Ten design professionals reveal insights on achieving an elevated look in any bath space.

• The THG PARIS SOHO FAUCET, which has sleek lines and optical-glass handles, and the VOLA ROUND SERIES concealed wall-mounted trash can. —Tim Vander Wall of Studio IAP
• “The TAJ MAHAL QUARTZITE from ARIZONA TILE, which is light in color but has a warmer tone, adding a natural, organic element to the bathroom and easily coordinating with any décor.” — Mark Beaudoin of Arizona Tile
• “Definitely the THERMASOL PRO SERIES STEAM GENERATOR for the shower. It heats up almost instantly, and I use it every morning for an invigorating steam shower.” — Tom Hartman of Kitchen Distributors
• “ROBERN RECESSED MEDICINE CABINETS. You can add your own framing to customize, and they provide essential storage space. Mine holds everything I use in the morning and at night.” — Jeane Dole of à la carte Design
• “TOWEL WARMERS—both as warming drawers (which keep several towels toasty at once; DACOR has three sizes) and as wall-mounted racks (I like the AMBA brand). There are so many shapes and sizes—they get more flexible all the time. They work great for bathrobes as well!” — Joyce Clegg of Dream Homes Inc.

• “The WATERWORKS EMPIRE FREESTANDING BATHTUB. It looks amazing with any design style, from contemporary to traditional. It keeps water hot for hours and is without a doubt the best-looking accessory in my bathroom! Definitely a splurge I’ve never regretted.” — Paula Breuwet-Cohen of PC Designs
• “The KOHLER STARGAZE FREESTANDING HEATED BUBBLEMASSAGE BATHTUB. When a customer wants to redo their master bathroom into their own personal spa, they must have a heated bubble-massage tub!” — Trip Butler of Design First Kitchen & Bath
• “The grooming-drawer pull-out from REV-A-SHELF that you can install in WELLBORN cabinets. It makes grooming quick and easy, and you can put your curling irons and straighteners away as soon as you are done, without burning or melting the cabinets. Quick, easy and convenient!” — Steve Christie at Christie’s Design Build Remodeling
• “The KOHLER LADENA UNDERMOUNT SINK. It has perfect lines, being a rectangular sink with round corners and a deep, curved bowl. It comes in two sizes, which allows it to be installed in any size bathroom.” — Helly Swenson Duncan of Design Matters Home
• “The ROBERN AiO SINGLE-DOOR MEDICINE CABINETS. I have used them on several projects, and everyone loves the great LED lighting in just the right place, the outlets and great storage inside, as well as the additional mirror inside. They are very sleek and fit into almost any style bathroom.” — Anne Grice of Anne Grice Interiors
