A few key accessories can turn any bathroom into a spa.
Even if your bathroom doesn't have a luxurious bathtub, you can still turn it into a spa-like space. Creating a calming spa feel can easily be done with bathroom accessories such as fluffy towels, lotions, candles and flowers. Pamper yourself in the shower by creating a seating space, use natural bath products and a loofah sponge to relax and wash away the cares of the day.
Instructions
1. Clean and de-clutter the bathroom. Spas are typically extremely clean with minimal decoration. Clean the bathroom and remove any unnecessary items. Place trash cans under the sink and clear clutter off the counter.
2. Add a chair or bench in the shower stall. Even though there is not a tub in the bathroom, you can relax on a waterproof stool or bench.
3. Emphasize purity by using natural bath products and a loofah sponge. Place a variety of good-smelling, natural soaps in the shower stall. Place two to three loofah sponges in a bowl on a shelf in the stall.
4. Place fluffy towels on the counter, shelves and racks. New, fluffy towels are an inexpensive way to give a bathroom a spa-like feel. Fold three to four bath towels and place on a shelf or counter. You could also roll the bath towels and place them in a basket on the floor. Likewise, hand towels may be rolled and placed in a small basket on the shelf or counter or stacked into a pyramid shape. For added luxury, place a towel warmer in the corner or on the wall and drape two bath towels over it.
5. Natural elements add to a spa-like feel. Use real or artificial flowers, such as orchids or lilies, or a small bamboo plant.
6. No spa bathroom is complete without candles. Put candles in two to three glass vases and place on the counter or shelf. You could also put three candles on a candle plate and surround them with decorative rocks and flower petals. Candles that provide a soothing aroma such as lavender are recommended.
7. Put decorative accessories and lotions on the counter. The soap dispenser, toothbrush holder and lotion dispenser should be a matching set, such as bronze or chrome. Fill the dispensers with nice-smelling soaps and lotions.
8. Among the nice final touches you could add are a soft, fluffy robe hung behind the door and comfortable slippers placed by the shower stall. Also, be sure to use a luxurious rug outside the shower door to comfort your feet as you exit the shower. Place a radio or CD player on the shelf to listen to relaxing music or the sound of running water. Hang artwork depicting peaceful scenes.
