How to Bring Spa Style and Serenity to Your Bathroom
Need a little ‘me’ time (who doesn’t)? Create a spa-style bathroom and enjoy your own private sanctuary right on your doorstep. And relax…
A luxurious spa break in exotic surroundings is top of many a destination wish list – mine included. In fact, the very prospect of warm, fragrant water, serene rooms and stacks of fluffy white towels is enough to get me planning a trip. But before you whip out your passport, why not create a Zen-like spa in your own home? Before you know it, you’ll be enjoying a year-round vacation without stepping outside your front door…
Choose atmospheric lighting
The pendant lights over this basin create a softer mood than spotlights alone. The dark wood slatted panelling and crisp-lined, pure white basin are visually ‘quiet’, adding to the serenity.

Take the plunge
A Japanese-style plunge pool is deeper than a standard bath and is fitted with a seat, so you can be fully submerged in the restorative embrace of warm water. Natural wood is a key spa material, offering an in-touch-with-nature vibe.

Opt for a huge bath
The calming colours and soothing sounds of a sunken concrete bath and waterfall spout would quieten even the most frazzled nerves. The low level of the tub and bench make the room feel spacious and airy.

Feel the love
Natural materials and earthy textures are winners in a spa bathroom. A pebble-tiled wall and floor not only look incredible, but will feel blissful underfoot. A piece of natural wood creates the perfect surface for a simple white basin.

Store it up
A stash of fluffy towels neatly folded in piles is a must-have for a spa mood. Keep surfaces clear and clutter-free, with plenty of storage solutions to hide away lotions and potions. Light a row of fragrant candles for a relaxing ambience after dark.
