With our busy lives and hectic days, we hardly have all the time to book a spa appointment as often as we’d like.
But we do deserve a relaxing bath after a hard day.
Don’t let out a sigh yet!
It’s easy to pamper yourself with a home spa.
Here are some quick tips that can help you transform your groggy-looking bathroom into a home spa.
1. Bring back the glory
With time, most of the fixtures in your bathroom may have lost their luster. Even your bathtub may look dull and stained.
To bring the sparkle of a spa into your own bathroom, you’ll have to do some cleaning and scrubbing.
Use some basic cleaning ingredients like salt, baking soda and vinegar to bring back the shine of your bathroom ceramics and fixtures.
If you’re not sure how to clean a shower head, don’t hesitate to call in professional plumbing and cleaning services.
2. Get rid of clutter
If you’ve been using the same worn-out dispensers, and hoarding lots of unnecessary bath products, it’s about time you declutter.
Throw out anything that doesn’t seem useful and make some space.
As soon as you let go of the junk, the ambience of your bathroom will feel lighter and calm.
You can make the space look more organized by getting a bathtub caddy, or shower shelf for the bath products.
3. Introduce some greenery
If your bathroom has good ventilation and receives sufficient natural light, you can bring in some houseplants into your bathroom.
You may choose to have elaborate planters and plant hangers, or small pots depending on the area and light in your bathroom.
In our opinion even a humble jade or Pothos plant in a glass vase would do the trick.
4. Add the Midas touch
You don’t have to seek full-blown luxury spa elements for your bathroom, to get the perfect spa feel.
Just add a few gold details to the existing elements. You can replace the handles and fixtures with golden ones.
Or simply add a couple of metallic wall arts.
5. Bring in the “Zen“
You can also upgrade the bathroom decor to a proper Zen theme.
All you need are a few distinctly Zen articles like a small Buddha statue or painting, a lotus-shaped article, or simply some stones and pebbles.
If you’re the creative artsy kind of person, go ahead and try these DIY craft ideas.
6. Upgrade the lights
Lights have a profound impact on the ambience.
If you have bright and fluorescent lights in the bathroom, you’ll probably find there’s hardly the calmness you expect from a spa.
We suggest that you opt for warm white and subtle lights for a relaxing environment.
7. Let in some aroma
Aroma therapy is essential to any spa experience.
Get a handful of essential oils and scented salts for the bath.
Lavender, Rose, yin-yang, there are so many invigorating scents you can choose from.
You can also have incense burners and aroma dispensers to have the beautiful aromas constantly flowing through your bathroom.
8. Candles and fresh flowers
For a perfect soulful home-spa experience, don’t forget to get a collection of scented candles for your bathroom.
Paired with fresh flowers or petals, candles will set the perfect mood for relaxation and calm.
9. Keep things warm and cozy
Of course, you’re expecting a warm bath in your home-spa. Make sure you have a supply of hot water for the bathtub.
Also run the hot water in your bath with the bathroom door shut.
The steam from the hot water will create a sauna effort that you’ll find very welcoming.
10. Invest in new towels and bathroom rug
It goes without saying that you’ll need some fresh new towels to add the finishing touch to your bathroom spa.
A nice fluffy rug and a large comforting towel will make you feel well pampered after your warm bath.
When buying new towels and rug, choose pastel or earthy shades that will blend well with the rest of the elements you have created.
