Creating Your Relaxing Master Bathroom

by Lauren Busser Direct from the Designers™’ Editorial Director

Your bathroom can be an oasis where you'll relax and leave the cares of the day behind, and you can outfit it with luxurious bathroom products to make your bath the perfect spot to pamper yourself. From tubs designed for your rest and relaxation, to heated floor and towel racks and even high-tech toilets it's easy to select products that will add ultimate luxury to your master bathroom.

Whirlpool Tubs

Whirlpool tubs are a terrific way to unwind. And today, they've got a broad variety of technology designed to enhance your bathing experience. One of our favorite tubs on the market now is the Tea-for-Two® Effervescence Bath from Kohler®. This whirlpool tub has many hydrotherapy options to help you get the most out of a relaxing bath, including whirlpools, backjets, neckjets, effervescence and chromatherapy.

The Tea-for-Two® Effervescence Bath has 6 hydromessage jets that can be individually adjusted for water flow and direction, a variable speed pump for adjusting massage intensity, as well as 10 backjets to target your lower back and shoulders and encourage deep breathing. It even has an adjustable neckjet pillow with two jets for a stress-relieving neck message. The Tea-for-Two® also has eight effervescence ports that deliver jets of gentle, caressing bubbles. The added chromatherapy lets you select whatever color scheme suits your mood.

Rain Showers

Get a luxurious clean with a rain showerhead. Rain showers give you a gentle clean and create the feeling of standing in a warm rain storm. The WaterTile® Ambient Rain® Overhead Rain Shower from Kohler® has the added luxury of chromatherapy. WaterTile® comes with several preset chromatherapy options or you may select your own colors from the color wheel. Chromatherapy can be beneficial and help you clear your mind and harmonize your body’s energy, and the built-in chromatherapy in WaterTile® will soothe you with this mood-enhancing light.

Luxury Toilet

You can find many luxury toilets when you start to design your bathroom. Last year, Kohler® launched their Numi® toilet. Numi® is Kohler’s® most advanced toilet, designed to integrate comfort with cleansing. While Numi’s® exterior looks striking, it's packed with technology and with unrivaled water efficiency it sets a new standard of excellence.

This luxury toilet features a motion-activated cover and seat, with sensors that react to your movement when you enter and leave the room for hands-free opening and closing. Sensors at floor level activate motors that raise and lower the seat. Numi® also features advanced bidet functionality with multiple options for water spray patterns and the ability to adjust position, water pressure and temperature.

Numi® also features an integrated air dryer, deodorizer, heated seat and foot warmer for the ultimate in personal comfort. You can also play your favorite MP3s, FM radio or other media from any BLUETOOTH® device.

Heated Floors

A great way to add luxury and real comfort to your bathroom is to install a heated floor. Heated floor systems like the Nuheat® Cable System allow contractors to work around curves and angles and once installed, the Cable System doesn’t significantly raise floor height. Nuheat’s® Cable System is also approved for wet areas making it perfect for your bathroom. Nuheat® makes it easy. You can simply measure the heated area of your floor and then fill out their online form to get a quick quote.

There is nothing better than a nice warm towel after your bath or shower, and we love Wesaunard Heated Towel Racks for that very reason. With a number of designs, from simple clean lines to elaborate Victorian styles you are sure to find one that fits your décor and taste.
