Get all the benefits of having a tranquil retreat to destress and unwind right at home. Not sure how to create the experience? Don’t worry! We’re covering all the ways you can make your bathroom feel more like a spa sanctuary below.

Pick a Soothing Color Scheme

One of the most important decisions that affects how you feel with you walk into a room is the color palette. That’s why for any bathroom that you want to have spa vibes the color scheme should be calming and zen.

Think whites, creams, grays, and light earth tones. Soft blues, greens, and lavender also help create a relaxing atmosphere. Avoid any bright or intense colors like reds, oranges, or yellows. If you like more color you can incorporate them in softer tones or as small accents but be careful not to overdo it. Anything too bold will detract from the overall aesthetic and mood.

Incorporate Natural Elements Into the Space

Bringing nature into your bathroom is a great way to make it feel like a peaceful oasis. You can do this with beautiful natural stone and wood materials, along with plenty of natural light.

If you’d prefer not to use real wood because of the effects of moisture you can opt for a faux wood porcelain tile instead to achieve a similar look. Porcelain or ceramic tiles also come in a variety of natural stone patterns with a more affordable price tag.

Don’t forget to include greenery or flowers to make you feel more connected to nature while in the shower or tub.

To go a step further and increase the cozy factor add a fireplace like we did in our Modern Farmhouse project. It brings some warmth to the cooler color palette and adds an unexpected luxury element to the space.

Include Plenty of Storage to Stay Organized

Nothing makes a room feel less zen than clutter. That’s why it’s important for your bathroom to be clean and organized. In this space, less is definitely more.

Keep toiletries off your counters by having plenty of storage and organizational tools. Along with drawers and shelving, incorporate baskets as a stylish solution to hide extra towels or anything you want to tuck away.  

If you want to display a few products on your counter or shelves, make sure they’re in aesthetically pleasing bottles and containers. An easy hack is to transfer lotion and soap to stylish dispensers so they look cohesive. And to prevent things from piling up make sure to go through your bathroom regularly and get rid of the products you aren’t using. It’s easy for items to accumulate quickly.

Upgrade Your Fixtures

To give yourself a spa-like experience at home make sure you have high-quality fixtures throughout your bathroom. If some of your bathroom fixtures have seen better days then it may be time to upgrade.

Take a look at your shower, tub, sink(s), toilet, and faucets to make sure they reflect the look and feel you want. An easy way to help refresh your shower is to get a better showerhead. Or add a body sprayer to create a more luxurious experience.

If you have enough room and the budget, to really make your bathroom look and feel spa-worthy consider installing upscale extras like a bidet, sauna, or steam room.

Don’t Forget Luxury Accents 

Last but not least, remember it’s also the details that make a space feel refined and serene. 

Splurge on plush rugs, towels, and robes. Go a step further and get a towel warmer to ensure you have nice toasty towels ready as soon as you get out of the shower or tub.

Pamper yourself with high-quality toiletries and bath products. Try bath bombs or shower steamers to really get a spa-like experience.

Include calming fragrances with candles or a diffuser to up the relaxation factor. Lavender, Ylang-Ylang, and Rosemary are just a few scents that can help ease stress and anxiety.

If you have a tub, simply adding a bathtub caddy can transform your bathtime experience – allowing you to have all your bath essentials right at your fingertips.

Introduce some layered lighting from different sources so you can adjust the light level to create different moods. For even more light control add a dimmer switch.

Install speakers so you can listen to calming music and really unwind while you pamper yourself.
