1. Dornbracht ATT Shower System Cost: Call for pricing Why we picked it: There’s simply nothing else like it. Relax in the very comfortable dedicated reclining space as 6 water bars refresh and cleanse. An eTool controls the trio of pre-programmed choreographies. The “De-Stressing” option bathes the body and soul, and the “Balancing” setting uses the spiritual power of water to bring harmony, while the “Engergizing” mode recharges. Where to get it: Ferguson, 4119 Ponce De Leon Blvd., Coral Gables; 305.507.6221; Ferguson.com.

2. AH Signature Mirror Cost: $2,050 Why we picked it: This large 39.5-in. wide by 39.5-in. high mirror is an opportunity to bring the Latin influence seen in other Adriana Hoyos Collection pieces into a sophisticated bath. Crafted of metallic finish faux crocodile leather and framed with a distinctive bronze edge, the timeless design complements any décor.

4. Sliding Doors by California Closets Cost: Contact for pricing Why we picked it: Understated yet glamorous, these sliding doors are not only an opportunity to maximize space between a bedroom/bathroom transition by replacing traditional cumbersome swinging doors, but they also add elan to both rooms.

6. Avant Design Spa Master Bath Cost: Contact for pricing Why we picked it: The light, airy welcoming appeal is the best feature of this piece.
