Bathrooms today are more than functional—they’re personal sanctuaries where comfort meets style.
For Long Island homeowners, luxury bathroom remodels offer a chance to combine everyday comfort with long-term value. At Gesmundo Designs, we’ve completed many high-end bathroom renovations across Long Island, turning ordinary spaces into sophisticated retreats that balance practicality and indulgence.
Spa-Like Features for Everyday Comfort
Spa-inspired upgrades turn everyday routines into relaxing rituals. These features bring the comfort of a professional spa into your home, offering both physical and mental wellness benefits. These touches soothe, refresh, and elevate your daily experience:
- Heated floors keep toes warm during cold Long Island winters.
- Towel warmers provide a cozy finish to every bath or shower, available in ladder styles or sleek built-ins.
- Rainfall showerheads offer a soothing experience that feels like standing in a summer rain.
- Body jets and steam features create a full hydrotherapy setup.
- Digital showers let you program water temperature and flow preferences.
- Steam showers offer health benefits and comfort, especially for relaxation and respiratory relief.
Step-Up Bathtubs Add Style and Structure
Step-up tubs are a standout feature in many luxury renovations.
These elevated bathtubs add a bold architectural element and create a sense of separation and spa-like exclusivity. Their raised platforms offer design versatility and provide opportunities to integrate materials like stone, tile, and wood for visual impact and function.
- Platform elevation creates a striking focal point.
- Design flexibility with tile, stone, LED lighting, and built-in storage.
- Practical advantages like an easier plumbing layout without major floor changes.
- Zoning separates the bath visually from the rest of the room.
- Great for views—ideal near windows for scenic soaks, especially in waterfront homes.
Natural Materials Bring Lasting Elegance
Long Island luxury bathrooms are trending toward organic, durable materials that combine natural beauty with long-term performance. Homeowners are drawn to options that feel authentic, age gracefully, and withstand daily use without sacrificing style:
- Veined marble like Calacatta and Carrara delivers timeless sophistication.
- Natural stone (limestone, travertine, slate) adds texture and depth.
- Wood elements (teak, cedar) bring warmth and resist water damage. Proper sealing and ventilation are key.
- Reclaimed materials like salvaged wood or vintage fixtures add character and reduce environmental impact.
Lighting That Sets the Mood
Layered lighting takes bathrooms from basic to beautiful by combining different types of light to enhance both function and ambiance. This approach balances practical needs, like clear visibility for grooming, with the aesthetic goal of creating a relaxing and inviting environment:
- Task lighting at mirrors supports grooming routines—think sconces at face height and backlit mirrors.
- Ambient lighting, like dimmable recessed lights and cove fixtures, adjusts mood and brightness.
- Accent lighting under vanities or inside niches highlights design details and improves safety.
- Waterproof lighting in showers adds ambiance and visibility.
- Smart systems like Lutron Caseta or Philips Hue let you create lighting scenes controlled by an app or voice assistant.

A high-end bathroom renovation on Long Island involves a combination of planning, design, and skilled craftsmanship. Each step is essential to ensure the space is both beautiful and built to last:
