A substandard bathroom isn't on anyone's wishlist. They might not be the most glamorous spaces, and it won't be part of the house tour when guests first visit, but it's nevertheless a room of the home that they'll inevitably use. A bathroom that looks cheap and cut-rate just won't make the right impression.
There's no reason why we shouldn't take pride in our modern bathroom ideas, and an expensive-looking bathroom says that you care. You don't need gold-plated toilet seats or luxury stone to make a statement, though. The main priority should be avoiding things that cheapen the look and feel of your bathroom, be it peeling paint, broken appliances, or dated design details.
