The post How To Transform Your Bathroom Into A Spa-like Sanctuary appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Having created the state-of-the-art luxury bath, architects and designers are now taking it one step further by creating tomorrow's luxury baths, today. All of which means, the feel-good bathroom has definitely made a big splash and is here to stay, as one of tomorrow's must-have luxurious rooms.

Take a plunge into these most exquisite luxury bathrooms that put the lux in luxury, and you in that luxurious spa-like state of mind.

The Horizontal Shower

Christie's International Real Estate

What about a horizontal shower that allows you to recline as you shower? Yes, it’s here and incorporates the principles of Kneippism, a philosophy promoting the health-enhancing power of water. Water is applied to different parts of your body, at different temperatures, both of which have an impact on making you feel better. You can use your shower to enhance your energy or to calm yourself down.

Reign Of The Tub

At the other end of the shower spectrum is the tub with polished silver faucets and Italian marble that lend to a flamboyant, decadent feel.

Bath enthusiasts may set the temperature and depth of their bath water, with just a click of an app while devouring the view.

Simply Spacious

Emblematic of the luxury bathroom is the freestanding tub and stunning view. The central focal point and sculptural element in this luxury bathroom is the tub itself with its organic, shell-like form that softens the room’s rectangular shape and brings indoors the serenity of the beach.

Recline and relax in this tub with curves that fit with the curves of your body.

The Private Sanctuary With Oceanview

The master en suite bath is now so luxurious and similar to one that might be enjoyed at a sybaritic resort. Soak in a soothing bubble bath while savoring the most tranquil, daring beach views imaginable. Open up a sliding door and experience the most perfect, private, personal sanctuary.

His-And-Hers-Suite

The sequence of the mundane morning routine has been elevated to a level of enjoyment that is hedonistic. Each half of the couple can get out of their side of the bed, walk into a bathroom with enough elbow room to keep the romance alive.

Shaving has never been so pleasurable.

The Bath With Exquisite City View

In the high-end residential skyscrapers that are now altering the New York City skyline, the ability to gaze down upon Manhattan or take in a breathtaking view of the Hudson River, while bathing and showering is very much a must-have.

While the rest of a penthouse has become an open-floor plan to suit modern, sociable lifestyles, the bathroom has become an even more private space. Offering an escape from the hubbub and chaos of the city, a picture window keeps the sleek tub at center stage, in terms of the view and personal wellness.

Sophistication has become ramped up to create that worldly bathroom that pleases the escapist, the lounger, the romanticist and the all-out hedonist. Whether it's choosing large-format stone and marble slabs or handmade elements that showcase craftsmanship, the end result of the creation of any ultra-deluxe luxury bathroom must be a perfect, private spa-like experience.

1. A Luxurious Waterfall: Enjoy the gentle cascade of water while surrounded by minimalistic beauty in this gorgeous bathroom. Clean lines and neutral tones keep the room looking stylish, while a centrally placed tub and statement-making showerhead set the stage for ultimate relaxation.

2. City Views: This gorgeous marble bathroom is clean, stylish and modern. By inviting the skyline in, the bathroom lets its occupants simultaneously retreat from the world and look out over it with awe. The grandiose design features his-and-hers sinks, matching mirrors, and a statement chandelier above a custom marble bathtub.

3. A Living Wall: Living walls — walls lined with live plants — are a popular bathroom trend, and they certainly add a zen element to any space. This bathroom makes good use of the plants by positioning them around a porcelain soaking tub on a bed of natural pebbles. All of these natural touches are perhaps second-best, however, to the sprawling views of the city below.

4. A Country Oasis: It doesn't matter whether your property is in the city or the country... This rustic yet elegant design incorporates the best of both words. A large basin tub is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a glass of wine, especially in an open-air space like this one. A vintage brick wall and exposed wooden beams complete the look.

5. Style with Tile: Keep your bathroom looking fun and playful while maintaining a sense of classic elegance by incorporating well-chosen tile patterns. This bathroom utilizes a black-and-white design along the floors and behind shower shelves, while keeping the rest of the room bright and neutral. Paired with greenery and plentiful natural light, the bathroom comes across as open, airy and boundless.

6. Classic Elegance: If you want a relaxing retreat but have elegant taste, strike the perfect balance with this beautiful design. Ornate crystal chandeliers enhance the luxuriousness and femininity of the bathroom, as do pretty touches such as a ceramic Buddha statue and a Victorian-inspired bench. Meanwhile, neutral cement walls, skylights and a walk-in shower keep the space feeling open and spacious.

7. Living the Dream: This artistic, ethereal and whimsical bathroom features two separate spaces: a dressing room and a soaking room complete with a tub and open-air showerheads. Bubble lighting, soft colors, rose gold finishes and marble flooring complete the dreamy look of the space.

“Our main focus went through escaping the cross-design that has been done in the past using other brand’s style pieces but at the same time trying not to escape the Maison Valentina identity and its luxury authenticity,” said designer Joao Matias.

Here are Maison Valentina’s latest KOI additions.

PETRA bathtub
Blending Ibiza marble and wood, this bathtub draws inspiration from the ancient city of Petra. Matching the visual uniqueness of the stone city, the tub combines glossed wood and disparate shades of white in a luxurious look.

PETRA washbasin
With its intense dark body and melted-marble-like sink, the washbasin is a natural complement to the PETRA tub.

TORTOISE washbasin
The Tortoise hard outer shell has for century made for an opulent raw material. Its one-of-a-kind decorative pattern is fully revealed with this washbasin, speckled with hues of black, grey and golden.

KOI Mirror
Able to add a contemporary touch to any bathroom design, this mirror fuses design references from two distinct cultures. Its overall shape reminds of the family crests of European nobility, while its two side openings evoke carp scales – a major Japanese symbol.

KOI Soap Dish & ELLA towel ring
Shaped like carp scales, these are two other pieces that borrow its design from the rich Japanese sensitivities.

ELLA puff
Harking back to ancient Greece, this puff offers both relaxation and luxury.

Over 22,000 Swarovski crystals cover the surface of this incredible Saracen bath by Catchpole & Rye. What glamorous gal wouldn’t want to glitter, even in her bathtub? Socialite Tamara Ecclestone revealed she spent £1m on a blinged-out crystal bathtub in 2012, so, continuing on this trend (on perhaps a more realistic design budget), Harrods will sell Catchpole & Rye’s equally glamorous tub for £150,000 (over $195,000 US).

The Swarovski crystals on the claw-footed bath can be customized in gold, blue, or green, and the tub is created from cast metal featuring an enamel interior. Crafted by hand, it took over 200 hours of manpower to create this dazzling statement piece.

Managing Director Tony O’Donnell speaks of the idea to Daily Mail: “It was to do something exotic. We did a job for a princess in the middle east and she was very much into her bling, and that's where the idea stems from. There is a huge amount of work that goes into it, hundreds of hours, it's all English craftsmanship.”

We can already image the hours we would spend in the tub, reading every book in this refined bathroom.

The chic, minimal decor of this bathroom has us in a zen-like state already.

A beautiful alternative to the standard ceramic, this cedar-lined bathroom looks perfectly natural.

Why soak when you can swim? The oversized tub in this marble-clad bathroom looks fit for royalty.
