Who said you need to leave the house to have a spa experience? Why not create it within your own home! By incorporating design elements straight from the spa, you can make this small space in your house your very own personal retreat.
Take a look at a few ways you can transform your bathroom into the ultimate home spa experience.
1. Declutter and Add Storage Space
If your bathroom is covered in hair and makeup products it is never going to give the relaxing appeal of a spa. The first step is to declutter by removing old, unused, or expired products. The second is to find a home for the products you do want to keep. For many, finding the right storage solutions (especially with smaller bathrooms and in older homes) can be particularly tricky. Fortunately, Houston Services offers a wide range of storage solutions, such as professionally designed linen closets, leaving your bathroom clean and airy just like the spa.
2. Consider a Color Change
Color plays a big role in a space. It can affect our mood and how we view a room. Consider colors inspired by nature such as brown, blue, and green to give both a calming effect and an organic feel. For smaller bathrooms, think lighter, more neutral colors like white or beige that give a spacious and soothing feel.
3. Upgrade the Tub
Free-standing or soaking bathtubs offer a way to create that feeling of relaxation any time you want. If your bathroom is big enough, adding in one free standing tub makes for the best additions around. If you’re undergoing a renovation on a smaller bathroom, you can still install a jacuzzi tub with relaxing jets. These days there are a wide selection of scaled-down alcove tubs that aren’t longer than 5 feet but still deep enough to soak in.
4. Dim the Lights
Speaking of a cozy bath, what better way to set the mood than with dim, soft lighting. Consider installing recessed lighting or wall sconces that can be put on dimmer controls for the ultimate stress relieving room. At Houston Services, we can do everything required in a bathroom remodel, including tile work, electrical and plumbing, so you don’t have to worry about hiring additional contractors.
5. Add a Touch of Nature
Adding natural elements to a bathroom design can really add life to a room. From indoor plants to bamboo bathmats, and sea grass baskets, adding a hint of nature will really bring the room together. You can even consider natural elements when selecting tile, hardware, and finishes to give your room a touch of luxury just like the spa.
6. Revamp Your Shower
A simple switch, such as installing a luxury showerhead, can be an effective yet economical way to amp up your shower experience. Perhaps adding a rainfall showerhead is all you need to get that spa-like experience. However, if you’re undergoing a full bathroom remodel, you may want to consider new designs for your shower. One popular design that has become increasingly common is a doorless shower. Showers without doors can make the bathroom look more spacious, gives a very contemporary feel, and even removes the need to clean those pesky glass doors!
7. Update Towels and Rugs
If you want to turn your bathroom into an oasis, start by upgrading the towels and bath rugs. Invest in fluffy rug for when your feet get too tired from walking around all day and luxurious towel wraps to dry off with after a long shower or bath. We even suggest getting them in white just like the spas do. You can take it one step further if you upgrade to a heated towel warmer!
8. Add Calming Scents
Aromatherapy adds the final touch to your home spa experience by evoking emotion through scent, boosting relaxation levels and relieving tension during stressful times – all without ever leaving your bathroom. Essential oils, scented soaps, candles, and lotions are just a few ways you can work on creating a relaxing atmosphere at any time.
