How to Create Spa-Like Bathrooms

Make your bathroom an inviting oasis that promotes self-care with wooden accents, soothing colors, plush towels and spa-inspired scents to create a peaceful retreat.

Add greenery such as ferns and peace lilies for an organic touch in the bathroom, such as low maintenance plants that thrive in humidity environments like these.

Natural Light

Windows create a bright and airy atmosphere in any bathroom space, acting as an indirect light source and making the room seem larger. Opting for frameless designs will increase their openness.

Spa-inspired bathrooms often incorporate neutral colors like blues and whites that symbolize cleanliness and tranquility into their decor, such as natural materials such as stone or wood. Bring these hues into your own home decor using these hues!

Add an instant splash of luxury with a waterfall showerhead, instantly elevating your bathing experience and looking stunning in modern bathrooms.

Introduce fresh flowers into your bathroom for an inviting splash of color that’s both calming and elegant, such as orchids or peace lilies that thrive in indirect sunlight. Symmetry can also help bring peace and serenity; try using materials with similar patterns across walls, countertops and accessories like bookmatched marble that is both elegant and soothing – the symmetry will help put us all in a more relaxing mindset!

Greenery

Plants add a spa-like ambiance to any bathroom, whether a powder room or master. Hang fresh eucalyptus which thrives with moderate sun exposure or add elegance with orchids that symbolize luxury and elegance; or add peace lily which thrives under low lighting as an easy addition.

Avoid adding too many vibrant hues, which could have an adverse impact on relaxation and soothing. Instead, go for soothing hues inspired by nature like shades of blue and green that bring nature indoors.

Add a clear acrylic tray to your tub for easy access to essentials like books and loofahs, or fill an open glass container with flower clippings to perfume your space with fragrance – both are affordable ways of instantly elevating the feel of luxury in any bathroom space.

Spa Scents

As soon as you walk into a spa, one of the first things you notice is its amazing aroma – an integral component in creating the relaxing ambience associated with spas.

Essential oils provide an elegant spa-like aroma for any room in your home, offering therapeutic properties such as stress-relief and relaxation. Diffusing or burning essential oils in a diffuser or oil burner is the easiest way to create that luxurious spa smell in any environment.

Essential oils such as lavender, chamomile and sandalwood are widely used in spa settings due to their soothing and relaxing effects. An easy and inexpensive way to achieve spa-inspired fragrance in your own bathroom is soaking a cotton Q-tip with essential oil of choice before placing it at the center of the toilet tissue roll.

Luxurious Linens

One of the easiest and quickest ways to upgrade your bathroom is through upgrading its linens. Choose luxurious towels made of long-staple Turkish cotton, Egyptian cotton or quick-absorbing microfiber; towel racks featuring more elegant designs than simple metal bars will also elevate the space significantly.

Symmetry can be soothing to our minds and eyes, so look for decorative items with an aesthetically pleasing symmetry. Bookmatched marble installations (installing two pieces of the same marble side-by-side so they appear mirror imaged) offer an elegant solution that adds instant sophistication to any bathroom space.

Create an inviting spa-like environment by selecting soothing hues. Instead of choosing vibrant red tones which may stimulate our minds and bodies and make relaxation difficult, opt for subtler blue and green tones which feel cooler and calmer.

Cleanliness

One of the key components to consider when creating a spa-like bathroom is cleanliness. Towels, robes and the floor must all remain tidy to create an unwinding atmosphere that creates relaxation.

Natural wood works beautifully as part of any spa bathroom design scheme. Combine natural stone, wooden vanity units and accessories like ladder towel racks and mini stools with this natural material for a soothing ambience. Walnut adds an exquisite look that brings luxuriousness into the design scheme.

Artwork can instantly elevate any bathroom and give it an extravagant vibe. Add a piece that suits your aesthetic for an instant style boost.
