In many houses the bathroom is constructed as an afterthought, a necessity, a room that is squeezed into whatever space remains between the bedrooms but if you are looking for luxury, whatever the space available, bathrooms need no longer be purely functional.

There are a vast range of luxury bathroom products and accessories available on the market these days. We've picked out some of the best.

For those who have always wanted to sink neck deep in water and let the bath flood over the top. The Sok Overflowing bath - http://www.bathroomluxury.co.uk/acatalog/info_133.ht ml This product just oozes luxury with bubbles likened to bathing and champagne and eight different colour lights to change moods you just can't go wrong!

Not enough space for a bath? Then how about this: A steam massage cabin that will even allow two people to shower at once, not to mention all the other handy gadgets inside it such as hydromassage systems, water jets , and an optional starry sky above! http://www.bathroomluxury.co.uk/acatalog/Orinoco_Cab in.html

Always thought electricity and bathrooms didn't mix? Well how about this for luxury - your very own wall mounted steam free TV! Known as "Aqua Vision these TV systems are totally waterproof and what is more they even come with a floating remote control! http://www.bathroomluxury.co.uk/acatalog/AquaVision. html

Fashions come and go in bathroom designs just as every other room in the house. These days minimalist sinks, those on countertops or those in natural materials are "in" but even so, some of the designs are striking! Take a look at these:

This Linkasink Large oval Mosaic sink will have your guests craving ancient Rome! The product is made to order and available in many different colours.

Or perhaps you are trying to make an artistic statement in your bathroom, in which case, why not go for something truly unique with an Oceana glass design sink it's like washing your hands in a hand sculpted vase!

Then again, perhaps it's the taps that need that original touch. Once more there is a huge variety of fittings available, from Victorian to modern, taking in art deco, and cubism in between.

Here is our pick of the latest:

The Aqua Glass waterfall mixer tap. http://www.taps4less.com/PP/T-TUK01.html A simple design, but a stunning one none the less.
