How to Create Your Dream Home Spa
If you’re designing or redesigning a bathroom space, you’re likely considering the many style options available to you. While it may be tempting to go with the most current trends in interior design, it’s important to consider what trends offer longevity and timelessness. Another important quality in a bathroom design is the ability for it to create a sense of calm and relaxation. A design philosophy that checks all of these boxes is the home spa esthetic.
Ready to turn your bathroom into a spa? We’ve compiled a list of key elements to incorporate into your design to help you create the perfect bathroom retreat.
Glass
One of the defining features of a home spa is unadorned glass shower walls. Creating a crisp, clean look, glass shower walls also allow for maximum natural light to pass into showers. But glass isn’t only reserved for showers in a home spa design. Consider using it for accent pieces like minimalistic vases or soap dishes.
Bright Lighting With Dimmer Switches
Introduce as much natural light into your bathroom design as possible by incorporating large windows. Window capabilities limited in your space? Simply ensure that your lighting fixtures are bright to compensate, and maybe consider oversized mirrors to bounce that light throughout the room. But include dimmer switches in your bathroom’s electrical plans for the transition into relaxing evening vibes. Nobody wants to take a night bath with glaring overhead lighting. Set the mood with the ability to lower the lighting with a simple toggle of a switch.
Clean, Sharp Edges
When choosing the perfect vanity, bath, and other fixtures for your home spa, keep in mind that clean, sharp edges will establish a soothing tone throughout the space. Creating a home spa incorporates minimalist philosophies. The simpler and less cluttered the space, the more relaxed the mind.
Soft Color Palette
A good rule of thumb while choosing colors for your home spa’s walls, vanity, towels, and other elements is to choose colors that are muted, light, and often pastels. Dark colors tend to make a space feel tighter (perfect if you have an oversized living room that you’re trying to make cozier, but not so perfect if you have limited space to work with in a bathroom). Light colors, on the other hand, open up a space and create a sensation of calm.
Natural Accents
Nothing says “spa” like bamboo floor mats, stone accent walls, and oversized green plants. Spa design is all about bringing natural elements indoors, so use accents and accessories to do so in your home spa. Science has shown that plants (and nature in general) have a calming effect on humans. Embrace that fact by incorporating natural elements into the most relaxing room in your home.
Luxury Spa Features
If you’re looking to take your home spa to the next level, introducing luxury features like a personal steam room or massaging tub might be the way to go. Steam away the stress with state of the art personal saunas and baths equipped with massaging jets. CBM Mart offers a variety of luxury appliances to choose from, like this top of the line sauna.
