How to bring the hotel chic trend into your bathroom

Warm metallics, spa-like styling, and that five-star feeling at home 

 

Hotel bathrooms have a way of making you feel instantly relaxed — think plush towels, soft lighting, and sleek, well-placed accessories. The good news? You don’t need a suite upgrade to get the look. With a few intentional touches, you can create a calm, elegant bathroom that feels like a boutique retreat. And one trend doing just that? Warm metallics. 

 

Why brushed brass and soft gold work so well 

Gone are the days of cold chrome. In its place: warmer metallic tones like soft gold and copper accents. These finishes feel elevated but still soft, adding depth and light to even the simplest of spaces. Whether it’s a gold-toned bin, soft-metal tapware, or a framed mirror, these accents create a calm, coordinated feel — the kind you’d find in a well-designed hotel. 

 


Pro tip: start with the small details 

The beauty of the hotel chic look is that you don’t need to redo your bathroom. It’s often in the details, so just add a few key pieces to lift the space: 

  • a gold-toned pedal bin for a subtle, luxe glow 

  • soft towels in natural tones 

  • a matching soap dispenser or toilet brush in warm metallics 

  • dimmable lighting or candles for atmosphere 



 

Less clutter, more calm 

By combining refined materials with smart design, you can turn your everyday bathroom into a place that feels genuinely restful. And honestly? You deserve it.
