Plan a spa bathroom remodel

-

While visiting a spa is one way to rest and recharge, individual­s may be able to enjoy similar perks if they incorporat­e these spalike features into their homes.

HANG ARTWORK

Any space is made more welcoming and classy with the addition of some artistic touches. Hang pictures that will create a relaxing atmosphere, such as floral prints or beachscape­s. Integratin­g large prints or a gallery wall can add a different dimension to the bathroom.

CHANGE THE COLOR SCHEME

Spas are typically bright and clean and evoke feelings of purity. This can be achieved by choosing white, off-white or pale gray in the color scheme. An all-white design for fixtures and tiles also makes it easy to swap out accessorie­s.

INCORPORAT­E NATURAL MATERIALS

When decorating the space, use natural materials such as stone, wood and marble rather than plastic or metal. This approach can add to the room’s luxury appeal.

INSTALL A RAINFALL SHOWER HEAD

Upgrade fixtures to make them more luxurious. Multihead shower fixtures and rainfall shower heads can help anyone unwind and relax. Rain showers evoke calmness and relaxation. Additional shower upgrades can include steam functions, soothing lights and aromathera­py.

KEEP THE TUB

While many adults admit to not bathing nearly as much as they shower, there are benefits to having a deep, spalike tub. Soaking away the stresses of the day, lounging in the tub with a good book and listening to music while enjoying a bubble bath are all ways to slow down and eke out a bit more quiet, personal time to unwind. Tubs can be outfitted with waterfall features to add to the ambiance even further.

INVEST IN QUALITY LINENS

When stepping out of the shower or the bath, individual­s can wrap themselves in thick, luxurious towels or robes. Guests will also appreciate comfortabl­e towels if they come to visit.

With a few added touches, certain features can transform home bathrooms into spalike retreats.
