7 simple spa-style bathroom ideas for your home
A trip to the spa leaves you feeling pampered, relaxed, and rejuvenated - so why not recreate that blissful experience in your own bathroom? By incorporating these soothing elements, you can easily create a spa-like escape that's perfect for winding down and decompressing after a long day.
1. Add some greenery
Everyone knows that being close to nature makes us feel more relaxed, which is why incorporating plants is a great way to make your bathroom feel like a spa.
Potted houseplants will look beautiful in any spot, whether it's on the floor, on a countertop, or even suspended from the ceiling. Make sure you choose plants that will thrive in a humid environment, or go with faux greenery if you think living plants won't be compatible with your bathroom.
Hanging fresh eucalyptus in the shower is another great spa bathroom idea, as the soothing smell will help you feel more relaxed even if you're only hopping in for a quick rinse before starting your day. You could even opt for green towels to match, like Christy's luxurious Supreme towel in the shade Spruce.
2. Invest in high-quality towels
For a soothing bathtime experience, throw out those old scratchy towels and treat yourself to something a little more opulent. Sumptuously soft towels are a must if you want to make your bathroom feel more spa-like.
Christy's thick and fluffy Renaissance towels are made from the most luxurious Egyptian cotton and come in a wide range of soothing shades. Enveloping yourself in this towel as you step out of the bath or shower almost feels like being wrapped in a warm embrace, so it's no wonder it's been a staple in our bathroom collection for decades.
As well as helping you recreate the spa experience at home, high-quality towels will last longer than cheaper alternatives, retaining their luxurious softness even after countless washes.
3. Opt for stylish open shelving
Make your bathroom essentials part of the decor by installing open shelving. This will allow you to make a display of your prettier toiletries and smellies, adding a decorative flair to the space that wouldn't look out of place in a spa.
Consider decanting things like cotton pads and shower gel into pretty glass storage jars and lining them up neatly on your open shelves for a stunning spa-like look. You can even display your beautifully folded towels on open shelves to make them easily accessible.
4. Keep the space clutter-free
Cluttered countertops and overflowing cabinets don't exactly exude relaxation. If you want your bathroom to feel more like a spa, you first need to make the space neat and tidy, and then a plan to keep it that way.
To declutter your bathroom, start by getting rid of any products that have expired or gone unused for over a year. Place any items that you don't use regularly inside cabinets, drawers, or baskets, leaving your counter space and open shelving free for the essentials that you use every day.
Ensuring you have lots of storage space is key to making sure clutter doesn't build up over time, as you're more likely to leave things on countertops if you don't have anywhere to neatly tuck them away. Make sure you have plenty of different storage options in your chosen bathroom colour scheme so that the space stays tidy.
5. Adorn your bathroom with multiple mirrors
Add mirrors to your bathroom to make the space feel more bright and airy. Mirrors create the illusion of larger spaces, making them particularly beneficial for small bathrooms that might otherwise feel cramped and lacking in spa-like ambience.
When it comes to choosing mirrors for your spa bathroom, the bigger the better. Large mirrors will add another touch of opulence to your space and instantly make your daily routine more luxurious.
6. Add stylish bath rugs
Stepping onto a cold tile floor is anything but luxurious, which is why covering your bathroom floor with plush bath rugs is essential for recreating the spa experience at home.
Crafted from quality cotton that feels sumptuously soft beneath your feet, Christy's Deep Pile Rug is the perfect choice for any style of bathroom. Choose from a range of elegant colours, all designed to add a simple touch of luxury to your space by keeping you cosy.
7. Install a new shower head
Simply replacing your shower head with a more luxurious model is another great way to transform your daily routine into a pampering experience. Rain shower heads that spray water from directly above are a popular choice for spa-inspired bathrooms, or you might prefer one that has massaging spray patterns.
If your budget allows, consider upgrading other bathroom fixtures, such as your taps, as well. Choosing higher quality models will instantly make your bathroom feel more luxurious and rejuvenating.
