If you have the budget and the inclination to purchase, go on, get extravagant with your home décor plans with these super exclusive products that include a shower and bathtub.
A Piece of History
The Le Grand Queen Bathtub, described as the most expensive bathroom product, invites you to literally soak in history. Made entirely out of Caijou (precious stone), which is believed to be one of the most powerful healing stones in the world, it is crafted from the 180-million-year-old petrified wood. Designed by Simon Krapf, the bathtub is produced as a two –person deal with a length up to 205cms. This is the world’s first bathtub made out of fossilized wood and modelled along the lines of Indonesian ‘bangka’ canoe. The rarity of the wood, the difficulty in accessing it and shaping it into a bathtub, all go to make it a costly piece of home décor.

Bathtub Treat
This 22,000-pound tub is a masterpiece from Baldi Home Jewels in Italy. Described as a communion of nature and design, the bathtub is conceptualised by Luca Bojola, who fashioned it from a single block of rock crystal sourced from the Amazonian rainforest. The exterior of the tub retains the rough texture of the crystal, displaying its natural beauty.
Price: $1,075,000
Seat of Opulence
Not just any opulence…a Swarovski one at that! When bling is the name of the game and home is just another canvas to embellish, Swarovski crystals make it to the toilet seat too. This Swarovski-studded toilet is designed to make the user feel rich and show off his/her wealth – albeit, in the privacy of the bathroom. It is embellished with 72,000 pieces of Swarovski crystals and looks more like a show piece than an everyday item.
Price: $75,000
Silver Shower
Not a bathtub but SilverTag shower is all about style…and some more. Incorporated with 18 computer-controlled shower heads and programmable customised ‘hydro experiences’, this shower head is for the ones loaded with moolah. What makes it a coveted possession for those who have installed one, is its ability to quickly and accurately change the water temperature for different areas of the body. The standard shower is designed with six zones (overhead, shoulders, upper and lower torso and upper and lower legs), each having independent controls for temperature and pressure to get the most beneficial hydrotherapy effects; it comes with touch screen to choose the desired sequence.

Luxe Sofa
This sectional, caterpillar sofa from Parnian Furniture is just what you would need if you have a big family and equally large living room. The sofa moves like a snake and each section or element is attached to the adjacent pieces with a zipper and a pin hinge which allows it to form any number of shapes – concave, convex and even snake shape.

Pod to Meditate

Designed to help you meditate better, this capsule is just what you need if you have trouble keeping your mind free of all thoughts. Shaped like a futuristic spaceship or a bathtub, the pod promises to make meditation easy by providing a combination of LED colour therapy, guided meditation, binaural beats and energy healing.

Handle In Style
Comparatively speaking, a price of $15,400 might not seem as daunting as the other big fat tags mentioned here – but what if you were told that that is the price of a set of door handles? Yes, door handles priced at $15,400. Now, that is intimidating! Produced by ‘Matter’, the contemporary design store, ‘The Morfinas’ are a pair of polished bronze silicate handles inspired by Salvador Dali and Antoni Gaudi.
