DESIGN IDEAS ; SPA-INSPIRED BATHROOMS

Inspirations are always the driving force to any great design. It springs life to any space. It gives someone an idea and inspires them to create. It provides a personality that users of that space acclimate and live into.

Spas transport you to another environment without having to go very far. A relaxing space away from the hassle and bustle of life, where you can tune out and have a few minutes or hours of peace. But what if you could have that kind of space in your own home? With a few key design elements, you can transform your bathroom into your very own relaxing spa. Here are the inspirations:

1. Remove The Clutter

Have you ever seen a messy spa? There’s a reason why you find them so relaxing: the lack of clutter does wonders to your brain which facilitates peace of mind. Remove the clutter from your bathroom and create an environment that looks and feels clean.

2. Add Personality

Echo the design of your favorite spas by using color in an interesting way. Choose earth colored tones to create a more relaxing and calming effect and are a lot easier to maintain than sterile, white tiles. Take a cue from the ocean and use sandy tones paired with aqua hues. Or take in the simple Zen lines and create interesting forms that renew the senses.

3. Quality Over Quantity

Invest in a good quality towels, bathmats and robes. It’ll make a difference right after you step out the shower and into a nice, fluffy towel.  

4. Small Upgrades

There is no need to change the entire of your bathroom. Instead, invest in a few small upgrades:  a better showerhead, ambient lighting, and a nicer, larger mirror.

5. Sensuous Details

Consider having scented candles, a bouquet of flowers, wooden stands or containers, and some lotions and perfumes. It’s the little things that makes the difference and can make the space more inviting.

6. Remove Labels

A bunch of half-empty shampoo and body wash bottles just adds to the visual clutter. Replace them with uniform containers, they fit well to space organizers and nicer to look at.
