How To Turn Your Bathroom Into A Spa

Everyone deserves proper rest. However, not everyone has the time or budget to spend at a luxury spa. On the bright side, you’d be surprised how simple it is to create your very own spa experience in your own home. And while you can renovate the room or paint it, you can also just change one or two things. That why today we are going to show you how to turn your bathroom into a spa with some simple tips and tricks.

#New Shower Head

Even if you don’t have your own home and are renting, you can still incorporate this trick. You really don’t need to settle for crappy shower heads. While the standard head will get the job done, it doesn’t add any sense of relaxation or luxury to your bathroom experience. So, swap it out for a better version. It takes about fifteen minutes, but makes all the difference. We recommend picking one with two heads, a rain shower option, or a massage one. It depends on what you are looking for.

#Bathroom Plants

If you have natural light in the bathroom, take advantage. Create a beautiful nature scene by adding moisture-loving bathroom plants. This will give a spa vibe and certain plants also have relaxing properties. For example, the eucalyptus leaves are a great choice for the bathroom. You can hand them around the shower head or keep them in a vase. When you shower, the plant will get watered and the whole room will smell delightful, like a tranquil scented sauna.

#Essential Oils

Speaking of smells, essential oils are a great way to help you relax and create a luxury spa feeling to your very own bathroom. Some scents have the ability to instantly send your mind into a peaceful state. Get yourself a diffuser and add some of the following calming oils: ylang-ylang, lavender and rosemary. You can also find such oils in candles, if you don’t want to use a diffuser.

#Set The Lighting

You’ve probably heard that lighting can set the mood. And that’s absolutely true! If you want your bathroom to have a chill vibe, why not install a dimmer light. This way you can choose how bright it will be based on your mood. If you don’t want to handle dealing with installation, you can just get some smart bulbs or floor lamps.

#Music For The Soul

Music can help heal us in a ton of ways. So, why not create your very own spa playlist. Pick out songs that make you feel good and have a chill vibe to them. We recommend you play it on a waterproof Bluetooth speaker or one that is made for use in the shower. Either way set your mood with some good soul music.

#Bath Bombs

Who doesn’t love a good bath bomb? Different bath bombs have different purposes. Some are just for fun, while others can hold relaxing properties. You can make your very own DIY bath bombs for every mood! Adding a bomb to your bath will really create a spa-like experience and can help you feel less tense. Plus, they look really cool.

#Warm Towels

Warm towels after a shower? Um, yes, please! If you want a real luxury feel to your bathroom, switch out your normal rods and hooks and go for a towel warmer. This little upgrade can really change your bathroom experience. If you don’t want to install one, the market also offers portable ones that are hassle-free and way more affordable. Either way, it’s worth it.
