Add some candles around your tub in a soothing scent.
For some, the bathroom is merely a functional room, necessary for personal hygiene but not much else. For others, the bathroom can be a retreat -- a place to get away from it all and soothe away the stresses of the day. If you fall into the latter category, you will want to decorate your bathroom with serene colors and calming decor. With the right color palate and accessories, your bathroom will become the soothing, spa-like getaway you deserve.
Instructions
1. Paint the walls. Choose a soothing color. Neutrals -- especially those found in nature such as browns, grays and soft greens -- are especially calming, according to House Beautiful.
2. Accent with white. White tiles, molding and shelving give a spa-like feel to any bathroom.
3. Accessorize with luxurious touches. Invest in some large, fluffy white towels. Roll them up and place them on shelves. Place clear glass jars full of bath salts next to the towels for added color and interest.
4. Hang serene art on the wall. Soft photos of nature are a soothing choice, according to Spa magazine. In fact, adding touches of nature to your bathroom will create a calming effect. Set a green plant on a shelf, such as a lucky bamboo plant. Or fill a pretty bowl full of polished rocks.
5. Set out candles around your bathtub or on the vanity. Choose candles with a soothing scent, such as lavender.
