There’s a lot to love about a luxury hotel: room service, a big TV, and of course, a swanky bathroom to freshen up in. Hotel bathrooms offer touches of glam and a sense of appreciation for the finer things in life with sleek finishes, calming lighting, and spa-like features. But what if you could have all of that in your own California home?
Guess what? You can! With the right design elements and the help of experts from True North Kitchen and Bath, you can recreate everything you love about hotel bathrooms in your very own oasis. Here are a few of our top ideas for bringing the hotel home with you:
Bring a sense of luxury and relaxation to your bathroom with elegant statement fixtures. Freestanding tubs serve as glamorous focal points—and they’re perfect for soaking. When it comes to showers, nothing says “luxury” like a rainfall showerhead. Additionally, wall-mounted faucets and floating vanities are great options for a clean, modern look.
The right finishes can also give your bathroom the perfect high-end feels. Consider brushed gold, matte black, or polished chrome. No matter what your preference is, the design experts at True North can make your bathroom redesign dreams a reality.
Don’t underestimate the power of perfect lighting! There are so many opportunities to create the perfect relaxing mood in your space with task lighting, ambient lighting, and accent lighting.
Dimmable sconces and backlit mirrors can bring a hotel-style glow to a bathroom, so you always feel like you’re cleansing and getting ready in the lap of luxury. Warm lighting temperatures (27000-3000K) help create a soft, calming vibe to help you unwind during self-care time. So say goodbye to fluorescence!
Have you ever noticed how sleek hotel bathrooms feel? That’s because they prioritize minimal, intentional design that eliminates clutter and busyness. Carry that through at home with smart storage solutions like built-in shelving, niches, and drawers to tuck away your everyday items. Drawer organizers and pull-out cabinets will help maintain a clean, calming surface.
This doesn’t mean to have to eliminate personal touches, though. Open shelving can help display curated decor and neatly folded towels. That way, you can feel at home in your space—while still benefiting from a minimalist design.
The right materials can completely transform a space. If you’re after that luxurious, hotel-inspired feel, consider options like natural stone, large-format tile, and textured finishes for a premium look.
Kick things up a notch with marble, quartz, or travertine countertops for a truly upscale feel. Or bring warm and contrast to the room with wood vanities and accents. Meanwile, floor-to-ceiling tile or wall paneling can elevate the entire space. The opportunities are endless—there’s a hotel-like option suited to every taste!
When it comes to bringing a sense of calm to your home, choosing the right color palette is crucial. For those seeking a relaxing, spa-like environment like you might find in a hotel bathroom, neutrals are a strong contender.
Hotels tend to stick to earth tones, soft whites, and cool grays, as these hues help soothe the senses. They’re perfect for unwinding at the end of the day or easing into your morning with some well-deserved “me-time.” From there, you can add a bit of luxurious contrast with dark tones like charcoal, navy, and black for accents.
You may also consider layering in soft materials like linen curtains, woven rugs, or natural wood to keep it feeling organic and bring a real sense of comfort to your oasis.
What’s a hotel bathroom without a little something to make you go “ooooh”? And who’s to say you don’t deserve to have the finer things in life in your own home? To really bring the hotel experience to your bathroom, treat yourself to luxury touches like plush towels, a bath tray, candles, or even a eucalyptus shower bundle.
Other fantastic, high-end elements to consider include built-in speakers, towel warmers, or underfloor heating—why not enjoy spa-level comfort from home?
You don’t have to go all-out, though. Even small changes like upgrading your mirror or switching to uniform bottles can make a big difference. Consider what luxury means to you and how you can incorporate it on a small scale, then go from there.
All in all, a hotel-inspired design is about experience, not just looks. At True North Kitchen and Bath, we’re dedicated to nailing your ideal bathroom vibe in your redesign. Our highly experienced team will work with you and your budget to figure out exactly what luxury means to you—and how we can ensure you get that experience every single day.
