Choose a Soothing Monochromatic Color Scheme
When you go to a spa, why is it that you feel relaxed as soon as you enter it? It is because the colors are soothing. Your bathroom is not much different from a spa. Most of the luxury bathrooms you visit will have the same rule applied to them. They will be painted in natural hues.
Create that spa vibe by choosing a monochromatic color scheme. A neutral color is not necessary for your monochromatic scheme. You can paint the bathroom in a beautiful blue or aqua color in multiple shades.
Creating a monochromatic color scheme is easy. Select a soothing color for the bathroom and then add darker and lighter shades of the same color. For instance, if your wall is painted in aqua color, you can paint your cabinets in a darker shade of the same color.
Update Your Rugs and Towels
The only way to add texture and warmth in your bathroom is by adding towels and rugs (yes, rugs). When you are looking for the towels for your bathroom, choose towels that have rich details such as embroidered edges, monogramming, and ribbon trim. Turkish towels are a good option because they dry easily and have a light-weight feel.
Many people may not be familiar with the idea of placing a rug in the bathroom, but it doesn’t mean that can’t be done. Rugs instantly give a luxurious vibe and create comfort. If your bathroom is big enough, you can place the rug away from the bathtub etc. You can easily get area rugs online or from any local store.

Bring In the Greenery
I love bathrooms that give an outdoor vibe! Another technique used in decorating expensive bathrooms is by bringing in the greenery and nature. The purpose is to make your bathroom look relaxing and comfortable. What is more relaxing than nature?
Most expensive bathrooms use the outdoors as the primary design element. If you want to decorate your bathroom like that, look for ways in which you can bring the outdoor elements inside. For example, new window treatments will let more light in. Buy some plants and artwork showing plants. Not only will they make your bathroom look amazing, but will also radiate positive energy.
Paint the Wainscoting in a Neutral Color
Usually, people think that they have to paint the wainscoting white when it is not true. Yes, the color white has its own grace but painting the area in a neutral color will have a better effect. Even in the neutral colors, you have a vast number of shades to choose from.
For such painting projects, you should check the sample of the new color first. Use a piece of wainscoting and paint the colors on it. In this way, you can move the sample around the bathroom and get an idea from all the angles. It will help you make the right decision.

Use Tiles
Tiles can create a Zen retreat style bathroom. When you are redecorating your bathroom, it means you also have to redo the outdated tub surround.
