How to Create a Relaxing Mood in Your Home Spa
To create a home spa you must begin with a plan, a budget, and some research about what is available. Make a list of what you want to set as goals for your home spa and then begin to search for the items that will help you'reach your goals with style and functionality. Creating the right mood can help you to relax and unwind at the end of the day ? which is essentially refreshing and a health-booster also.
The Focal Point
The focal point of your home spa will probably be the bath. Consider a whirlpool bath, a freestanding bath, or perhaps a steam shower that can provide you with a plethora of benefits. Freestanding baths are elegant and come in many designs and with a variety of features which can complement or add to your d?cor. Whirlpool baths have jets that can massage your legs, feet, and back and will create the ultimate spa experience in your bathroom. Steam showers are an excellent way to help respiratory problems, deep clean your pores and remove toxins from your body. Whatever style of bath or shower you choose ? be sure to buy the right size so that it will meet all of your family?s needs. Measure available space carefully so that your new bath or shower will fit perfectly, and don't forget about how you're going to get it into the bathroom in the first place ? remember to measure all doorways and entryways it will pass through on its way to your bathroom to be installed.
Aromatherapy and Lighting to Set the Mood
Try using scented candles or aromatherapy oils to set the mood for your spa time at home. Arrange them around your whirlpool, your freestanding bathtub, or just outside your steam shower so that the aromas can permeate the immediate area. As you shop for lighting for your new home spa, try and select models incorporating a dimmer function which can be dimmed or brightened to illuminate the area that you need for doing your daily grooming. Dimmed lighting, soft music, and wonderful aromas can make your home spa experience extremely enjoyable.
Purchase New Linens and Soaps
New linens draped over the side of your freestanding bath or near your whirlpool can add a touch of elegance to your bathroom. Use splashes of colour that you like to add interest to your interior design. If you have a small surface near your bath, try placing some scented soaps that can help you to relax. Try to organise your accessories so that you avoid a cluttered look.
It's also important that you clean your whirlpool, bathtub, or shower according to the manufacturer?s instructions. The whirlpool will require special attention so that it can continue to operate to standards; this involves cleaning the jets from time to time using baking soda and warm water to circulate through the tub.
