Tired of your old, worn-out bathroom fixtures and drab design? 2014 is upon us and there’s no better time than now to remodel your master bathroom and add a little luxury to your bathing experience!

More and more, homeowners are looking to get more out of their master bathrooms than just a place to bathe. They are becoming a private retreat – a spa within the comfort of your own home – and a place to unwind and relax from the stresses of everyday life.

Below are six luxury bathroom features that, when added to your master bathroom remodel, will help to make it your favorite room in the house.

  • Heated Floors – Nothing says luxury like stepping out of a hot shower or bath onto a warm tile floor. Radiant heating mats can be placed below tile floors to help warm the area outside of the tub and shower or even laid throughout the entire room to provide a comfortable and relaxing exit after you bathe.
  • Steam Showers – Steam showers have been used since the days of the ancient Romans as treatments for a range of physical ailments – from chest infections to joint pain – as well as to increase circulation and metabolism to help with weight loss. Unlike saunas, which surround an individual with coarse dry heat, steam showers wrap people with comforting, warm, relaxing air that is gentle on the respiratory system and has the power to penetrate deep into sore muscles and bones to relieve strain and stress.
  • Jacuzzi Tubs – There is nothing better after a long, hard day at work than to slip into a hot, steamy, bubbling tub and let the water wash away the stress and soreness of the day. Jacuzzi tubs are available in a myriad of shapes a sizes – perfect for whatever size space you have to work with – and include many custom features such as whirlpool jets, thermostat controls, hydro massage systems and many more.
  • Dual Vanities with Anti-Fog Mirrors – Rushing around after a relaxing shower or bath because you and your spouse both need to use the vanity is counter productive to the rest and rejuvenation you just received. So, why not avoid the bathroom traffic by including a dual-vanity system into the design, which can be incorporated into almost any moderately-sized bathroom space. Try adding in anti-fog mirrors to eliminate annoying steam buildup from the shower or bath.
  • Gas Fireplaces – A gas fireplace can add a sense of ambiance and romance to your new bathroom. With a huge variety of prefabricated gas fireplace designs – from classic to sleekly modern – homeowners can find a perfect fit for any type or size bathroom straight out of the box. In addition to the elegance a fireplace can add to a room, it can also be used in place of heated floors if they are not practical.
  • Towel Warmers – Wrapping up in a warm, soft towel after a nice relaxing shower or bath is the perfect ending to a home spa experience. Towel warmers can be incorporated into a vanity or even right into a bathtub housing to provide you with immediate warmth as if the towels are right out of the dryer.
