Bathrooms are very private and very important. They carry an important job, but if you aren’t upgrading the space so it feels like an oasis, you’re only covering the most basic essentials of bathing. You can relax, unwind, and feel amazing in your bathroom while you pamper yourself from head to toe so long as you take on a few of these helpful tips:

· Choose Large Format Tiles for Easy Cleaning

Tile design is ultimately up to preference, but if you want your space to feel tranquil, then you’re going to want it to be easy to clean and care for. Large format tiles offer two big benefits with this in mind. The first is that large tiles are far easier to clean. There’s less grout and fewer ridges for grime to build up on. The second is that larger tiles reflect light better due to their larger surface area. This helps your space feel light and airy.

· Splurge on the High-End Grout

Speaking of easy to clean, did you know that there are different types of grout? Always go for the higher-end option. Cheap grout is highly porous, which means it’ll start staining faster and be a pain to clean. Not only can you get grout that’s harder wearing, but you can also get grout in different colors to really bring your design to life.

· Use Lighting Like Art

Lighting plays a massive role when it comes to how any space feels. This also applies to bathrooms. Choosing the right bathroom lighting can make or break your design. You’ll want to add task lighting, overhead lighting, and even mood lighting to help your bathroom whisk you away to whatever mood you are in. You can even add a dimming element to some of your lights, so you can keep things romantic or soothing depending on what you’re in the mood for.

· Add Seating to Your Shower

Sometimes it is just nice to sit and enjoy the heat. While a bathtub is a great way to do this, when you have time to really soak in the experience, most of the time, you’ll be showering. Adding a bench to any shower can help you rest better while you get ready for the day, but wood options will rot quickly and feel terrible to the touch. Other options can be clunky.

One of the best options is to have the seating built directly into your shower. This way, it’s made of tile, supportive, and comfortable.

· Upgrade the Facets

Splurge on your facets. How they look and perform is going to play such a massive part in your experience. While most people focus on upgrading their shower heads or adding extra jets for a luxurious experience, many forget about the sink tap. From washing your hands to your face, there are plenty of instances you’ll be using that sink. That’s why all fixtures need to be beautiful and highly functional for you to create a stunning oasis where you can relax.
