Hello World! Welcome Friends! Going to a spa is the ultimate in relaxation. It’s a moment to truly indulge and pamper yourself. There are a couple of problems with going to the spa for the day, however. One is the cost. It can be very expensive to go so people tend to not go very often. The other is making the time to go.
It would be wonderful to have a spa in your own home so you could spoil yourself and relax to the max whenever you wanted. There is a way to pull this off by transforming your bathroom into a spa so you can get most of the experience of going to a spa at home. In this article, we will go over several tips to help you pull off using your home bathroom for a day spa experience.
Create an Ambiance
One of the nicest things about going to a spa is the atmosphere. They have perfected things to feel as relaxing as possible as soon as you walk in. This is easily the most important aspect of what a spa is all about and where you should first focus your efforts. If all you can do is recreate the atmosphere of the spa then you are already most of the way there.
The first thing to get right is the lighting. You should try to make sure that you have very soft and atmospheric lighting. The right lighting will immediately put you in a relaxed mood. Think about getting as many candles into the bathroom as possible and use them for the principal lighting.
Using candles kills two birds with one stone since you can also use them to create a sort of aromatherapy. The best-smelling candles will provide the light and come in a variety of scents with many of them perfectly suited for relaxation.
Think about some artwork that you can hang on the walls to set the mood as well. Scenes from nature and watercolors work really well for this. You should also try to bring some natural elements like wood and stone into the bathroom for decorating. Natural elements will also add to the mood since nature is great for mental well-being.
Upgrade Your Shower
A regular shower will not feel very luxurious if you are trying to make it like a spa. However, there are many types that you can change your current shower for that will have you feeling like it is a five-star resort. For instance, even just swapping out the shower head for a rainfall type will have a big impact since it feels better than a regular one. You can also go all out and get the kind that has water jets in the wall so you can have a massage effect all over your body.
Some new showers also have the capability to turn into a steam room since they contain a heating element that heats the water to the boiling point and then emits steam. Add a seat to the shower and you can feel like you are in a Turkish bath.
Add Accessories
The rest of the experience can be rounded out with accessories in the bathroom that take it to another level. For instance, you can swap out your regular toilet and get a smart version.
This is a toilet with a lot of extras such as a built-in bidet that can clean you without needing to use your hands. You can sit on a warm seat, use warm water to wash off, and even have a scented flush to really feel like you are spoiling yourself.
If you have the space then you can even set up a massage table. If your partner is up to it then they can give you a massage there and you can jump right into the shower after washing the massage oil off.
Set Up a Skin Care Station
One of the best things about a spa experience is how your skin feels and looks afterward. You can set up a section of the bathroom with a bench or chair with a mirror in front that can be used as a skin care station.
Have a counter with all of your favorite products that you can use to moisturize and tighten the skin. This is a good spot to put on a face mask to remove a lot of the impurities from your skin before you take a luxurious shower.
