The best bathrooms feel like a personal spa, beautiful and functional in equal measure. Here are the upgrades that take a bathroom from standard to premium, and what we deliver as part of a Baths R Us renovation.
1. Install a rainfall shower
For elevating your daily shower, a rainfall shower head is hard to beat. Combined with our seamless acrylic walls, the effect is closer to a high-end hotel than a builder-grade bathroom. Rainfall heads integrate cleanly into our shower system.
2. Upgrade to a custom-fit acrylic surround
Most homeowners think luxury means natural marble. In a daily-use bathroom, marble means scratching, etching, sealing, staining, and constant maintenance. A premium acrylic surround in a stone-look finish gives you the look without any of the maintenance trade-offs. Combined with no grout lines, the wall stays looking new for decades.
3. Install a freestanding or premium built-in bath
A freestanding bath delivers spa-quality elegance. A premium built-in bath surrounded by a continuous acrylic wall delivers a different but equally luxurious feel: clean lines, easy entry, and a seamless transition from bath to wall surface. Both are options as part of a Full Bathroom renovation.
4. Choose a premium vanity and statement faucet
A statement vanity changes the feel of the whole room. Vessel sinks add drama; integrated sinks feel modern and clean. As part of our Full Bathroom service, we install vanities to your spec and pair them with the faucets you choose.
5. Upgrade to a smart toilet
Smart toilets with heated seats, integrated bidets, and self-cleaning functions are one of the highest-impact luxury upgrades. They install in place of your existing toilet and give the room a clear hotel-bathroom feel.
6. Optimize lighting (with your electrician)
Layered lighting (ceiling, sconces, lit mirrors) sets the mood. New lighting circuits go to your electrician. We design the bathroom around the lighting plan you choose.
7. Separate the toilet from the rest of the bathroom
In larger bathrooms, putting the toilet behind a partial divider or in its own enclosed compartment is a small change that pays back daily. We can build the divider as part of a Full Bathroom.
8. Use high-quality, low-maintenance materials
The fastest way to lose the luxury feel is to install materials that look great in year one and tired by year five. Premium acrylic, solid-surface vanity tops, and quality fixtures hold up. For a full breakdown, see our best bathroom materials guide.
9. Eliminate grout
This belongs on every luxury list and rarely makes it. Grout discolors. Grout grows mold. Grout is the maintenance burden in any “luxury” tile bathroom. Our acrylic wall system has no grout. The room stays looking premium with a wipe-down.
10. Integrate storage
Visual clutter kills the luxury feel. A vanity with deep drawers, a tall linen tower, and a recessed mirror cabinet handle most everyday items. Clean surfaces, calm room.
A note on what we don’t do
We don’t install hand-laid mosaic, natural stone slab, or ornate tile work. If those are non-negotiable for your luxury vision, another remodeler is the right fit. If you want the luxury look without the maintenance, we’d love to talk.
