When you want to refresh, revitalize, and maybe even relax, where do you go? To the neighborhood salon and spa? That’s all well and good, but the price you pay is probably considerable. Plus, when do you find the time in your busy daily schedule? There’s no sense going to the spa if all you can do is sit there and think about the things you should be doing instead. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could create your own personal spa in the comfort of your home?
“Sure,” you’re thinking, “that would be great, but I have the smallest bathroom known to mankind.” Granted, spas are usually quite spacious, that’s true. But even a tiny bathroom home spa is a possibility with the right tips and tools. That’s what the following information is all about – how to create your own luxurious spa from your itsy-bitsy bathroom.
Fancy Towels
Your towels are probably always visible in that small bathroom. So, whether you like it or not, they’re sort of built-in decor. To upgrade your space tenfold, make a small investment in a really nice-looking and fluffy towel set.
Towel Storage
Every bathroom has a towel bar. What if, in lieu of that, you used a wooden ladder? (Not a manufactured one you get at those big hardware stores – we are talking homemade or really old-school.) While providing a place to hang your towels, it automatically warms up your look. Additionally, natural elements give your new spa and inviting organic touch.
Dispensers
Give all your potions, lotions, shampoos, and soaps a brand-new set of dispensers. The look of your bathroom will immediately be transformed.
Art
Just like you can make your bedroom or living room more dramatic with the right artwork, the same can be said for your new tiny bathroom spa. Into your design, add a dimensional layer of glamour with a gallery wall or by integrating a large print.
For a Warmer Floor – Rugs
“Warmer” works two ways here – you’re going to put rugs down, which will make your floor actually feel warmer, yes. But it will also give the room a warmer look. Your design will immediately become more luxurious and sophisticated with this additional layer. For a fresh dose of sophistication, in lieu of a traditional bathmat, try a kilim rug.
Candles
To enhance your ambience, don’t overlook the power of candles to help you wind down after a hard day. You can’t have too many candles. We’re pretty sure that’s a standard rule. A big difference will be made even by the simplest arrangement if you choose to keep it low-key, however. Turn the overhead lights off and burn some candles while you take a long, hot bath. Voila – instant relaxing spa!
Foliage
Plants have a great way of making a room feel sophisticated and inviting. Even a tiny bathroom. For a high-style but low-maintenance solution, consider incorporating a few air plants or succulents.
Shelves
Particularly when dealing with the organizational challenge of a tiny bathroom, a small space dweller’s best friend is shelving. Along with the installation of some open shelving, consider adding towel baskets, decorative accents, and fancy soaps.
Additional Ideas
Here are a few more suggestions:
- Find an attractive bath caddy
- Pick out some gilded goodness (gold gilded faucets, pulls, handles, etc.)
- Dark, deep wood theme with natural textures
