Creating the Perfect Home Spa Bathroom

Today, in a tight economy, less people have the money to travel for pleasure. Certainly, even if they do find the time for a quick weekend get-away, there isn’t always enough money to make it a weekend at the spa. For this reason, it’s worthwhile to focus within rather than outside, and to learn how to create your own spa bathroom. With a home spa bathroom, you’ll have the warmth, comfort and beauty of the spa right in your very own home. Here we offer 7 essential tips to help you to relax in that spa bathroom this weekend.

1. Paint it: One great way to start to create the look of a spa bathroom is through color. Think about your favorite spa (or create an image in your mind of one if you’ve never actually ventured to a spa). You are probably conjuring up light purples, soothing blues, pale yellows and greens. Paint your bathroom one of these soothing colors to create the ambiance of the spa bathroom.


2. Wrap Yourself in Luxury: Certainly, at any spa, you’ll have luxuriously soft towels, robes, slippers and more. Purchase similar items for your own spa bathroom. Find a matching set of plush towels, purchase a lovely robe, and keep cozy slippers in the bathroom at all times. Hang lovely, decorative towel hooks on the back of the bathroom door or along one wall so that you’ll always have quick access to your comfort items. Similarly, you can purchase a bathroom storage cabinet, like you’d see at a spa, to store plush towels, slippers, robes and more.


3. Aromas Make the Difference: Next, create the spa bathroom ambiance with the products you buy. Enjoy vanilla bubble bath, lavender body wash, kiwi shampoo, mud masks, face creams, and more. Burn incense while you are in the bathroom, and leave these out to create a spa bathroom look.


4. Keep It Warm: Two great ways to create warmth in the spa bathroom are with towel warmers and under the floor heating. Certainly, a towel warmer is not as expensive as under the floor heating. It is a great gift for someone you love (including yourself!) and will give you the luxurious feel of the spa, right in your own bathroom. For those who are creating a large renovation, under the floor heating is a great addition to any bathroom. It will keep your feet warm as you enter or exit the bath and will create an appealing overall feel in the bathroom space.


5. Soothe Your Ears: Keep music in the bathroom and set it to soothing, New Age tunes. This will mimic the sounds you’d hear at the spa and will help you to relax in the tub after a long day at work.


6. Inviting Baskets: No spa bathroom is complete without a wicker basket on the counter. Place a lovely basket on the bathroom counter. Fill it with plush hand towels and some aromatic soaps. This will create the look of the spa and will keep everyone’s hygiene in focus.


7. Say It In Black and White: Finally, frame one or more black and white picture in a black frame. While simple and minimalistic, this creates a look of stark beauty as it adds to the spa bathroom décor.

Use these quick spa bathroom tips so that you can be relaxing in your own spa bathroom in just a few short days. Without even leaving your home, you’ll be able to curl up in the bubble bath with a great book and let your worries melt away. You deserve it!
