Your bathroom should be exceptionally functional—and it should feel like a daily retreat where every surface invites you to linger. At Speas Interior Design, we believe that true luxury is about creating deeply personal, effortlessly livable spaces that evolve with you—especially spaces like bathrooms.
Today’s most coveted bathrooms blend resort spa indulgences with intelligent, adaptable design decisions to ensure that your bathroom remains a source of joy for decades.
The New Spa Sanctuary
It’s time to widen those cramped showers and upgrade from base builder finishes. Instead, our team at Speas Interior Design can create a modern luxury bathroom space that exceeds expectations for a truly holistic experience.
Let’s start with some of the biggest features that help to create a more luxurious and spa-like bathroom:
- Steam Showers: Steam showers are the perfect way to create a spa like experience at home. Steam showers now have multiple add-ons to make your relaxation exactly what you need; from aromatherapy wells to create the perfect scent, speakers to play meditative music, chromatherapy lights set to certain colors for specific psychological effects, or movie streaming to zone the world out. Individually or collectively, these features allow you to echo the tranquility of a luxury spa retreat.
- Body Jets and Massaging Handheld Showers: Your new favorite therapist? Wall-mounted, water powered, and conveniently located in your bathroom. Whether you are super physically active, recovering from an injury, or simply love to feel the water on your back, there are numerous shower head types and configurations that can be used to melt the tension away as body jets mimic the healing power of hydrotherapy.
- Freestanding Tubs: A sealed concrete or copper freestanding tub is a must-have for many homeowners who want to relax in a soaking tub. This creates a sculptural centerpiece in your bathroom oasis.
- Sensory Textures: Mosaics that mimic river stones, velvet-finished large-format tiles, and warm wood vanities all add tactile depth to a design.
- Sculptural Fixtures: Matte black, aged brass, or polished nickel fittings in fluid or architectural shapes turn faucets and shower systems into functional jewelry.
Luxury Bathroom Design for All Stages of Life
True luxury anticipates your changing needs. We integrate accessible and timeless design solutions seamlessly, so your bathroom design never compromises comfort or safety for style. Consider the value of curbless showers with linear drains and wide doorways to ensure easy navigating and access. Full-length benches aren’t just for relaxation—they’re functional anchors that allow for storage and seating. Floating vanities and comfort-height toilets with bidet seats are also ways we can offer ergonomic design without sacrificing sleek and modern aesthetics.
Functional and Adaptable Lighting
When designing any space—including bathrooms—layered illumination is key in creating mood and defining spaces.
- Dimmable perimeter recessed cans with LED bulbs or mud-in LED strip lights create bright utility lighting for cleaning or getting ready in the evenings.
- Adjustable sconces are great for tasks where you may need more light, like for a custom vanity or dressing area.
- Lit mirrors in spaces where you apply makeup or shave offer direct adjustable lighting on your task.
- Subtle toe kick lighting on motion sensors provides for safer handsfree nighttime navigation.
- For window treatments, we recommend durable and easy-to-clean options that open and close with automation when your windows are tough to reach and opt for manual control when the window is easily accessible. Choose from styles like metal or faux wood blinds, water-resistant shutters, or shades with performance fabrics containing antimicrobial and antibacterial properties designed to stand up to heat, moisture, and humidity.
Small Luxury Bathroom Ideas Engineered for Your Life
- Warmth Underfoot: Radiant heated floors (extended into showers!) for comfort on chilly Colorado mornings.
- Smarter Surfaces: Easy-clean, non-porous materials like large-format porcelain tiles, epoxy grout, and quartz counters and wall insets ensure maintenance is minimal, not a chore.
- Adaptable Planning: During construction plan blocking for future grab bars in key areas for support down the road. If support is needed now, many plumbing accessory series offer matching grab bars that, with proper blocking, can be utilized for hanging towels or support getting in and out of the shower.
Speas Interior Design Makes The Difference
Designing a forever-comfortable bathroom sanctuary or gorgeous powder room requires foresight. As your partners, we ask the big questions like “How do you want to feel in this space? What routines matter most in your daily life and could be improved?” We create a full plan for lighting, plumbing fixtures, and design elements early, avoiding costly changes mid-build. We work with you to select finishing touches to align with your budget, prioritizing investments (like a heated shower bench) that elevate your daily life.
Imagine stepping onto warm tile floors as daylight illuminates your view of Pikes Peak. Imagine sinking into a deep tub or enjoying a large shower designed for you.
