Transform Your Bathroom Into A 5* Hotel

Around the world, the luxury hotel market has never been so competitive, and hotels know that a supremely stylish, luxurious bathroom can make the difference between a repeat visit and a one night stand. So they are falling over themselves to provide their guests with opulent design and stylish touches that make their stay truly memorable.

But while most people’s hotel experience ends when the key is handed in and the account settled, there are a number of things you can do to get the hotel look in your own bathroom.

A simple way to make your home bathroom look like a hotel bathroom in seconds is to have a row of miniature bottles of luxury toiletries. As they’re small, even the most exclusive hand washes and hand creams will be relatively cheap, and you can really go to town with the ingredients. Try the geranium and orange hand cream by Neal’s Yard or the cotton haze hand soap by Meraki. And since it’s your own bathroom, you won’t feel compelled to nick them when you’re finished.

Jazz it up

Some of the world’s finest hotels are heavily inspired by – or indeed helped to create – art deco (think The Ritz or The Savoy) and with a few subtle changes you could be transported back to the jazz age. The key material is brass, so scour the local antique shops for brass bathroom fittings, small shelves and accessories for a genuine vintage look. And if you’re really lucky, you may find a vintage wash stand as a stunning example of art deco elegance.
