Luxury Bathrooms
This website offers some helpful tips to make your bathroom more luxurious, using otherwise inexpensive touches. Area rugs provide a touch of softness for your feet. An area rug would also add color and texture to your bathroom, and give it life. A cushy chair or bench in the bathroom is great to relax after a bath. A towel warmer may be going over the edge, but it's another great luxury bathroom must-have. Plants and flowers have a naturally calming effect on bathroom décor, as does a radio or CD player to add to the mood of the bathroom.
