Luxury Winter Style for your bathroom
With winter in full swing, there’s no better time to make your interiors as cosy as possible – and when it comes to bathrooms, the luxury trend from this year is a great one to indulge in. Whether your idea of luxury is a sanctuary-like space with minimalist aesthetics, or something filled with different textures and colours, how you interpret the luxury look is up to you.
For some inspiration on how you can transform your bathroom into a winter wonderland this festive season, read to the end of the blog to find out what we recommend …
Indulge in little luxuries this winter and make your bathroom warm and welcoming.
Add opulence with marble-effect tiling
If you want to bring some luxury style to your space, then marble-effect tiling is a great way to add opulence without the high-end price tag. The Brasilia Emerald Polished Rectified Porcelain Tile will add instant wow factor to your bathroom with its rich green tone, interspersed with decadent gold and cream veining detail. It also has a polished finish which is great for reflecting light and helping to make your bathroom feel more spacious, while the rectified edges mean the tiles can be laid more closely together for a seamless look. The large rectangular size will also help in making the room appear bigger.
Made from hard-wearing porcelain, these tiles are ideal for humid bathrooms and high-traffic areas, giving you all the benefits of tiling but with that luxury marble look. The colour palette also adds a festive warmth, unlike colder marble designs dominated by paler tones.

Add ambience with LED lighting
Good lighting, especially in the darker days of winter, is also an easy way to add a rich, luxury vibe to your bathroom, with LED mirrors being a great option in this respect. With long-lasting energy-efficient lights combined with stylish designs, a mirror can enhance your bathroom in lots of different ways.
For example, opting for a mirror with a brushed brass frame, such as the Brushed Brass Round Frame Mirror with Colour-change, will add a gilded look and warm accent tones to your interior.
With a choice of both warm and cool-white lighting, this mirror allows you to create your preferred ambience, while it also comes with a built-in heated demister pad. Activated via a handy touch sensor, you can therefore say goodbye to steamed-up glass while you shower or bathe.
The Brushed Brass Round Frame Mirror with Colour-change has two different light settings and will bring a luxury gilded look to your bathroom.
With a large round shape, the Brushed Brass Round Frame Mirror also has a substantial surface area so will provide ample reflection, while the large size will help to bounce natural light around the room.
Indulge in extra vanity areas
Upgrading your vanity unit is another great way to add a luxury, indulgent vibe to your bathroom. Alternatively, adding a smaller washstand to complement your existing furniture can provide extra storage space and an additional area which can be useful if you share your bathroom. The Josef Martin Cashel Floorstanding Vanity Unit and Pebble Worktop in Cordoba Maroon has a modest size and comes in a rich cordoba maroon colour, with a solid-surface pebble worktop which gives it a subtly opulent look without being over the top.
With a handy drawer at the bottom for storage, along with an open shelf above for holding towels or other items, you can customise the unit with the handle of your choice. Designed for use with a countertop basin, you can also choose your preferred style for this as well, with lots of luxurious deep basins with organic curves available.
Relax in style with spa-worthy baths
If you want to really go for it and add an indulgent bathing experience to your bathroom that’s worthy of any spa, then upgrading to a freestanding style is a surefire way to do this. With a range of designs and finishes available, you can add decadence with everything from gloss and matt black baths to copper and silverleaf styles, as well as fluted finishes and other textured looks.
For example, the Cannes Luxury Freestanding Bath in Silverleaf Finish has a smooth gloss exterior with a stunning silverleaf effect which will add wow factor to any space. The modern metallic aesthetic on the outside is subsequently contrasted with a white interior, including a white rim which runs around the periphery of the tub.
With a central waste, this double-ended bath also permits bathing at both ends, so you can relax wherever you prefer – or share it with a partner. Also available in a rich copperleaf finish, this is a statement piece of furniture which will most definitely deliver on luxury vibes for your bathroom.

Luxuriate in a cosy space
For the ultimate relaxing bathroom space in winter, heating is key, so it pays to invest in – or upgrade – your heating. Underfloor heating is perfect if you don’t have lots of space or simply don’t want to install a radiator, as this will keep the floor warm underfoot and can be controlled at the touch of a button. Ideal for keeping your bathroom cosy throughout winter, it will certainly bring a luxury feel to your home.
If, however, you prefer to have a classic radiator, the something like the Traditional English Balmoral Cast-iron Bathroom Radiator in Chrome will add visual interest as well as heating your bathroom effectively. With a gloss white finish for the radiator itself, this design also comes with a polished chrome towel rail, which is great for keeping towels warm and dry without blocking any heat. The overall aesthetic is one which combines a classis and modern style, so it will enhance your bathroom and help to make it a more welcoming and inviting space.
Immerse yourself in a rainfall shower
Whether you prefer the shower or like to have the option of both this and a bath, then the rainfall shower style is definitely worthy of any spa and will add instant luxury to your home. With these showerheads designed to deliver a gentle, immersive showering experience reminiscent of standing in a rainfall, you can subsequently enjoy a relaxing shower which will enhance your overall mood and wellbeing.
Meanwhile, if you want to elevate this even further, then the Eliseo Ricci Monsoon Waterfall Shower Tower is ideal. With an attractive chrome finish, this contemporary shower has a sleek, minimalist style, with a flat design which curves at the top into the showerhead. Fitted with thermostatic controls so you can set the water temperature, it also comes with double body jets, a handheld showerhead and, of course, that waterfall-effect main showerhead.
Guaranteed to add wow factor to your shower space in terms of both aesthetics and user experience, the Eliseo Ricci Monsoon Waterfall Shower Tower is a great all-round choice.
