Ideas to Turn Bathroom into Spa

Here are a few simple, yet effective ideas that can turn your bathroom into a spa:

Greenery

Placing plants in your bathroom is the simplest way to transform the space into a spa. You can place the plants on the floor, on countertops or hanging from the ceiling. Some also like to keep fresh eucalyptus as it offers a soothing smell to relax just like you can do in a spa. You may question what type of plant to add into your bathroom… check out this article for help selecting the right option!

Natural Components

Spa feels more authentic when it includes natural elements like natural stone, marble, and different types of wooden compartments. The vintage look will take you to a place far from the urban pressures.

Dim Lights

Low-lit lights or sconce lights are usually used in bathroom spas and you can install them in your bathroom to bring in the vibe. Usually, too many lights lead to unrelaxed nerves, that’s why dim lights are used to avoid the light pollution effects. 

Big Steam Shower

Steam showers are great to relieve stress and feel more refreshing. Specifically, if the shower head is oversized, it offers strong water pressure close to your body that helps in detoxing therapeutically just like a spa.

Floor Heating

Why Consider Heated Floors in Your Bathroom RemodelSince most of us use tiles for our bathroom floors, it feels so chilly, specifically in cold winters. At that moment stepping onto the floor will feel like stepping on sharp pins. Even bathmats won’t help much in those harsh colds.

You can install radiant floor heating for your bathroom, it will be both comfortable and luxurious. The bathroom will feel more like a spa this way, and nothing beats hot spa days in winter.

Elegant Backdrop

If you have a sophisticated mural on one side of the tub, it will feel like a luxurious museum with a relaxing atmosphere to soak in. You can put simple minimalistic art to an elegant backdrop that goes well with the overall theme of the bathroom.

Plush Towels

Invest in good towels! Plush towels have a luxurious comfy feeling. You may even consider a towel warmer for an extra spa look and feel!

Paint Cabinets

One of the ways to make the bathroom more spa-like is to paint the cabinets to a moody sophisticated color. Do you enjoy crisp white, mindful grays, light greens, or tans? There are ways to incorporate colors into cabinetry in a tasteful way. 

Open Shelves

Adding open shelving in your bathroom remodel can be a good addition to turning the bathroom into a spa. The open shelving will encourage you to keep the clean and crisp feel. 

Hidden Electric Outlets

All the cords of your electric bathroom tools will make the space chaotic and unsafe. You can install the outlets inside the vanity drawer and cabinet to keep the tools and their cords inside. This way the cabinet will be decluttered and the washroom will feel more like a shooting spa.

Earthy Tone

The spa makes you more connected with nature, and that’s why it’s best to incorporate earthy colors when remodeling the bathroom.

Elegant Curtains

Adding elegant-looking curtains on your bathroom window can limit the sunlight, ensure privacy and also add a polished touch to the space.
