If there’s one space in your home that is ideal for relaxing in at the end of a long day, it’s your bathroom. Of course, a lot of us allow our bathrooms to get into a bad state, simply because we don’t class them as being as important as the rest of our homes – it’s not like they get as much use as the rest of our homes, is it? Even so, your bathroom should be a space that you enjoy spending time in, and can easily relax and unwind in.
We all need a little pampering every now and then, which is why it’s important to ensure that your bathroom is the perfect place to relax in. If you’ve ever been to a spa, you will know the true meaning of relaxation. There’s something wonderfully calming and tranquil about spas, allowing your mind and body to instantly relax, meaning that any worries and concerns melt away.
To make your bathroom a truly relaxing and tranquil space, take inspiration from the design and decor of your favorite spa. To help you to do that below is a list of inspiration and ideas:
Pick a natural color palette
You’ve probably noticed that most spas are decorated in the same way – or in similar ways, at least, and that’s because to create a tranquil space, a certain color palette is needed. As a rule of thumb, to create a relaxed space, a natural or neutral color palette is needed. Combining both natural and neutral shades can also work well, it’s just a case of finding the colors that allow you to feel relaxed and content. Studies have shown that a combination of sea foam blue and moss green hues is ideal for creating a calm and tranquil space. For a little inspiration, have a browse on Pinterest – you’re sure to find some fantastic inspiration.
Incorporate natural features
The chances are that every spa you’ve ever been to had natural features incorporated into it – think wooden flooring, wooden wall panels, and some form of living nature, such as an orchid or potted plant. The fact that most spas incorporate nature into them means that having natural features incorporated into a space help to create a more tranquil space. To give your bathroom this same vibe, take the time to read up about the best ways to incorporate natural features into it – for this, websites like www.smartstylebathrooms.com.au can be incredibly useful resources.
Add a sense of comfort
To give your bathroom spa-like tranquility, you need to make it a space that is as comfortable as a spa. You see, what makes spas feel so relaxing is the fact that they have comfortable areas to sit down and relax in, and your bathroom should have the same. If you’ve got the space, consider adding an armchair or stall of some sort to your bathroom, making it a more comfortable space.
Focus on minimalistic design
There’s nothing less relaxing than clutter, which is why it’s important to ensure that your bathroom is a wonderfully minimalistic space. Take inspiration from your favorite spa, and you will see that minimalism is crucial when it comes to creating a relaxed and tranquil bathroom design. The key to creating a minimalistic space is having adequate storage space and ensuring that you only have what you need and don’t hoard.
So, there you have it, everything that you need to know to make your bathroom feel like a spa.
