You might think that it’s impossible to replicate the relaxing oasis of a spa bathroom in your home, but with a few simple tips from pros, you’ll be on your way to a day of pampering in no time. Here are just a few ways to transform your bathroom into a relaxing retreat.
- Invest in candles. There are few better (or easier) ways to create a spa feeling than by adding mood-enhancing candles. Place them on the back of the toilet, on the sink, or even on the edges of the tub.
- Switch out the lighting. Try a bulb with lower wattage to create a peaceful, relaxing ambiance in your bathroom.
- Add some spa essentials. Fill an attractive basket with fancy lotions, soaps, and bath salts and place it within arm’s length of your bathtub.
- Purchase spa-quality towels. Make the upgrade to plush, luxurious towels. Choose towels in soft, muted colors or even stark white to impart that spa-like look. Instead of folding your towels, roll them into cylinders and store them in a basket by the foot of your shower.
- Keep the counters clean. Clutter works against the minimalist look that you’re going for, so store your essential products in a cabinet or corral them with a stylish tray.
