How to Turn your Bathroom into a Spa

If you want to turn your very own bathroom into a spa all you need is a bit of creativity and imagination. Unlike few years ago when the idea of such a project would cost an absolute fortune, it is now an affordable and viable option for any home owner. But first, you have to determine what you expect to gain from this spa. Because in a real spa, you can always have at your disposal various attendants who will wait on you, or will offer massage services, etc.

Even though in a bathroom spa you cannot enjoy the services of a specialized attendant, you can create the right ambiance with a little bit of imagination and attention to details. For instance, the colors, the look and the feel of the place are very important in a bathroom spa. Usually, in a typical bathroom you can find just have the tones of white and/or beige. A bathroom spa should use colors more interesting like purple, pink or even green. This is what makes the ambiance of your bathroom spa more "spa-like" than “bathroom-like” and which leads, for sure, to more time spent there.

Moreover, by adding texture and contrast to the walls and furnishings of your bathroom spa could lead again to more character and interest. Using patterned wallpapers, glazed tiled floors in earthy colors, or even adding plants and various paintings on the walls can create the desired atmosphere. Another consideration should be the available space. Definitely, if your bathroom is not that big you have to create the illusion of space through the use of mirrors. Shelves and cabinets built into the wall can also store your body care products like aromatic oils, lotions or soaps. The rationale behind this is to create an illusion of more space when there it isn't. Also, all open spaces in a bathroom spa should be kept clean in order to create the feeling of space.

Finally, you have to create that luxurious feeling generated by a spa, by using similar products. I'm talking about expensive aromatic oils, bath gels, bath salts, perfumed toilet water, soft towels, room fragrances, celadon oil burners, etc. Since your bathroom spa has to shout out "opulence and luxuriousness", don’t hesitate to spend some money on these items which will create, finally, the perfect ambiance.
