You’re finally able to afford that bathroom of your dreams. It’s a real home spa where you could linger for hours in luxury. You may wonder just how you choose the right fixtures that will really make your bathroom pop.
Freestanding Tub
These tubs are deep and can be quite expensive, especially if they’re carved out of natural stone. They can have golden lions’ feet, a low pedestal, or no feet at all. They can be shaped like a slipper, a garden trench, or a box made of hinoki wood. They’re tubs where you could soak for hours if other duties didn’t call.
Swank Faucets
The styles of faucets you can have for your sink or your bathtub and the materials they’re made of are almost too varied to list. However, they all do one thing. They deliver hot and cold fresh water. Really rich people have been known to install faucets that deliver saltwater from the sea if they live on the beach, but that’s unusual. What’s more affordable is to hook your fixtures up to a water filter to remove impurities. Homeowners also install water softeners, but Charleston’s water is soft, so that’s not needed.
What you might consider when it comes to faucets are those that deliver the water in cascades or have LED lights that color the water. There are also bridge faucets, center-set or single-handled faucets, and faucets made to look like old-fashioned hand pumps. They can be mounted on the wall or the sink. As for materials, most luxury faucets are made of polished brass, but they can be polished nickel, satin nickel, or polished chrome. If you really want to impress, there are even some faucets made of precious metal, but you should avoid silver because it tarnishes.
Beautiful Lighting
No one said you can’t have a crystal chandelier or even a crystal flush-mounted light fixture in your bathroom. You can also install high-end wall sconces on either side of your bathroom mirror and recessed, adjustable, waterproof lighting in your walk-in marble shower.
Vessel Sinks
There are several types of sinks, and like tubs, they can be made from many materials. A luxurious type of sink is a vessel sink, which sits atop the vanity and is often fed from a wall-mounted faucet. Made of colored glass or beautiful ceramics, these sinks can be real works of art. One caveat is they can be a little tricky to keep clean.
