Picture this: A luxurious shower in a metallic finish, large neutral tiles, tall palm trees in textured terracotta pots, and a double-ended bath in the corner with a chic wooden stool for your aromatherapy essentials. Sounds dreamy, right? Well, you can have a top spa-inspired bathroom design in the comfort of your home too.

All you need to do is close your eyes, imagine you’re on a tropical island and enjoy the rejuvenating experience.
