Cosy Bathroom Ideas to Make You Feel Snug This Winter

As those cold, dark nights draw in and the temperature drops, most of us begin to settle into our homes. We might feel more inclined to add a warm bath to our evening routine, and because of this, the bathroom takes centre stage for pampering and self-care. 

Although bathrooms are designed to be practical, that doesn’t mean that they have to feel cold and clinical. Luckily, the experts at Christy are here to give you some cosy bathroom ideas, upgrading your space into a relaxing haven. 

From the weight of a premium towel to the gentle glow of candlelights, sit back and get comfy as we offer our tips on how to create the perfectly snug bathroom. 

Simple yet effective cosy bathroom ideas 

Set the mood with spa-like touches 

A cosy atmosphere is about more than physical warmth. It’s about creating a space that signals to your mind that it's time to unwind. To achieve a truly five-star spa experience, focus on the little details of your bathroom. A soft flicker of a scented candle instantly sets the mood, especially when you choose calming scents like lavender and sandalwood. 

To accompany, a small tray of your favourite bath oils can add an intentional feel. Take some time to apply a face mask, play some relaxing music, and indulge in a bubbly, hot soak. Learn more about how to create the spa experience at home by reading our expert guide. 

Invest in beautifully indulgent towels 

The bathtub is the heart of the winter ritual. When the air is crisp, and your floor is cold, using an old, scratchy towel can quickly interrupt the peaceful experience of a relaxing soak. Your towel collection should be an investment in comfort and quality. This winter, make sure you’re opting for a high GSM, as this can add a cushioned warmth for a cosy, indulgent towel. 

Rely on Christy for your towel choice. Not only are our towels thick and plush against the skin, but they also trap heat, ensuring you stay snug for longer. For true indulgence, choose a bath sheet. Their large size means they’re perfect for the colder months, enveloping you in a warm and comforting embrace. 

Our experts recommend:

• Signature Turkish Cotton Towels - “Our weightiest towel, it’s nice and ‘pillowy’ as well as soft and very thick.” 

• Supreme Supima Cotton Towels - “This towel has been woven to bloom with plushness wash after wash, and is incredibly soft and velvety!” 

• Luxe Turkish Cotton Towels - “Our second weightiest towels, this collection has been more densely woven to create a compact feeling pile that’s still super soft, smooth, and fluffy.” 

Pick colours that embody warmth 

Did you know that colours play a vital role in our mood? In winter, we’re bound to feel a bit more tired and uninspired. To create a bathroom that’s perfect for a hibernating feel, opt for a colour palette that reflects the richness of the season. Our towel collection features an array of different shades. For winter, we’d recommend rich seasonal shades, running from brown towels for a sophisticated feel, or red towels if you’re after a festive touch. 

If you prefer a cleaner, classic aesthetic, you don’t have to abandon your neutral shades. Instead of a harsh, bright white, opt for warmer creams like almond or stone. Don’t forget about your bath mat. This can be a great way to inject a pop of colour without feeling like you’re going overboard in the rest of your bathroom. 

Upgrade your robe 

Cosying up your bathroom isn’t just about taking a hot soak. It’s about those little touches of self-care. One of the best winter luxuries is stepping out of your bath into a warm bathrobe. We recommend draping your Christy luxury robe over a heated towel rail to ensure that it is beautifully warm and snug once you step out of the bath or shower. Our robes have been carefully crafted to hold heat while balancing breathability, making them the perfect winter companion. 

As well as a Christy robe, make sure to indulge in one of our pyjama sets. With cosy gingham prints, crafted from the softest cotton, you’ll feel ready to snuggle up into bed. 

Experiment with textures 

Finally, what better way to get cosy than to replicate the feeling of a winter cabin? A bathroom that looks too sparse can make you feel cold and bare, and while this might feel appropriate for summer, a more tactile approach is best for winter. To achieve this, consider layering textures that will add depth and richness. 

Our specially designed towels come in bold colour adornments and expertly woven textures, perfect for achieving that cosy feel. In particular, a waffle weave creates a space that feels visually and physically soft. Whether it’s your face cloth or hand towel, adding texture is a small way to inject interest and cosiness during the time of year when you’ll rely on your bathroom the most.
