Luxurious bathrooms are becoming quite the must have these days. I was watching a segment on the Today show this week about the trend of high end bathrooms.
"Today’s bathrooms are all about luxury and excess", says Merideth Viera. Excess to the tune of six figures for some make overs. But not everyone is that fortunate to spend more on a bathroom than for say…a home!
"According to one survey (the American Standard Bathroom Habits Survey),
most Americans reveal they would spend between $2,500 and $7,500 to
remodel and decorate their bathrooms. 30% would be willing to spend
more than $10,000 to make their bathroom the ultimate dream bathroom." says Barbara Corcoran a real estate expert and columnist in New York.
In her post Bathrooms with Bling, she shares a list of over the top features for high end bathrooms. Here are just a few,
– Flat screen TVs, sometimes embedded in the bathroom mirror
– Stereo surround sound
– Refrigerated vanity drawers storing tub-side beverages
– Wood-burning fireplaces
– Windows and French doors with views to die for
A few of my favorites that I found were, heated toilet seats, warming drawers for towels, and my very favorite…extravagant bathtubs! Who wouldn’t want to bathe in these beauties???
What a relaxing atmosphere! Love the lighting under the tub.

It made me wonder if you had that kind of extra cash
lying around, what kind of extreme bathroom would you design? Let us know.
