\n<\/a>Have you ever stayed a beautiful luxurious hotel with a gorgeous bathroom you could spend all day primping in, and wondered why it feels so different from your bathroom at home? Not just the bells and whistles and specific elements one bathroom may have that yours doesn\u2019t, but rather the overall feel of it — a great hotel bathroom is distinctly lavish in a way that residential bathrooms are rarely designed to be. But if that feeling is what you\u2019re in search of, read on. Here are 10 Features of Luxurious Modern Bathrooms to help you transform yours into a luxurious spa-like escape:<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Transform Your Home Bathroom into a Luxury Escape<\/b><\/h3>\n

Seamlessness<\/span><\/h2>\n

Modern baths invoke a feeling of seamlessness: The surfaces are sharp and smooth and flow into one another. Backsplashes run the full length of the walls and showers are \u2018walk-in.\u2019 Some may not even have doors that swing or slide open, but rather a single panel separating the shower from the rest of the space. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Neutral\/Monochromatic Color Palettes<\/span><\/h2>\n

Color palettes are kept neutra and monochromatic. Avoiding pops of colors, even in the linens, maintains the notion of seamlessness and sense of calm. A focus on contrasting textures will give your modern bathroom a luxurious, designer feel: A smaller format tile in one shade of off-white next to a larger tile wall in a similar shade<\/span><\/p>\n

The Backlit Mirror<\/span><\/h2>\n

The backlit mirror has become a main checklist item in the modern bath. Not only is the lighting incredibly flattering, (you always want to light vanities straight on, rather than overhead to eliminate shadows) it\u2019s also hidden. No wires or distracting fixtures. Again: seamless. And another point on lighting…<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Controllable Lighting<\/span><\/h2>\n

In addition to flattering vanity lighting, you also want general overhead lighting and task lighting: Consider putting overhead and vanity lighting on dimmers or including day and nighttime settings and consider floor or under cabinet lighting to account for specific tasks in your modern bath. <\/span><\/p>\n
