Basements have long been favored as laundry rooms and

storage spaces. However, of late, the trend has swung towards turning basement

spaces into gym rooms, bedroom suites and even luxury bathrooms. The reason why

creating a bathroom in the basement is a good idea is because you get a lot

more space to use and you can create a dream bathroom without taking the space

away from an existing upstairs bedroom. Here are some cool ideas that you can

use when creating a basement bathroom.



1. Hotel inspired

Hotel chic remains a great remodeling theme. You can always

turn you basement into a luxury bathroom that is inspired by the bathrooms of

higher end suites in 5-star hotels. Such a bathroom would feature plenty of

hotel inspired décor bits like framed pictures and plants.

2. Homey and

minimalistic basement bathroom



A basement bathroom can be made to look chic with a clever

use of dark colored finishes, crisp angles and hidden lights. To make it look

homey, you can always add a framed picture and a trendy light scone.

3. Traditional villa-inspired

A lot of people simply love the gorgeous stone bathrooms that

are a staple for villas and mansions made using concrete. However, these are

too heavy for master suites of most regular homes though you can always create

one in the basement without worrying about straining the floor in upper floors

of your home.

4. Spa themed

If you love the glamorous interiors of spas, you can always

create such a space in your basement. Remember to use plenty of stone/faux

stone finishes, plants and barely there lights to create a mysterious

environment.

5. A bachelor’s

provides them with.
