These days it makes sense to create a little sanctuary in your own home because of the stresses of a modern world there is so little time to relax and pamper yourself. To take refuge from these daily stresses the bathroom is the ideal place to make your little haven. Whether it is just for a long soak in the bath, making up your own facial or a complete pampering session all you are required to do is create a spa like ambience with lots of suitable accessories.
Sometimes the bathroom is overdue for a revamp in any case so creating your spa sanctuary may be kick started by giving your bathroom a painting makeover. White paint will instil your home spa with a sense of purity but it may also make it look too cool and clinical. You could therefore go for a calming pale pastel or neutral colour like cream or a soft yellow. Another way is with a more invigorating aquatic colour. One thing to remember is to use a waterproof type paint which can withstand condensation and prevents mould developing.
On the floor avoid carpet which can soak up lots of moisture and rot, instead decorative tiles or lino will add a better visual appeal. For an extra dimension to your home spa use tiles on the wall.
Of course if your bathroom suit is shabby and in need of replacement then you can purchase a new one. The major DIY centres all stock very good ranges of bathroom ranges which are designer inspired but there are many excellent stores which you can check out online that sells bathroom suites of quality at affordable prices. if money is no option and you really desire a perfectly created home spa then you may even want to splash out on your very own hot tub, with plenty of high end products on the market.
If you are replacing your suit visualise what your ideal home spa will look like and what style you are aiming at. There are many options and if you go for a modern look which is slick and streamlined, go for simple and luxurious lines with smooth glossy finishes and some chrome that gleams. If you want the more regal look of a vintage bath then detailing is needed to fit your needs. To avoid your new suit overcrowding the bathroom, measuring up before hand is essential. Space is needed for undressing and also enough space is needed for a towel rail and laundry basket. Of course if there is plenty of room in your bathroom then you should also add a chair for relaxing into after your bath for doing things like panting your nails, its ideal for chilling out.
A great enhancement is adding some smart panel boarding and you can add a new taps to your home spa for a little touch of luxury. Replacing there existing bath with a free standing one is the way a lot of people are going. You can get very modern versions or you could go for the classic look with a roll top and clawed feet. These baths can be found online with lots of options. One other option is to turn your bathroom into a wet room and remove the bath, but this requires special plumbing and membranes and will need expert planning.
Neat storage or shelving is also a must and you need to be clever here as the only things that should be on display are your pack of soft fluffy towels and your display of pampering accessories. Cleaning items and half used products should be hidden to help you relax in you new home spa. For a nice touch have some jars filled with shells and starfish and also nice pebbles and to the ambience.
An essential feature are mirrors which make use of natural light and create an illusion of space. Of course mirrors are also vital as you need to see how good you look after your pampering session.
