Luxurious Master Baths
Wednesday, August 3, 2011 at 05:15PM In the most literal sense, the word bathroom means “a room with a bath”. Today’s master baths are anything but that. Homeowners are now incorporating luxury and style to create lavish retreats. Whether that means hanging an extravagant chandelier over a soaking tub or adding a built-in warming drawer for towels, you can incorporate luxury into any design. Although a master bath should be a calm, quiet retreat, this does not mean you have to sacrifice style.
Here are some luxurious master baths that we love.....

I love this master bath, by Dana Lyon, with its luxurious Empire tub and polished nickel Etoile fixtures by Waterworks, has a view of a private enclosed garden.

I really feel that this spa-like bathroom with Waterworks Classic oval tub creates a very elegant look.

I think the Double French doors make this master bathroom designed by Karyl Pierce Paxton. The sink base is an 18th-century French buffet with Kohler fixtures.

A vanity table links a pair of mirrored bureaus fitted with sinks. I love the thick slabs of honed Calacatta marble for backsplashes and counters, along with Waterworks Opus faucet and an antique gilt mirror, complete the dressy, old-world European feeling.

In this master bath designed by J. Randall Powers, the rays of an antique starburst mirror hung in a round window are echoed in a contemporary wheelback armchair. The limestone floors, marble countertops, and alabaster urns reference ancient Roman materials.

I love how designer Barry Dixon fashioned this elegant master bath to appear as a garden room with a set of French doors that open up to a balcony. The corner table is for sipping morning coffee while lounging in a bathrobe.

In this master bathroom, designed by Paolo Moschino, a 19th-century English secretary makes a surprising focal point.

In this master bathroom, designed by William Hodgins, the greatest luxury of all: a tub with a garden view. Adding sparkle are an antique mirrored table and white basket-weave floor tile from Waterworks.
