Modern spa-like bathroom in Delaware

Creating a Spa Bathroom in Your Home

Is there anything more relaxing than a spa? Of course, going to a spa is a splurge that most of us cannot manage in our everyday lives, but what if you could bring that feeling home? By creating a spa bathroom in your house, you can give yourself an oasis for escaping the stress of everyday life.

What is a Spa Bathroom?

Designed to exude the ambiance of a high-end spa, a spa bathroom is a peaceful, luxurious, relaxing space within the home. In a spa bathroom, each element is carefully chosen to create an indulgent experience, with high quality fixtures and decadent features that create a feeling of being pampered. Even the color palette and accessories in a spa bathroom are meant to evoke a sense of serenity and self-care. This carefully thought out, well designed space turns a functional bathroom into a retreat and an oasis of tranquility.

Five Essentials for a Modern Spa Bath

What will you include in your spa bathroom design? Here are some ideas to inspire you.

  1. Spa bathroom showers tend to be extraordinary. There are many different ways to elevate the shower experience, and spa bathrooms often incorporate more than one. Increasingly, people are choosing to install wet rooms in their spa bathrooms, made entirely of materials the are constructed to get wet, and featuring a hidden drain, to keep a sleek look. You can also make your shower a haven by installing double showerheads or creating a steam shower, to relax you at the end of a long day. Technology also affords us the option of illuminating the shower with changing lights or installing a sound system in the shower.
  2. A freestanding soaker tub is a must. A freestanding tub raises the elegance factor in any bathroom. Aesthetically pleasing and extremely relaxing, soaker tubs are available in a wide array of shapes and sizes, so that you can easily find one to fit your space and enhance the look of your bathroom.
  3. Spa bathrooms offer warmth in luxuriant and unexpected ways. Radiant heated floors are becoming increasingly popular, and they make your bathroom warm and cozy, while giving it a spa-like feel. Especially for those in colder climates, heated floors can help make the winter more pleasant. You can also install towel warmers, to ensure that you have a warm towel every time you reach for one. Do you want to take the heated luxury one step further? Why not install a heated toilet seat. These are not only comfortable but also provide health benefits, relaxing muscles and improving blood flow.
  4. Soothing lighting sets the tone for total relaxation. Soft lighting with dimmable fixtures makes a spa bathroom more peaceful and serene. Incorporate task lighting that is controlled separately, for when you need to clearly see yourself.
  5. The right décor puts the finishing touches on a spa bathroom. Choose only items that add to your comfort and the spa-like atmosphere. A bamboo bath tray, a cozy bench or chair, and elegant bottles of toiletries can make a bathroom feel posher and more calming. Put your own creative touch into the bathroom with a few well-placed pieces of art, candles, or objects that make you happy.

Further Spa Decoration Ideas for Your Bathroom

Embrace the relaxing ambiance by using décor in natural materials like wood, bamboo, and stone, and consider bringing in a plant or two. Choose only the softest, plush textiles like towels and bathmats, and decorate your spa bathroom in a soothing color palette. Utilize aromatherapy to make your bathroom a truly relaxing place. Keep your spa bathroom vanity uncluttered, displaying only beautiful items and using hidden storage to tuck necessities out of sight.
