Stepping into a day spa is undoubtedly one of the most relaxing experiences. But booking and travelling to and from the experience takes some of the peacefulness out of it all. Thankfully, your once purely practical bathroom can now double as a serene spa-like sanctuary.
Transforming your bathroom from practical to zen doesn’t need to come with a hefty price tag. Of course, you can definitely do the calculations on a full bathroom renovation, but to create a spa-like atmosphere, all you need is a few handy tips and a clear vision.
With plenty of inspiration for said aesthetic vision on hand, all that’s left to do is to carry out those tips and get ready to enjoy the ultimate unwind in your serene space.
How to create a spa-like bathroom:
De-clutter the space
No matter how hard you try, you’re just never going to be able to feel relaxed in a cluttered space. So, gather all the products cluttering your vanity and pack them in neat, easy-to-use, acrylic bathroom storage containers, making sure to find a new home for them tucked away in a drawer or cupboard.
Add to the spa-like aesthetic by incorporating textured pieces in neutral colours, such as a wicker basket, perfect for any leftover storage needs. Most importantly, if your laundry hamper lives in the bathroom, you’ll want to continue the calming aesthetic theme by choosing a fitting hamper. Then, be sure to encourage your family to actually use the hamper so as not to dampen your zen experience.
Curate your countertop
Once all the clutter is packed away, you’re left with a blank canvas. To create a relaxing atmosphere, choose design elements that feature organic shapes as well as aesthetic textures and tones.
Pair your neutral bathroom accessories, such as a soap dispenser (filled with a delightfully scented wash, of course), with a textural vase filled with aromatic, dried eucalyptus for that touch of calming green.
If you’ve run out of bench space before you’ve finished curating the perfect counter, then adding a functional yet aesthetic bathroom trolley will create more space to play with, all while being an ideal spot to store those wicker baskets.
Create a spa-like atmosphere
Here’s where the true ‘spa-at-home’ vibe can shine through. Once the space has been curated to reflect your perfect spa day, you’ll finally be able to enjoy your hard work by relaxing. Put the worn bath towels in the laundry and lay out a fresh, new, lush bathmat as your finishing touches, before you don your comfy, cosy bathrobe.
Set the mood by lighting your candles and enhance the aromatic experience with a selection of essential oils. All that’s left to do now is to sink into that well-deserved bath and enjoy the unwind.
