Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

When you go to the beauty shop, do you always end up sitting under a hooded hair dryer? These dryers are more powerful than the typical handheld hair dryers, and if you prefer this method of drying to set your hair, it might be worth it to get one for the home.

The Highland Liberty Hooded Hair Dryer is of professional quality, and it’s one of Global’s largest and most powerful dryers. It has five different heat control positions, and you can adjust the height and angle. It even has a 60 minute timer so you don’t stay under it for too long.

This model is convenient for home use, because it’s portable and can be stored away. Also, it stands above most low back chairs, so you don’t necessarily have to have a salon chair.

Bathrooms come in all shapes and sizes, and sometimes it’s a designing challenge when you have a single sized potty room. Even guest bathrooms can be teeny tiny, which creates an issue for the homeowner, because you can’t put a spacious vanity with mirror in one.

When you don’t have enough room for a double sink vanity, you can resort to a bold Sedona Bathroom Vanity with Sink. This is a more sophisticated piece exquisitely crafted with carved wood and a chic granite top. Along with the linen finish sink bowl, there is also storage underneath.

This vanity measures 36”W x 20”D x 36” H, and it has unique scroll like designed handles on the cabinet. Although this vanity comes with the sink, it doesn’t include the faucet or any accessories.

The shower is a place most of us visit daily, so, if you’re remodeling anyway, why not make it a star in the bathroom?

Etched and textured doors and enclosures offer privacy, elegance, and a chance to turn the shower into a focal point in the bathroom.

You can find off-the-shelf options, and, if you have extra cash to spend, you can find companies that specialize in custom work.

The decorative enclosure shown below was done by Toronto based CBD Glass Studios. They also do vessel sinks, pedestals, and mirrors, so you can decoratively etch your whole bathroom if you want.

Have you fallen in love with several different scents? Maybe Chanel No. 5 is your signature perfume. Well, whichever perfume is your favorite, it probably comes in a beautiful bottle, so why aren’t you displaying it in your bathroom?

The Taymor Round Mirror Perfume Tray is an essential bathroom accessory for women who love to spritz on fabulous scents. This dainty tray will also give you a chance to display the elegant glass bottles, so it will make your perfume become more a part of the decor.

There are other options in styles of perfume trays, but this one has a beaded round edge with a chrome finish and cast aluminum construction. It measures 1” H and 9” in diameter. You can also find ones that are square or oval.

A quick way to update your bathroom or give it a fresh new look is to change up your bath towels. There are so many designs and even solid colors that can give your bathroom a new feel and appearance. If you love animal prints, try a simple zebra or leopard print for the summertime.

For a more subtle change, geometric patterns can modernize the bathroom. This Home Rings Bath Towel Set from Target is inexpensive, and these terry towels have a classic pattern. They’re made from 100 percent cotton, and you get three pieces (a fingertip towel, bath towel and hand towel).

So whether you prefer solids or patterns, you can find alternative bath towels to use throughout the year so you don’t get bored.

Being able to actually sit back and relax when you’re taking a bath is a nice feeling–that is, when you’re back isn’t pressed up against the ceramic bath tub. In order to create that spa like atmosphere for yourself and guests, you need the right accessories.

One essential accessory is a bath pillow, and the Earth Therapeutics Naturally Anti-Bacterial Bath Pillow is a great way to go. This is a well-cushioned bath pillow, which attaches to your tub with the suction cups. Because it’s made from naturally anti-bacterial bamboo fibers, the pillow will maintain a safe, germ free environment.

When you’re done using it, you just have to rinse it off and shake off any excess moisture. You can also wash the pillow cover, because it’s removable.

Bathrooms tend to be tight on space, so storage is almost always a concern. Sink vanities often offer cabinet-style storage, but space isn’t always utilized well.

The NC Series/S Counter Cabinet from Toto offers a stylish look as well as lots of nooks for belongings.

“Based on a classic cube shape the NC Series/S counter cabinet is open on all sides with two self-contained levels to give marked storage areas… The cube is also the starting point for the modular wall cabinets that can be attached singularly, in horizontal rows or vertical columns. The wall cabinets come in two distinct forms; one has a push-open catch, while the other is open with four equally sized shelves.”

There’s no doubt about it…clawfoot bath tubs add an immediate sense of luxury and richness to a bathroom. This type of tub might even be your dream bath tub. Well, if you’re looking for the ultimate clawfoot tub that exudes elegance to a whole other level, you definitely want to check out this one.

The Porcher Draped Clawfoot Bath Tub has a draped appearance–it actually looks like a cloth or towel has been draped across it. Along with the attention to detail that was paid to the exterior, the interior also has some exciting features. The inside of the bath includes armrests, headrests and lumbar support.

This tub comes with free inside delivery, and it’s available in multiple colors: white, biscuit, silver, spring and black.

Designing the walls of your bathroom can be frustrating. There are various tile options and patterns to decide on, but maybe the hardest part is pinning down which type of tile and design is something that you will want to look at for years to come.

Who knows how your tastes will change 10 years from now, right?

Well, one option is to settle with a simple neutral colored tile that you feel comfortable to have as the background. Then you can enhance this tile by adding a modest design or detailing with this Recycled Glass Subway Tile.

The green subway tile in particular is a more peaceful and calming color that would just accent your walls. The red might be too showy, but the green and even blue can be elegantly incorporated.

Even if you have a bathroom all to yourself, an extra sink and more counter space is always appreciated. So if you’re updating your bathroom, why not spice things up with cinnamon accents and more room for your buck?

The Pegasus Exhibit 60” Vanity comes in a rich cinnamon tone, and it has two sinks built in with plenty of storage space. It has two doors (one under each sink) and four open area shelves in the middle of the vanity for additional storage.

This vanity measures 60” x 21.625” x 34”. It has rectangular oil rubbed knobs, concealed hinges and full extension drawer glides. Since the vanity top shown isn’t included, you can put whatever type of counter that would fit your bathroom best. So if you prefer granite or another stone, this vanity can be somewhat customized.
