Some Top Ideas for a More Spa-Like Bathroom
If you've never gone to a spa before, you should definitely do so; it's one of the best ways to find your centre, to relax and revive, and to take a break from the hectic life around you. It's rejuvenating, and it gets us back on track, ready for the next week. It's actually a pity that we can't indulge in this wonderful pastime more often.
Or can we? Here's the good news: there are ways in which you can transform your ordinary bathroom so that you can have that'spa-like experience right in your own home. All the health benefits and the increased quality of life are right within your reach. Here are some top ideas for a more spa-like bathroom.
Install the right bath or shower
A lot can be said about that perfect tub or shower for you and your family - your choice will depend on your budget, your available space, and your sense of style. However, it's incredibly important that you find the right one, as it makes an enormous difference. If at all possible, install a whirlpool bath or a steam shower to take that experience of comfort and luxury (and the enormous health benefits) to a whole new level. What's more, steam showers and whirlpool baths are a lot more affordable nowadays.
Create space or enclose yourself
If you are a person who enjoys wide open spaces, then try to design the space so it is as wide and high as possible. Use light colours and utilise mirrors to make the place seem larger than it actually is. If, on the other hand, you'relax better when you have the feeling of privacy, then arrange for curtains, large plants, or other ornaments to enclose you.
Work with all your senses
It's not only about the feeling of warm water around your body. It's also about the soothing smells (via aromatherapy), the relaxing music, the dimming of lights, and the taste of a nice snack or a glass of wine. Work with all your senses.
Look for softness
Have a soft rug or mat on the floor. Have fluffy towels and lean back on a soft pillow. Softness immediately invit's relaxation.
Surround yourself with beauty
Beautiful flowers, artistic statues or accessories invite beauty into your bathroom.
Here's one other trick that can do wonders arrange for a surprise in your bathroom. Of course, if you provide it yourself, it's hardly a surprise; but add something in the bathroom you wouldn't ordinarily expect to find. It could be a nice painting, a large mirror, a beautiful bouquet of flowers or a nice work of art. It could easily bring back memories or allow your fantasy to transport you away for a little while. It's a time for enjoyment, after all in your own spa, at home.
