Remodeling Ideas For a Relaxing, Spa-Like Bathroom

For some, the pandemic can increase anxiety and aggravate mental health symptoms. To combat that, make your home as relaxing as possible. One possibility is to turn your bathroom into a serene, spa-like environment.

Bring the spa home. Remodel your bathroom, and add subtle touches to make it the perfect, calming retreat. Here are some ideas to get you started.

Choose Rustic Woods and Earth Tones

Start by choosing the perfect backdrop for your bathroom. Earth tones promote relaxation and calmness and complement most accents and decorations. "Earth tones, in their most basic sense, are colors that are found in nature. Think: rust, marigold, deep navy, burnt sienna brown, terracotta, sage, turmeric, and the Pantone 2020 color of the year, classic blue," Modsy writes. In plainest terms, they include brown, taupe, gray, green, cream, gray, and stone colors. Because these shades and hues are commonly found in nature, they are familiar to us and we are hardwired to find them comforting.

To incorporate earth tones into your bathroom, paint the walls earth tones and/or choose furnishings with these colors in mind. For example, rustic wood bathroom vanities, blue-gray vanities, and navy blue vanities, like James Martin vanities, are luxurious, sophisticated, and add an air of serenity and calm to the room. James Martin vanities are high-quality. They come in a number of different colors, finishes, and timeless designs. You can choose between double vanities and single vanities to find the option that best fits your home. Head into a bathroom cabinet store to find vanities, linen towers, sinks, and mirrors that help you create your spa theme.

Get Inspired By Nature

Complement earth tone James Martin vanities with natural elements, like sunlight, plants, stone fixtures, and rock gardens. Think of what you might see at a spa, and go from there. Introduce more sunlight into the room with light-filtering curtains or decorative window film. Place bamboo plants, small palm trees, or oversized planters at intervals around the room. Add rock gardens, stone fixtures, or stone-inspired features for a tranquil atmosphere.

Go Oversized

Recreate the luxury of the spa with an oversized soaking tub or by installing a large, rainfall shower head on the ceiling. Experience all the extravagance of the spa with a standalone soaking tub. Light candles, warm up a towel, play soothing music, and invest in a bath tray or caddy to hold a book, hand towel, and beverage of your choosing.

A rainfall shower head looks elegant -- and serves some practical purposes as well. Unlike regular shower heads, a rainfall shower head will completely cover you as you rinse away your worries after a long day. That means you can avoid feeling cold or awkward as you shower with just part of your body in the water's stream. These shower heads provide full-coverage, comfort, and even pressure.

Add Luxurious Touches

Finally, pair your James Martin vanities and oversized soaking tub with some luxurious finishing touches. Tailor these finishing touches to your tastes. Add a beautiful chandelier, artwork, dimmable lighting, or thin, sheer curtains around the tub for additional privacy and an opulent look.
