Didn’t you just fall in love with your bathroom suite when you stayed at the Burj Al Arab? Oh, you haven’t stayed there? Whew! Okay, me either. We can dream, right?
If you haven’t seen what the bathrooms at the Burj Al Arab look like, you’re missing out. They’ll have you dreaming about a full-fledged Victorian style remodel of your own bathroom. The designers spared no expense when they created the bathroom suites of this incredible hotel. Each bathroom is the very definition of opulence, and while you may not be able to completely recreate their look, there are exquisite elements you can bring into your home to emulate that luxury. Let these products inspire you to create the bathroom of your dreams!
Stunning details are the key to creating a Victorian look in any room of your home. Anything plain, simple, or modern just won’t do. This striking towel rail would fit beautifully in a Victorian bathroom with its gold finish and carved rope detailing; even the feet are ornamental.
To complete the look above, you’ll also want classic gold basin taps. These Vintage Gold finish taps such as this below would blend beautifully with this vintage style decor.
The impressive showers of the Burj Al Arab are special partly because of the beautiful mosaic tile work and partly because of the shower style that you rarely see anymore. It’s much more common to see new and modern styles of showers. Take a cue from the Burj Al Arab and take a step back in time with the Tre Mercati Imperial Concealed Thermostatic Shower Valve. This gem will not only help you complete your Victorian look, but it has modern amenities. It will allow you to preset a maximum water temperature for safety in your home as well as automatically shut off in the event of a water failure.
Another feature of your bathroom to consider is the mirror, as mirrors are often focal points in a room. You could go with a mirror with a large, ornate gold frame around it or you could go with something more unique.
Other elements to consider are light fixtures and color schemes. The lights in the bathroom suites of the Burj Al Arab evoke images of torches with flames. You could also consider small chandeliers or equally decorative lights. Victorian décor is also classified by rich, saturated colors. Deep reds, blues, and purples will look royal alongside gold accents.
