I don't think it has sunk in into the South Asian psyche, how important Bathrooms need to be.
To most South Asians it is a place you don't sink a lot of money into. And it is perpetually wet and moldy/smelly.
To Westerners it is a sanctuary. And therefore, special.
Toilets and baths need to be modern, dry (outside the shower stall), efficient, sleek/uncluttered in design & aesthetics and no cost should be spared in achieving these goals, especially for the fittings (not that you would need a lot of money). After all - you won't be splurging every year on a new toilet, it is a thirty to forty year exercise. You will be looking at it everyday for that time period, better to design it well so you can live with it.
For me, this means a one-piece very quiet flush toilet (possibly nicer Japanese brands like Toto), a full-body massage showerhead, Zero-fog glass showerstall and a full complement of old fashioned shaving implements.
The Japanese have taken the toilet concept to new heights. Rather than go into details, they are computerized, temperature/sensor controlled. One has to experience it to believe it.
