How To Create A Spa Bathroom At Home
We can all agree there’s nothing quite like an amazing spa day; the hushed surrounds, the balancing scent of restorative oils, your stresses melting away. With a few interior upgrades you can recreate this feeling (again and again) in the comfort of your own home. As masters of the ultimate bathing experience, we’re sharing our top spa bathroom ideas from expert-approved enhancements to effortless touch-ups. Don’t forget your ‘do not disturb’ sign.
1.Warm Up Your Colour Palette
A spa style bathroom starts with tone. ‘‘A grounding, nature-inspired colour palette will instantly let your shoulders relax’’, advises Charlotte Cropper, Colour Expert and Consultant at natural paint brand, Bauwerk Colour. This means creamy beiges, sandy neutrals and rich browns for soothing earthiness.
Instant upgrade: introduce these shades through a new bathmat, bathrobe and towels. For Charlotte, the ‘‘ultimate spa feel is all about cohesion.’’
2.Weave In Earthy Elements
Complement rustic hues with natural materials like stone, crystal, marble, wood and rattan. Like the warmer colour palette, these textures reconnect you to nature, making you feel calmer at the end of a screen-heavy day. A bowl of crystals emits something called ‘‘piezoelectricity’’, says Nolan Lewis from Architectural Digest. ‘‘When light passes through translucent gemstones, the rays scattered by them can be therapeutic.” A cluster of smoky quartz is perfect for a spa bathroom, Nolan tells us, as it helps absorb toxins and nurture recovery.
3.Pair Your Spa Ritual With Flora & Fauna
Match your fragranced ritual with a considered choice of flowers or plants to bring the outdoors in. Not only do they look beautiful, they also give us an emotional boost. We love a soft-to-touch bouquet of golden catkins, the perfect scene-setting blooms for opulent scents like Mesmerising Oudh Accord & Gold. Imagine you’re in spiced forest as the Bath & Shower Gel fills the room with a haze of smoky black tea, heady oudh and honeyed resins. Afterwards, seal in the fragrance and soften skin with the Body Lotion and Precious Body Oil, enriched with radiance-boosting moringa-oil.
4.Create Pockets Of Glow
Kindle a few light sources away from the eyeline and in nooks for a flattering, ensconced feeling. Our Scented Candles are housed in heritage, Mayfair ebony vessels to suit all interior designs, especially warmer colour palettes.
Charlotte’s tip: metallic accents and mirrors allow the light to bounce around and give the illusion of more space.
5.Finishing Touches That Make All The Difference
These easy additions are guaranteed to lend a spa-like feel. Try:
-
Placing your phone or books on a rustic milking stool or solid block of wood
-
Adding a bath caddy to hold more plants and a glass of hydrating cucumber water
-
Switching to glass bottles for a more refined feel (hint: our Body Oil and refillable Hand Wash bottles).
