Pedestal-style bathtubs are another luxury trend that is in high demand. As a modernized take on the antique claw foot tubs, a free-standing bathtub can add style and elegance to your new bathroom—not to mention added functionality.

Natural-looking tiles

While it might not be practical to tile your bathroom with real stone or hardwood, there is a great option that still allows you to create that natural feel. By using an ink jet printer to print porcelain or ceramic tiles to look just like stone or hardwood, you can achieve a natural look without sacrificing durability.

Remember: your bathroom should be your oasis. Why skimp on luxury when these three small upgrades can quickly transform your space into an at-home spa?
