

ceiling fittings remain the most desirable. With the most

water coverage, they produce different types of ‘rain’

while mixing water with air and light.

4. CONCEALED TOILET

Concealed toilets are popular choices for hotel

bathrooms.

A concealed-cistern toilet can either be wall faced, which

sits directly on the floor, or wall hung, leaving the floor

space underneath visible. Wall-hung toilets generally

make a bathroom layout appear larger, but they may

need additional support to hold their, and your, weight.

The toilet is flushed via buttons on the wall behind, and

these can be installed up to four metres from the cistern,

making them ideal for disabled users.

5. TILED SHOWER SHELF

Hotels are relaxing partly because they are free of

clutter. You can create this tidy look by building in a

tiled shelf in your shower or above your vanity.

A tiled shower shelf creates a neat and tidy way to

store your bathroom products by creating a shelf in

your shower wall.

It makes use of your wall space and saves you having

your products on the floor or in a shower rack. Adding a

shelf and storing extra toiletries can eliminate clutter to

keep your bathroom looking clean and chic.

6. FRAMELESS SHOWER SCREEN

Enhance your bathroom with a

custom made frameless shower

screen.

Frameless shower screens give a

bathroom the look of luxury and a

style that is timeless.

Frameless shower screens used to be

only found in five star hotels, and

then they entered into the top end of the residential property market.

Today however as they have become more affordable and are now a must for any

renovated bathroom.

7. MARBLE TILING

If you’re looking to glam up your

outdated bathroom but still keep it

functional why not try white marble

tiling or for a cheaper alternative

cultured marble with the added benefit

of stain-resistance. Pair it with

accessories for some warmth and

sophistication. Remember to spend

where you can because quality is always

stylish.

8. TILE TRICKS

Tiles have moved miles from the boring white

squares of old.

These days, they come in all shapes, sizes,

finishes, colors and materials. The only limit is

your imagination.

Tiling is the main part of your bathroom because

it elicits the biggest reaction.

Large, rectified porcelain tiles are a design favorite right now. They have a perfectly squared

edge, they can be tricky to lay. Floor to ceiling tiling is very popular in hotel bathrooms and

can make a bathroom feel bigger. However, in bathrooms with tall ceilings the effect can be

opposite.

9. INTERIOR LIGHTING

Interior lighting in the bathroom seems to be given

the least consideration when renovating.

Bathrooms are increasingly becoming a place to

relax and recharge, spending a little more time

and effort to invest in lighting can pay off

dramatically. Vertical fixtures or sconces mounted

on either side of the mirror make an incredible

difference in the appearance of the overall

bathroom.

10. QUALITY TAPWARE

Tap ware injects personality into a space and controls both the

flow and the feel of the water. There are two basic styles –

Three- piece sets (two taps and a spout) and mixer taps, where

hot and cold mingle together through a cartridge inside the unit.

Both are almost always made with chrome- plated brass and

both can be wall or deck-mounted.

While three- piece sets offer a traditional look, mixers are the

more popular style and are simpler to maintain and keep clean.

All taps sold in Australia must have a WELS (Water Efficiency

Labeling and Standards) rating.

The higher the WELS rating, the more water they conserve.

11. BATHTIME BLISS

Whether you see your bathroom as a pamper

zone, a place to bathe your children or just a

smart centerpiece, a bath is essential.

Nowadays a freestanding bath is a bomb in the

world of bathroom decoration.

A drop-in bath is installed into a hob and only

the top is visible and are very easy to use.

A spa bath will create a tranquil spa-like ambience.

12. HOTEL BATHROOM ACCESSORIES

Have you noticed that almost every hotel

bathroom has a compact wall-mounted shelf

for open towel storage? These are called

hotel shelves or train racks, and they are a

great option for accessible towel storage

without taking up much space. These clever

shelves add the look and the convenience of

an upscale hotel bath right in your own home

and rolled towels can be decorative when

they're stacked on the shelf.

By having accessories such as the racks, towel bars, magnifying mirrors and glass shelves will

bring that hotel style bathroom atmosphere.

13. YOUR FAVOURITE QUALITY TOILETERIES

Go ahead and treat yourself to some luxurious bath

products in irresistible miniature containers:

aromatic bath foams, exfoliating soaps and spa-

quality shampoos in beautiful packaging.

To display your tiny toiletries, arrange them with

care on an amenity tray. It's not only neat and tidy, it's like a minibar for your bathtub.

14. SLIDING DOOR

No matter what size your bathroom is,

extra space is always a plus point.

Many hotel designers use sliding doors to

increase space in a bathroom.

Not only will this be a fresh new addition to

your space but you will gain additional

space that was once taken by the door

swing.
