Do you crave for the spa-like bliss in your bathroom? Well, rest assured that it doesn’t take a fortune to create a stunning indoor sanctuary and immerse in relaxation at its purest. The goal is well within reach, provided that you plan ahead of time and employ smart solutions. A well-designed, aesthetically beautiful bathroom can easily become your favorite place in the house. So, make no mistake: This is your chance to pamper yourself and make the stress go away.
1.      Use of colors
Â
First off, mind your choice of colors. Bright tones are not the most tranquil spectacle. On the other hand, pastel, earthy, mellow, and neutral colors ooze that laid-back vibe you are craving for.Â
2.      Make a statement
Select one statement wall, preferably by the tub, and add color and texture. Don’t hesitate to create contrast and if you want to go an extra mile, invest in a centerpiece such as a fireplace embedded into a wall.
Â
3.  Clean layout
To set the stage, do away with clutter. If you play it smart, you can fit both a shower and a tub. Keep the furniture minimal and adhere to open plan design to achieve that effortless contemporary look.
Â
4.  Freestanding tub
Freestanding tubs are such a blast. They are built for relaxing and soaking in luxury. Also, they are great focal points and come in all shapes, sizes, and materials.
5.      Plants and flowers
Â
Inject a splash of greenery with plants and flowers in vases or pots. They radiate tranquility and also purify the air inside, which makes them a real must-have.
6.      Wood elements
To add some warmth, implement wooden elements. A rustic wood beam can fit both the modern and classic style. I would also consider installing teak shower floors.
Â
7.  Storage space
Storage space for all the towels and toiletries is an integral part of the spa-worthy bathroom. Open shelving is a neat solution as it enables easy access and allows you to display your collection of towels.
Â
8.   Let there be light
Lighting is the essence of your spa shelter’s charm. It is advisable to employ multiple, low-lighting sources. Candles are a safe bet and you can line them up along the insert shelf above the tub.
Â
9.     Reflective symphony
Â
You don’t have to break a bank to witness the majestic spa sensation. Use reflective surfaces such as mirrors to your utmost advantage. Bounce the light around and work some shimmering magic with crystal decor.
Â
10. Shower option
You don’t have a bathtub? Well, don’t fret. You can still enhance the comfort by introducing a shower benche. They offer support for long sessions of showering and chilling out.
Â
11. Double sinks
Having more than one sink is always preferable. This is about functionality, but also style. Namely, you can go for a great combo of vessel sinks and furniture-like cabinets to boost the overall visual appeal.
12. Book holder
Do yourself a favor and add a book holder. This easy upgrade will allow you to read your favorite novel in the tub and sip a glass of exquisite wine.
Â
13.  Fragrances
Â
Indulge all your senses. Deal with unpleasant odors and fill the air with nice fragrances. There are many ways to do this: bamboo charcoal bags, scented candles, homemade potpourri, air fresheners, etc. Â
14.  A nice bath mat
In case new flooring is outside your budget, shop around for stylish mats. Feel the softness underfoot and deliver an amazing decorative touch.
Â
15.  DIY touches
Your bathroom should reflect who you are and echo your sense of style. So, feel free to engage in DIY decoration projects. From wall art to masonry jar storage, there is no shortage of amazing items you can craft.
Â
Now you should have a clear idea on how to turn your dreams into reality. To give your bathroom a proper spa treatment, make smart design and decorative choices. Blend sublime style and ultimate functionality. Always keep an eye on what kind of vibe your additions emit. Check out recent trends and draw inspiration from design paragons of today. At the same time, try to make a personal stamp and ensure your spa shelter reflects who you are.
