Transforming your bathroom into a tranquil oasis is key to creating a serene space. Whether planning a major renovation or just adding a few impactful touches, here are our tips for creating a spa-like atmosphere.
Do Sweat the Small Stuff
Designing a luxurious space dedicated to tranquility and relaxation goes beyond the overall layout; it’s also about the thoughtful details. Bathrooms should no longer be an afterthought or overlooked spaces. They need to be indulgent, chic havens that are both practical and inviting, Simple additions like cozy towels, flickering candles, and decorative soap trays can transform the space, infusing it with new energy and uplifting the room's ambiance.
Incorporate Layers
The bathroom offers the perfect opportunity to experiment with a mix of colors and textures for a relaxed, layered look that catches the eye with its contrasting elements. We especially love the combination of cool marble or stone with metallic accents. For this space above, white tones interwoven with smoky grays create a striking contrast with the warm wood vanity and sleek mirrors.
Make Space For Luxurious Details
Ideally, having both a freestanding bathtub and a spacious walk-in shower creates the ultimate bathroom retreat. However, even in smaller spaces, you can still achieve a luxurious spa-like atmosphere. Incorporating steam showers and concealed niches to maintain a minimalist, serene feel, along with features like oversized rain showerheads, radiant heating, and thermostatic controls ensure an indulgent experience.
Create an Attractive Product Display
Curating a selection of your favorite products in an artful display enhances the spa-like ambiance of your bathroom. Start with sleek storage to hide essentials, then showcase the most visually appealing beauty tools and products. Opting for neutral decorative pieces is an effortless way to achieve this. We love to use chic glass jars to hold jewelry along with our go-to skincare items.
Never Underestimate Good Lighting
We love bathrooms filled with natural light, and look to enhance this by layering our lighting fixtures. For example, place sconces on either side of a mirror to cast flattering light on your face, paired with overhead lighting for a soothing space. This approach reduces harsh shadows and improves visibility for tasks like makeup application. Dimmers are also essential for creating the perfect ambiance.
