Creating a Spa Bathroom

A large bathroom with tub.

soak your stress away

We all love a beautiful spa bathroom when we’re on a luxury vacation. Why not enjoy that luxury every day of the year, while we’re at home, too? 

You can create a spa experience in any size bathroom, although bigger is almost always better! 

Think neutral or calming colors, because they lend themselves to the serenity you’d like for a spa retreat. Also consider coordinating colors with your master bedroom for a seamless transition from sleep to serenity.

where to start

Here’s where you can start:

  • New sinks, countertops and backsplashes
  • Exquisite new hardware, including pulls, handles and faucets
  • A soothing paint color that makes you feel calm
  • Soft and luxurious bath textiles, including towels, bath rugs and bathrobes
  • An elegant vanity, preferably a double vanity if you have room
  • Stunning framed mirrors, instead of frameless wall-to-wall mirrors
  • Layered lighting for both function and beauty
  • Maybe even a skylight to bring in natural light

Even more ideas to enhance your spa experience include:

  • A beautiful, elegant soaking tub
  • A steam shower
  • Plenty of towel racks, and even heated towel warmers
  • Soaps, scrubs, lotions and fragrances that please YOU
  • Beautiful smelling candles and aromatherapy
  • A built-in bench or movable chair or stool
  • Built-in storage, to keep chaos to a minimum and maintain a zen calm feeling
