6 easy ways to make your bathroom feel more luxurious, according to interior designers

• Business Insider asked interior designers to share ways to make a bathroom feel more luxurious.
• Bold wallpaper, creative tiles, and mixed metals can help elevate a bathroom.

Designing a home can feel overwhelming, especially for those who don't spend their free time scouring Pinterest or watching HGTV shows for inspiration.

Although the living room and kitchen often take center stage when talking about renovations, bathrooms are communal spaces that shouldn't be overlooked.

The good news is that it's typically unnecessary to budget for a full overhaul, as there are simple yet impactful ways to add luxurious touches to a bathroom.

Still, knowing where to start can be the hardest part. That's why Business Insider asked New York-based interior designer Alvin Wayne and Portland-based interior designer Hannah Lichtenthaler of Allison Smith Design to share ways to transform any bathroom into a luxurious space.

Here's what the experts had to say.

The hardware in your bathroom can instantly boost the space's aesthetic. Lichtenthaler recommended mixing metals, as matching hardware can be predictable.

She told BI that brass can add warmth to the room, and black is great for creating a sleek, sophisticated contrast. She recommended incorporating these touches in items like faucets or knobs.

For a more cohesive look throughout, Wayne suggests chrome, polished nickel, or stainless-steel finishes.

Remember, less is often more in a bathroom.

A minimalist mindset can deliver a chic look and prevent your bathroom from looking cluttered.

"Keeping your countertops clear with just a few accessories, such as a plant, vase, or candle, can instantly elevate your space and give it a more luxurious feel," Lichtenthaler said.
