Just a few moments of self-care daily can benefit your mental health. While going to the spa is a fantastic way to de-stress, not everyone has the time to go on a trip due to hectic schedules. Fortunately, you can unwind at home by including relaxing features in your next bathroom remodel. 

Here are seven ways to create a spa-like experience in your bathroom. 

Tips for Designing a Relaxing Bathroom

1. Implement a Calming Color Scheme

You can use color to set the atmosphere of your bathroom. Soft, neutral hues can calm your senses. Skip shades too bright or striking to keep the room from feeling overwhelming. Go with nature-inspired colors instead, such as sage green, sky blue and muted browns. 

2. Consider a Soaking Tub or Curbless Shower

A soaking tub will add a luxurious touch to your bathroom. Besides soothing your tense muscles, it can improve your blood circulation, mood and skin. Spending time in a soaking tub can also lessen stress and anxiety. 

Another thing to consider in your bathroom renovation is a curbless shower. It’s known for its elegance and ability to create the illusion of space. You can customize it to include spa-like features such as shower seats, heated floors and a rain showerhead. 

3. Have Sufficient Storage

It’s hard to relax when a lot is going on around you. Eliminating clutter is essential to creating a tranquil space. Extra storage will make your bathroom look neater. If you have an organized space, it’s easier to find things when you need them. Open shelving is great for displaying decorative items and storing towels. It also helps to add hooks and additional drawers or cabinets. 

4. Use Natural Materials

Natural elements will effortlessly make your bathroom look like a spa. Hanging or potted plants will instantly liven and brighten the room. Consider high-quality stone countertops for your vanity. Moreover, wooden accents and accessories will give your space more warmth. 

5. Incorporate Smart Home Technology

Do you want to elevate your bathing experience? If so, try to incorporate smart home technology into your next bathroom remodel. You can integrate smart technology into various areas of your space, from flooring and lights to mirrors. Water-resistant speakers are also great for listening to soothing music or sounds while bathing. 

6. Use Cozy Linens  

Linens can serve both decorative and functional purposes. Light-colored, matching towels and robes can give your bathroom a cozy and welcoming feel. You can also hang floor-to-ceiling airy curtains to make a statement and for a hint of elegance.

7. Enhance the Mood

Certain scents can make you feel more pleasant and at ease. Rosemary, lavender, fresh bamboo and ylang-ylang are some scents that can help bring your mind to a peaceful state. Use essential oils in a diffuser or your baths or light up scented candles.
