As winter lingers on, self-care during your downtime should be a priority. While a weekend at a luxe spa sanctuary sounds like the perfect indulgence, it may not fit within your budget. However, there are ways to transform your bathroom into a spa-like oasis primed for relaxation and rejuvenation. Encompassing elements include décor, ambiance and functionality, the details do the heavy lifting and it’s easier than you think.
Declutter Your Bathroom Space
Create a sense of space – clutter is never conducive to relaxation. Start to streamline your bathroom by getting rid of old or expired products and find hidden storage space for the remaining items you don’t use every day. Prioritize counter space and use open storage for your everyday essentials.
Upgrade Your Shower or Tub
Replacing your showerhead with a more luxurious model is an easy swap that can enhance your everyday. Look for features that suit your needs and preferences, such as massaging spray patterns, a handheld component, or a rain showerhead that sprays water from directly above. If you have room in your budget, a freestanding bathtub is the ultimate indulgence. Similarly, upgrade to add high-quality, aesthetically pleasing fixtures like the Trinsic Contemporary Floor Mount Tub Filler.
Hardware In Golden Hues
The warmth of brushed gold elevates any space. If you’re building from the beginning, select a classic vanity with a stone top and choose brushed gold hardware. The Thompson 60" Double Bathroom Vanity maximizes your bathroom space and features a Carrara white engineered stone top on a solid frame.
Use Color To Create Calm
Opt for a light, neutral palette and introduce a soft, pale color to accent. Nothing says spa more than a pale sage green and greige earth tones. If opting for wallcoverings, choose a pattern that is calming like Seabrook Designs Skye Wave Stringcloth Early Clouds. Consider incorporating natural elements like bamboo or stone to enhance a connection to nature.
Invest In Plush Towels
Perfectly soft, plush towels are a requisite for every spa. The same goes for your own bathroom retreat. Look for absorbent, premium 100% cotton. The Cesme Bath Towel 2 Piece Set is made of 100% Turkish combed cotton that gets softer and fluffier with each wash. Choose a soothing neutral or pastel color that supports serenity. Place a neatly rolled set of additional bath towels in an open storage solution.
Brighten With Mirrors
Instill a sense of airy lightness and brightness with multiple large-scale mirrors. Choose mirrors with elements that work with the vanity. In a nod to classic Chinoiserie style, the Malay Vanity Mirror’s petite frame with a bamboo design is finished in an elegant antique gold leaf.
Hooks For Hanging
Ensure there are easily accessible hooks for hanging your bathrobe. The Kinsale Transitional Double Prong Wall Hook with a velvety, auburn champagne bronze finish resonates with warmth and imparts an element of sophistication.
Soften Floors With Rugs
Plush rugs over the bathroom floor create luxurious softness underfoot and help avoid exposure to cold tiles. The Linden Bath Mat is constructed in 100% multi-twist combed Turkish cotton and combines lavish comfort with lasting durability.
Install Dimmable Lighting
Create a relaxing ambiance with adjustable lighting. Install dimmer switches or use soft, warm-toned bulbs to mimic the gentle glow of candles. Strategic lighting placement around mirrors and tubs can also enhance the overall feel and make the space more inviting.
Introduce Aromatherapy
Incorporate scents that promote relaxation. Use an essential oil diffuser or scented candles with calming fragrances like lavender, eucalyptus, or chamomile to create a spa-like atmosphere and ease stress.
