Create a Spa Bathroom

Before getting your hands dirty, you will need to promise yourself that you will spend more time relaxing – in the bathroom. Whether you plan on gutting the bathroom and starting from scratch, or simply want a few changes, here are some tips on how to turn your current bathroom into a relaxing spa. You won’t want to get out of the tub!

1. Upgrade to a whirlpool or champagne tub. Having a whirlpool tub is like having a hot tub in your bathroom.

2. Install a vessel or above the counter sink. These sinks can give any bathroom a spa-like feel.


3. Set up a bathroom lighting scheme. Use low-lights, light dimming switches, and candles throughout the room.


4. Paint walls with natural and earthy tones and try to pick out bathroom furniture featuring dark colors and woods.


5. Place speakers throughout the spa room so you can listen to your favorite music while soaking in the tub.

Small Bathroom Storage (Part Two)

Mounting a shelf instantly provides space for bathroom products or decorations. A three tiered shelf is even better!


The corner glass shelf pictured below is similar to a small piece of furniture. It can be easily installed and remain inconspicuous in the corner. “Eastcoaster” from Virginia explains the shelf can be “affixed to the wall to ensure stability if you are going to have heavy things on the shelf”.
