How to Turn Your Bathroom into a Relaxing Home Spa

After a long week at work, there's nothing better for your body and mind than relaxing at a visit to the spa. Unfortunately, regular spa visits can quickly add up in cost, and during the colder months, most people would rather stay and relax at home. But, the good news is that you don't have to miss out on your soothing spa visits, even if it's freezing outside or you're on a tight budget. There are several things that you can do to turn your bathroom into a calming, spa-like sanctuary right there in your own home.

#1. Improve the Visual Appeal:

First and foremost, the easiest way to make improvements to your bathroom is to upgrade the visuals. Decorating is vital for getting a spa-like style for your bathroom space; most spas tend to go for a ‘less is more' approach since a minimal style can open up the room, giving it a relaxing and serene atmosphere. Opt for calming, earthy colors such as greens, browns, and grays. For lighter bathrooms, it's a good idea to choose lighter and more neutral colors such as pale green, light gray, and beige. To finish off the effect, install dimming lights in your bathroom to soften your lighting and create a more spa-like feel when you're relaxing in the bathtub.

#2. Upgrade Your Shower Head:

A jacuzzi might not be in your bathroom budget, but you can make a huge difference to the room simply by upgrading your shower head. A filtered shower head is a good idea since it's designed to filter out any chlorine found in the tap water, avoiding drying out your skin and hair. For a more luxurious feel, go for a rain shower head, which covers more areas and makes for a more therapeutic shower experience. A hand-held massage head can be directed at various parts of your body to soothe aches and pains. Check out simpletoilet.com for more ideas.

#3. Stay Warm With Heated Towels:

Installing a heated towel rail in your bathroom can be more affordable than you may realize, and it's a great finishing touch to add to a relaxing spa bathroom. After stepping out of the shower or bathtub, the last thing that you want is to wrap yourself in a cold, uninviting towel. Having warm, fluffy towels ready to take off the rail will really give your bathroom that luxurious spa feel.  

#4. De-Clutter:

Last but not least, keeping your bathroom clean and clutter free is key to turning it into a soothing spa experience. Use storage solutions to keep your cosmetics and toiletries neatly tucked away out of sight, and regularly clear out any that have gone past their use-by date or have been sat gathering dust for a while. If storage space is scarce in your bathroom, you might want to think about adding more by installing shelving, using an under-sink cabinet, or arranging them in pretty glass jars.

The cos of regular spa visits can soon add up, so why not turn your own bathroom at home into a relaxing spa experience?
