DIY: Make Your Bathroom More Like a Spa
Even if we forget about the fact that we all live in hectic times, where our minds and bodies endure stress throughout the entire day, there is one good reason why you should do your best to indulge yourself at home – because you feel like it!
The bathroom is an excellent part of your home that can be turned into a home-spa area, where you can spend time meditating, relaxing and gathering fresh energy for new victories. Just several little tweaks can make your bathroom look a lot more like a spa. Although, some of them may require the help of a professional, most of them, you can do on your own.
Bathroom Colors
While usually, shades of blue, green and turquoise are considered to be relaxing colors, there is nothing more important than choosing bathroom colors that feel good to you. If these colors don’t appeal to you, you may consider the latest trends of earthy and chocolate shades for bathrooms. Once you choose the palette, make sure that everything from tiles to your textile is in harmony with it.
Bathroom Elements
Once you enter the bathroom, you often notice the lights, furniture and the colors. Therefore, these elements are among the first things that require your attention. You should get rid of all the unnecessary items in your bathroom to avoid the feeling of clutter.
The type of furniture for your vanity and bathtub should be your choice, but don’t save money on the shower or bathtub elements.
They are what make the bath resemble a spa. Contact a plumbing agency with experience to inquirer about the variety of choices. There are shower heads with massaging effects, or decadent and amazing bathtub spouts.
Bathroom Lights
Forget about strong overhead lights and think about the soothing effects of soft lights. The best way to achieve this is to experiment with different types of bathroom lights. You will need some lights around your mirror. Mostly on the top and on the sides. However, the rest of your bathroom should have recessed lights. In addition, make sure that they have a dimmer, so that you can regulate the intensity. Remember to include scented candles for their romantic glow.
Bathroom Scents and Spa Treatments
The truth is, you can make the majority of spa treatments in your home by using things that you already have. It is just a matter of finding some perfect spa recipes. For example, oatmeal makes a perfect body scrub, especially combined with some essential oils that nurture your skin at the same time. Find some jars, and try the recipes above (click the link) The scents alone will do the trick.
To complete the theme, add soft music, with dimmed lights and a glass of your favorite drink and you will have yourself a spa.
