To most, the bathroom is considered to be one of the most important rooms in the house. You begin your day there and end it there. It provides a place of solitude; some peace and quiet and an escape from the outside world. When you spend time in your bathroom, you switch off and allow yourself to fully relax.

In fact, the bathroom can dramatically increase (or decrease) the value of your home. It sets the tone for the rest of the house and should never be overlooked. You will rarely see a higher return on investment than you do with a beautifully renovated bathroom. So, we have compiled a list of our top 10 most beautiful bathrooms from around the world.
