No one says no to some rest and relaxation. Do you know how easy it is to do it at home in style? There are many tips and tricks on how to turn your bathroom into a spa. Even if it is small, it does not mean that it cannot be turned into a relaxing and refreshing oasis. In fact, the few square meters is an advantage. Even the slightest change in a small space has an effect on the overall aesthetics, while in a larger one it is lost. The key is to know exactly what we need to do to achieve this coveted spa-like atmosphere.
- Clean the bathtub. We did not start well, did we? Instead of rest, work? Believe me, your body and mind will thank you for it. You can achieve an effective DIY cleaning, using products that are in your kitchen. Salt and lemons are ideal for removing soap residues. Simply dip a lemon in salt and use it as a sponge to scrub hard stains. If you have an old ceramic bathtub, you can make it shine again by using an oven cleaner. Just remember to wear gloves and let space ventilate well before you go in for your bath.
- Get rid of the junk. First of all, I plead guilty to the accumulation, from time to time, of empty packaging and other useless things. A storage room-like bathroom does not help to create a relaxing atmosphere. Fortunately, decluttering is one of the fastest ways to make your bathroom look more like a spa. Throw away old bottles, anything nearing its expiration date or anything you rarely use in the bin.
- Decorate with plants. Plants, in addition to aesthetics, clean and filter the air around us and help create a calm environment - ideal when trying to create your own spa area. Try plants that thrive in high humidity conditions. Ferns, aloe vera, bamboo, and of course, orchids are some options for the green in the bathroom.
- Add gold details. For a sense of luxury, invest in gold-colored accessories. Depending on your budget, you can choose between knobs, handles, batteries, hangers, shelves, etc.
- Set the tone with proper lighting. To relieve stress after a long day, you need low lighting. Candlelight is ideal for significantly improving the atmosphere. As long as you do not overdo it with their number.
- Take care of the floor. In addition to the sense of comfort, it offers on bare feet, a rug in the bathroom raises the level of luxury of the space. Instead of a classic, small mat next to the bathtub, try something bigger.
- Replace plastic packaging. Use a dispenser for your shower gels, shampoos, and soaps. You will be amazed at how much such a simple move transforms the look of the bathroom.
- Keep the water warm. To be able to stay in the bathtub for at least 20 minutes without the water cooling down, it should be much hotter than you would like when you start filling the bathtub. Wait a while before entering, not to get burnt. Always keep the door closed. The steam that will accumulate helps the home spa experience. The dense foam also has a practical use. Creates water insulation, helping the water stay warmer for longer.
- Choose earthy colors. White gives the feeling of cold and sterile. Find inspiration in nature. Colors such as brown, gray, and green will give your bathroom an organic feel that will soothe you after a long day.
- Invest in fancy towels. When dealing with a small bathroom, the possibility of towels being in public view is high, which inevitably integrates them into the decoration of the space. Investing in a set of beautiful towels can enhance your space, ensuring uniformity.
