Upgrading Fixtures
The bulk of your budget priorities will likely go toward upgrades to the bathroom fixtures that touch your daily life. Some options are:

• Install a double vanity with new countertop and decorative sink

• Upgrade to a spa tub or whirlpool with massaging jets

• Replace the toilet with a more comfortable, water-efficient mode

• Install a bidet

• Upgrade the shower with water multiple body jets, a new enclosure or doors

• Increase storage by adding cabinets, shelves, and drawers

Architectural features can further enhance your master bath. If space is an issue, consider knocking out a wall to increase your square footage.  Incorporate a spacious walk-in closet. If you are replacing flooring, consider a heated floor to keep your feet comfortable. A vent fan with heat lamp provides welcome comfort when you’re stepping out of the tub or shower.

Color
Color is especially effective in setting the mood of your master bath. A soft color palette of cool pastels creates a relaxing, welcoming environment. Neutral colors can be combined with a shower curtain, towels and window treatments to bring in splashes of color for a more dynamic ambiance. Take note of color in rooms adjacent to the bathroom and achieve a smooth, complementary transition of color into the master bath. When selecting a color, bring paint and wall cover samples into the master bath and see how they look in the room’s natural and artificial light at different times of the day.

Shedding Light on Luxury
Lighting is an especially effective factor in creating a relaxing mood and comfortable ambiance in a master bath. There are plenty of options to meet any style and allow you to make the room as bright or intimate as you want. A chandelier adds a classic touch of elegance and refinement, while recessed or can lights distribute light more evenly in the space and provide a clean, contemporary look. Wall sconces create a sense of intimacy. A fireplace casts a comforting glow, adds warmth, and brings a rustic, natural ambiance to any décor. If you have an older home with a limited number of windows, consider adding a skylight to increase the amount of natural light in the room and create a sense of spaciousness. Window treatments should provide privacy while still allowing as much natural light in the room as possible.

Creature Comforts
Additional touches can change the character of your master bath. A sit-down dressing area with a comfortable chair can create a relaxing retreat. Entertainment centers are increasingly popular and can liven up your bath with a high-quality sound system -- including shower speakers -- and wall-mounted flat-screen TV. Some even install a small workstation with a table, chair and Internet connection.

Finishing Touches
Complete your master bath transformation with the little extras found in leading spas. Scented soaps and candles, luxurious lotions, and lush washcloths, towels and bathrobes complete the conversion of your master bath from ordinary bathroom to rejuvenating retreat.
