Your bathroom is not just an ordinary space where you take a bath; it is also a place where you can let your mind and body have a little break to relax. When you decide to make your bathroom look like a spa, consider designing an area that frees you from stress after a tiring day, whether by taking a shower or a hot bath.
It is not always necessary to completely overhaul your bathroom to enhance its overall comfort. Sometimes, only a few alterations can make a significant impact that you will enjoy.
So, let’s see how to create a relaxing and opulent bathroom using proper lighting, quality materials, sober colors, and modern accessories.
The simplest way to transform your bathroom into a spa is by selecting the right colors. Spas do not use bright colors; instead, they use low-intensity colors to give the place a soothing environment. Light colors like white or pastels can make the space look more spacious. Minimize the use of bright or even very bold colors. You can opt for warm natural colors that give the feeling of the countryside.
A proper lighting system also has the potential to transform your bathroom into a spa-like environment. Appropriate lighting can give the room a warm, comfortable look, while poor lighting or too much lighting will diminish the desired feel.
Natural light is another important factor that must be considered. If your washroom has windows, open them and let natural light fill the room. If you worry about privacy, frosted glass or sheer curtains can do the trick without obstructing sunlight. If there are no windows, install a skylight to bring in the natural daylight.
People believe that the bath is the epitome of luxurious comfort in a spa. Freestanding bathtubs give a good look and also make for a good functional center to the space. Whether you are going to install a modern bathtub or a classic clawfoot bathtub, this can be the best place to unwind and relax.
If you use a shower, consider switching to a rain shower. A rain shower recreates the aspect of a waterfall, giving the bather a complete body wash. You can add more than one shower head or even install a steam shower to enhance the bathing experience.
The use of natural materials in the bathroom can make it look like a spa. Natural stones and wooden furniture can help achieve this effect. Marbles, granites, slates, and other types of natural stones can be placed on countertops, side racks, or shower walls.
Wooden accessories, such as teak stools or bamboo shelves, are a good way of adding a touch of luxury to interiors. Another great suggestion is to take the concept of ‘bringing the outside world inside’ and put low-maintenance, moisture-loving plants like ferns, orchids, or even peace lilies on the shelves.
Selecting the best quality and modern fixtures can give the bathroom the desired elegance. Replacing outdated items with pleasant and more elegant ones like fluid controls, showering equipment, and towel rods can completely transform the washroom.
You can also replace minor elements such as your cabinet knobs, switches, and drawer handles to ensure your bathroom looks more luxurious and seamlessly integrated. Fixtures alone can change the whole atmosphere of the bathing space; even the slightest alteration in them can make a huge difference.
The spa provides important benefits through warmth, radiant floor heating, or heated flooring, which can make getting out of a warm bed in the morning and stepping onto the bathroom floor a pleasure. Tile floors are not comfortable when you walk on them barefoot, but heated floors will help regulate the temperature of your washroom.
Towel warmers are another innovation that can recreate the atmosphere typical of a spa facility at home. They also ensure you always have a soft and fluffy towel when you leave the bathroom. Depending on your requirements, the two common towel warmers are wall-mounted and floor-standing.
Spas are all about simplicity and calmness; thus, keeping your bathroom clean and free from unnecessary items is crucial. Avoid cluttering the space with lots of things, and keep the design as simple as possible.
Keep all toiletries and personal belongings inside closed cabinets to keep them out of sight. Other essential things should be properly organized on floating shelves, built-in cabinets, or under-sink organizers. If you want a calming and spacious look for your bathroom, the number of items displayed on your walls should be as minimal as possible.
Select a few nice bath accessories, such as good-quality towels, candles, or other items, to keep it clean, simple, and classy. Simplicity is the best strategy for creating a cozy atmosphere.
Creating a spa-like atmosphere in your bathroom means creating a functional area that offers maximum relaxation and comfort. Whether changing your showering space, installing a freestanding bathtub, or using a bath heater, these renovation tips will help you create a luxurious washroom.
