The quiet luxury aesthetic prioritizes quality, classiness, and timeless elegance. These traits make it a trend you can embrace without worrying that it’s just a new fad that will soon be outdated. If your primary bathroom is “so early 2000s” or just in need of some TLC, consider revamping it with this aesthetic in mind.

Make the Shower Area More Upscale

The shower is usually a bathroom’s largest fixture, so let’s start here. Begin by cleaning the tile, glass, and metal and removing clutter like old razors or empty shampoo bottles. Next, look for opportunities to replace cheap or flashy items with something that exudes quality and excellent taste. With mixed metals also trending, you might wish to introduce a warm, aged finish if your bathroom is currently dominated by chrome. For example, you could replace your existing shower pull with something along of the lines of this classy handle in brushed bronze . Just make sure the new handle is compatible with your door’s glass thickness and existing installation hole.

Other items to upgrade may include:

bath mat

soap, shampoo, and body wash decanters

shower head

You also want to look at your shower storage situation. If there’s a plastic caddy hanging on the shower head or plastic shelves stuck to the wall with suction cups, try replacing these with a teak wood shower stool.

Choose a Warm, Classic Color Palette

The quiet luxury aesthetic also calls for tones that are warm and tasteful. Look for inspiration from earth-tones and soothing neutrals. Lighter colors work well for large areas like the bulk of the wall, floor, and ceiling. Deep colors like navy or terracotta can also be included for balance. Natural items such as stone and unpainted wood also bring in the perfect hues for this vibe.

Look to Replace Glitz with Understated Elegance

The quiet luxury style is all about quality and elegance that are not loud, overstated, or glitzy. Here are examples of items you might want to ditch:

Hollywood style makeup mirror surrounded by lights

Neon wall art

Fluorescent colored towels, curtains, or bath mat

Wall hangings with faux wood frames

Replace such items with timeless looks, natural materials, and quality alternatives. Instead of a wall full of bargain-aisle prints, for example, you could hang a single work by a local artist in the classical style. Bright terrycloth towels could be set aside in favor of linen or Turkish cotton alternatives in white, cream, or a muted tone.

Go Natural

Items from nature are part of just about every trending look these days. If you can’t replace large fixtures like the sink and vanity, find other opportunities to bring in materials like stone and unpainted wood. For instance, you could keep extra towels in a wooden bowl or a reed basket. Living plants also go a long way toward giving the space a quiet and refreshing vibe. Shower shelves, the vanity counter, and even window sills offer great surfaces for a plant display. But if you can’t find a spot for plants, you could install glass walls shelves on metal clamps for an extra surface. Be sure to do a bit of research to find plants suited to the lighting and moisture level of your bathroom, and you’ll be amazed at the difference some greenery can make!
