To have a spa at your apartment, you should design your bathroom to be spa-like and complete all equipment you need. Even if you live in an apartment and not in a house, you still can have your own-created spa room in your apartment. The first thing to do before redecorating your bathroom is to consult the landlord to gain permission to avoid problems arising. To start a makeover for your bathroom, we have listed some ideas you can follow to make it feel like a spa.
- Choose a Natural Decor
To have the ambiance of a spa in your bathroom means that you should decorate it in a natural style. The colors you choose should make you feel at ease, like white, broken white, cream, soft blue, soft grey, beige, mint, or other neutral colors. The things you should consider are not only the paintings but also the decorations and equipment you put in the room. Choose decorations that are made from natural things, like wood, stone, or bamboo, and opt for spa equipment and bathing products that are cruelty-free and nontoxic to enhance sustainability. In addition, you can place some plants in the bathroom to create a natural environment, plus plants are believed can reduce stress as well, so you can benefit from them. Place plants that are easy to maintain and can endure in a humid and low-light room like a bathroom. The plants you can choose, for instance, aloe vera, bamboo, begonia, Chinese evergreen, dracaena, or other plants. You can put the plants in a natural stone-like or wood planter or a vase and put them on the corner, countertop, or ledges, or hang them on the ceilings, or you can incorporate vines that trail down from shelves. Those lush greenery can create tranquillity and calmness in your bathroom, so you can feel relaxed during the spa. The key is to create the decorations in the bathroom as natural as possible to enjoy a spa-like room right in your apartment.
- Incorporate Calming Scents
It is necessary to have a good mood when you do a spa, and it can be created through the scents you smell in the room. Calming and relaxing scents you pick for the bathroom can soothe the senses and promote well-being, so you will feel refreshed and energized after the spa. Incorporate some soothing scents or scented candles in your bathroom, to name a few, lavenders, mint, eucalyptus, ocean breeze, tea tree, or vanilla, a little goes a long way. Good aromatherapy should be smelled across the room once you walk into the bathroom to feel the spa ambiance. To create more aroma, you should use calming scents for your bathing products, like soaps, scrubs, and lotions, so that after the spa, you will feel good and smell nice. Another possibility to spread the aroma is by hanging a tied bundle of eucalyptus to the showerhead, and as a result, the steam will carry the aroma throughout the bathroom meanwhile it can also clear the sinus in your nose. If you do these tips guarantee that you can turn your bathroom into a little calming oasis you will love the most.
- Place Some New Toiletries
Some cluttered unused or expired products in your bathroom can be a big
turnoff if you want to create a spa-like ambiance. You should declutter some products that no longer be used and place other things in your bathroom on shelves, cabinets, drawers, or baskets. It is nicer to look if you put some stocks of toiletries and other things you do not use daily in closed cabinets or containers, so you can get the feeling of a clean and fresh home spa room. Use counter spaces, trays, or other open containers to put a few of your daily essentials, and neatly tuck everything else away. Go for calming scented body products and place them within your reach in your vanity area so that you can apply them directly after you finished the spa. This part is important to achieve an indulging spa where you do not have to step out of your apartment, nice, isn’t it?
- Set up a Warm Mood
A warm ambiance is necessary for creating a spa-like bathroom to help you unwind and relaxed. Besides scented candles, you can choose dimmed lights for your bathroom. Of course, you need a bright light when you shave and do other beauty regimens but opt for warmer lights to make you calm while soaking in the bathtub. You can also install a surround speaker on the ceiling or put a portable speaker in the bathroom to play relaxing or instrumental music during the spa. Music can help you relax and destress in your bathroom. Another idea you can do is by placing a cedar or teak or bamboo bath mat. Placing a bath mat made of cedar or teak or bamboo on your bathroom tiles will keep away the cold during or after a shower, in addition, this also can create a warm atmosphere in the bathroom.
