Life can get stressful at times, and when you have had a rough day or week, you will be yearning for an opportunity to kick back and relax. While a visit to the spa is the perfect way to unwind and feel pampered, the reality is that not everyone can afford to treat themselves like this very often. Even if there are great deals to be found online, waiting until you get the chance to go doesn’t do much to help you relax in the meantime. So, why wait until you can afford a spa day or weekend? You can always help add a touch of luxury to your bathroom so you can enjoy a calming bath after a rough day instead. Here are some tips on how you can turn your bathroom into a spa-like space that you can use whenever you like.
Choose Soothing Colors
Vibrant colors can be lovely to look at, but they can also be overstimulating if you’re trying to unwind. A lot of people choose to have blues, whites, and grey tones in their bathroom which always works well, but you can be more experimental. Soft greens, pinks, lavender, taupe, or even a darker charcoal tone can help you feel more relaxed while still offering a different look to the usual bathroom color schemes.
Full Remodel
If you have the budget, you might want to think about getting a full remodel of your bathroom. You can replace your old bathroom suite with a new one to add a luxurious feel with more interesting designs. Vintage-style bathtubs are deeper than average, so you can fully immerse yourself in the water and relax the next time you have a bath. Prefer something more modern? Why not install a walk-in shower? You could even use a smart shower to help you manage your water usage more effectively. Changing the wall tiles and flooring can also have a dramatic effect. Look at some different examples of remodels at granitetransformations.co.uk for a little inspiration.
Add Some Plant Life
Studies have suggested that being around nature can have a calming effect on people, and although stepping into your bathroom might not be the same as strolling through woodland, adding some plant life can still have you feel more relaxed. It’ll also greatly improve the aesthetics of the room and make it feel more serene and stylish. Some great plants to have in the bathroom include bamboo, Chinese evergreen, ferns, and orchids.
Candles
You can’t have a relaxing bath without some soft candlelit to create the right atmosphere. So if you want to feel like you are in a spa, invest in some quality candles that you can light whenever you want to have a soothing soak in the tub. You could even purchase larger candles and put them in hurricane candle holders, as this will look incredible and certainly feel luxurious. You might want to think about getting scented candles, as they can help to keep your bathroom smelling great whether you’re in the tub or not.
If you would like to bring a little bit of the spa into your home, consider the tips above and how they can make your bathroom a little more glamorous.
