Get the Look: Celebrity-Style Bathrooms for Less
There’s something irresistible about peeking into celebrity homes. High ceilings, dramatic lighting, luxurious textures – and more often than not, a bathroom that looks like it belongs in a five-star hotel. The good news? You don’t need an A-list budget to borrow the look.
With the right choices, you can recreate that “celebrity bathroom” feel at home using smart, well-designed pieces that work beautifully in real-life spaces.
Start With a Statement Bath
Most show-stopping bathrooms begin with a feature bath. A contemporary freestanding design instantly becomes the centrepiece of the room, especially when placed away from the wall or framed by beautiful tiles.
Look for elegant, sculpted shapes and soft curves to balance sharper lines elsewhere. Pair your bath with a striking floor-mounted or wall-mounted tap and you’ve already created a focal point that feels premium.
Add a Luxurious Shower Zone
Celeb-style bathrooms often include a generous shower area with clear glass and clean lines. You don’t always need a full enclosure with a door – a pair of wetroom screens can create a spacious, open-feel shower that still contains the water beautifully.
Choose 8mm glass for a solid, high-end feel, keep frames slim or frameless for a modern finish, and consider a large overhead shower head for that rainfall sensation. A separate handheld shower adds flexibility and is especially useful for families and those with limited mobility.
Double Up on Basins
Twin basins are a quiet luxury. They say “no queuing for the sink, no sharing mirror space” – just calm, organised mornings.
A wide vanity unit with two basins gives each person their own area as well as generous storage underneath. Even in medium-sized bathrooms, a double vanity can work beautifully if you keep the lines clean and choose wall-hung designs to free up floor space visually.
Layer in Warmth: Towel Rails & Lighting
Little details make a big difference to how a bathroom feels. A heated towel rail keeps towels cosy and instantly increases the sense of comfort when you step out of the bath or shower. Ambient lighting and illuminated mirrors add a soft glow that flatters both you and the room, helping to avoid harsh shadows when you’re getting ready.
Mirrors That Feel Like a Photo Shoot
In luxury bathrooms, mirrors are rarely an afterthought. They’re wide, bright and often backlit to create a flattering, almost studio-like effect.
You can use one large illuminated mirror or combine two mirrors above a double vanity for a boutique-hotel look. Frameless designs feel sleek and modern, while framed pieces can bring in warmth and texture.
Add Technology, Thoughtfully
For some, a waterproof TV is the ultimate indulgence; for others, it’s a distraction. If you love the idea of catching up on your favourite shows while you soak, a bathroom TV can be a fun extra – provided it’s installed safely by a qualified professional and placed where it doesn’t dominate the room.
Only add technology that genuinely enhances how you use the space. Luxury should feel calm, not cluttered.
Choose a Toilet That Completes the Look
Even the most glamorous bathrooms need practical fixtures that sit comfortably with the overall design. A modern close-coupled or back-to-wall toilet with soft curves and a slim seat keeps the look streamlined and easy to clean.
Bringing It All Together
Celebrity bathrooms look impressive, but behind the gloss they’re built on simple principles: good proportions, thoughtful lighting, quality fixtures and a clear design story. By choosing a freestanding bath, a generous shower space, a well-planned vanity, warming touches and a few indulgent details, you can create a space that feels just as special – without a superstar budget.
