Although typically the smallest room in a house, the bathroom design is no doubt the hardest working. Not only does it serve as a place to take care of business and wash up, for many it’s also a luxurious retreat that allows you to melt away stress and relax in peace.

But over time it can start to look a little tired and anything but luxurious. If you’re ready to ditch your outdated fixtures, cracked tile, and dingy paint, here are 8 design elements to consider to transform a functional bathroom into a stylish, spa-like space you can enjoy for years to come.

1. Walk-In Shower

If a full bathroom renovation is in your future, consider adding a spacious walk-in shower. Not only will it be more accessible, but also easier to clean. Plus, it’s a great way to make a smaller bathroom feel more open and airy.

2. Statement Bathtub

If a luxurious bubble bath is more your cup of tea, why not swap out the old wall-attached tub for one that’s more eye-catching. Whether it’s a classic claw-foot or a modern under-mount, a new bathtub can enhance the aesthetic appeal of your space while also offering the perfect spot to unwind and relax after a long day.

3. Bidet

In addition to increasing personal comfort and cleanliness, a bidet can be more eco-friendly than using toilet paper. Plus, it can help reduce clogged toilets and other potential plumbing issues. Don’t have the space to add a full bidet? Consider a bidet conversion kit that installs onto your existing toilet.

4. Sound System

A sound system can help you create the ultimate shower or bath experience. Pair your sound system with a built-in TV so you to catch up on your favorite shows or watch a movie while enjoying a soothing bath.

5. Mood Lighting

No matter the size of a bathroom, proper lighting can make all the difference. Dimmable fixtures and light switches allow you to make the lights brighter for tasks such as applying makeup or shaving or to dim the lights first thing in the morning, during the night, or while enjoying a relaxing bath.

6. Touchless Faucets

A touchless faucet is one splurge you won’t regret. Available in a variety of styles and finishes, touchless faucets reduce the spread of germs, reduce water waste, and make turning water on and off a breeze – especially helpful to those suffering from arthritis or other joint pain.

7. Radiant Heat Flooring

Hate the feeling of cold tile underfoot? Installed beneath stone, tile, and hardwood floors, radiant heat flooring keeps your toes toasty warm. Plus, a thermostat allows you to set the temperature to your desired setting.

8. Mounted Towel Warmers

Imagine wrapping yourself in a soft, warm towel or robe after every shower or bath. You can do just that with a mounted towel warming rack. In addition to keeping you warm, a towel warmer helps dry your towels faster so they stay fresh longer.
