If you want to turn your bathroom into a spa, Lauren from Body by Buckner has a few suggestions that just might surprise you.

Color

If you want to turn your bathroom into a spa, choose an earthy color palate. Colors that are inspired by nature such as green, gray, or brown will give your space a calming and organic feel. If your bathroom is small, go for a neutral or lighter color scheme such as pale green or light gray.

Dimming Lights

Installing wall sconces or recessed ceiling lights with dimmer controls will give you that spa like feeling when you take a nice long soak in the bath. However, unless you are a licensed electrician, a professional is recommended.

Faux Tiles

Use faux wood tiles for warmth. Although wood floors are great, they aren’t so good for damp areas. Faux wood tiles fit the bill and are actually made from porcelain or ceramic imitating the texture of wood. Faux wood tiles are highly water resistant and come in different colors and patterns if you want to turn your bathroom into a spa.

Clear the Clutter

Clutter causes stress, which is why you will never see toiletries in a day spa. If storage space is an issue, use clear glass jars for your toiletries. Jarred toiletries will blend with your décor giving you a warm and peaceful spa bathroom.

Invest in a Shower Massage Showerhead

A massage showerhead doesn’t take up space and will get your closer to your own personal spa. A massage showerhead is perfect if you don’t have a bathtub.

Heated Towels

Buy a towel warmer and you will feel like you are at the spa. Heated towels will keep you warm and are always within reach.

Smell

Aromatherapy is an essential part of every spa. Scents can boost your mood and your overall health. Wake up in the morning with some peppermint-scented soap, or infuse some lavender for a good night’s sleep.

Candles

There is nothing like candles to give your bathroom peace and harmony. Get scented candles or opt for an oil diffuser or LED candles if you are worried about safety.

Sound

There is nothing like a long soak in a tub, but without some tunes, it can be boring. If you want to turn your bathroom into a spa, turn on some classical or relaxation music. Listening to songs while you soak really will transport you to another world.

You really can turn your bathroom into a spa, and best of all, it won’t cost you a fortune when you follow these tips from Body by Buckner.
