Create a bathroom that feels like a spa
Category Useful Information
When you go to the spa, you end up leaving feeling relaxed, pampered, and rejuvenated. Who wouldn't want to experience those feelings every day? Well, the short answer is, you can! The relaxing experience is centred on a serene environment that's carefully designed to help you unwind and escape, and you can easily re-create that soothing atmosphere in your own bathroom.
Bring the outdoors into your bathroom
Bringing in plants is one of the easiest tricks for making your bathroom feel like a spa. It has been proven that spending time in nature acts as a natural antidepressant and actually assists with anxiety and depression. By placing potted houseplants on the floor, countertop, and other bathroom surfaces, you will not only have your bathroom looking amazingly beautiful, but it will trigger the relaxation you're after. Be sure to choose plants that will thrive in a humid bathroom environment and in the light the space receives. If living plants aren't suitable for your space or skills, you could always set a vase filled with fresh flowers on a shelf or decorate it with faux plants or flowers.
Use a calming colour scheme
Choosing the right colours for your bathroom is vital to creating a spa-like feel. You'll want to pick soft, neutral colours such as white, sand, light blue, light grey or taupe in order to provide a peaceful palette that would look right at home in a fancy spa. Avoid using high-contrast pairings such as black and white or blue and orange, as they are bold and energising rather than calming.
Replace your basic bath towels
Luxuriously fluffy towels are a key factor in creating a spa-like bathroom. You will want to choose bath towels made from an absorbent material, such as cotton or bamboo, that over time will stand up well to washing and will feel like a cloud hugging you as you dry off. Who wouldn't want to feel as though they're wrapped in a puffy cloud?
Incorporate candles as an accent
Candles are a perfect tool for creating a luxurious bathroom. They are aesthetically pleasing to the eye, give off a delicious scent and can really set the tone with the dim glow. So don't overlook the power of lighting a candle in your home spa as they really do create a relaxing ambience. Candles will immediately enhance the mood allowing you to destress after a long day.
Bring in luxury spa-like accessories
Bringing in artwork, glamorous mirrors, beautiful skincare products and a bathtub caddy are sure to enhance your spa-like bathroom. A bathtub caddy adds instant luxury and also provides the perfect place for a glass of wine, a cup of green tea and even a book.
