Decorate A Bathroom Like A Spa

Decorate a Bathroom Like a Spa

Bathrooms are not just areas of the house set aside for bathing and brushing your teeth--they are also oases for relaxation. Many people want to feel at peace in their home bathrooms, and there's no more peaceful setting than a serene spa. You can create the same effect in your own home just by decorating your bathroom like a spa.

Instructions

1. Paint your walls a warm and inviting color. While you may love flashy colors, they probably will not produce a calming effect. Jewel tones, deep browns and reds, and a clean and crisp white will help you relax in your bathroom. Paint is an inexpensive way to drastically change the look and feel of a room.

2. Gather a collection of candles. Using complementary colors of candles will help make the room appear more cohesive. Set the candles around your tub and sink. For safety, it is best to use battery-operated candles. These candles look like real candles and give off the same light without the fire hazard. You can also choose scented candles with an aroma that you find appealing.

3. Hang robes and slippers on the wall. A big fluffy robe and a pair of slippers can help you to relax, because both are a big part of the spa experience and invoke feelings of comfort and pampering. Dressing in spa attire may help you get in the mood of having a spa experience in your own bathroom.

4. Set out big fluffy towels. If you want to decorate a bathroom like a spa, you have to get rid of your old, thin towels. Go buy at least two new towels to pamper yourself and buy the oversized towels that you can wrap your entire body in rather than a small towel that barely wraps around your head.

5. Add a small water feature or music to your bathroom. An indoor water fountain, waterfall or other type of water feature add to a serene atmosphere, while calming music can help you relax while in your bathroom. Attach a water feature or radio to the wall if you do not have room on the floor. Hide a radio in the wall or a cabinet or put it behind a plant if it is does not fit into your new decor.

6. Grow plants in your bathroom if possible. Look for plants that can take the high humidity and grow in the light you have available. If you do not have enough natural light to grow a live plant, purchase a few plastic ferns to sit around the room or hang them from the ceiling.
