Your bathroom is the space where you get ready and start pampering yourself. As much as bathrooms are functional spaces that have been used in a very practical way, we are seeing bathrooms being turned into sanctuaries.
The bathroom is increasingly becoming a zone of luxury and relaxation – a soothing sanctuary in which to escape the stresses of a long day. Here are some tips to turn your bathroom into an oasis in your own home.
Try these 4 steps to create an indulgent sanctuary that you’ll never want to leave
Lighting
An abundance of natural light in the room is a fantastic way to connect your bathroom with the outdoors. Utilising mirrors, large windows, or even a skylight to help lighten your bathroom making it feel more spacious. For an after-dark experience, add some ambient lighting to set the mood. Wall sconces, chandeliers, and even candelabras are becoming popular. Dimmer switches are a simple way to transform your bathroom from a functional, utilitarian space into a sensual, serene oasis.
Adding Greenery
Subtle touches of greenery are a great way to add natural tones. Plants are brilliant additions as they add the natural plant aromas spread through the steam from the bath or shower to add to the relaxing mood. Ferns and small pot plants are popular choices, but if you have enough space consider putting in a small tree, a sapling, or a bonsai. Cacti are another great option – house them in gorgeous rustic ceramics for a desert oasis effect.
Indulgent pieces
Adding some indulgent pieces and focusing on tranquility by incorporating water elements such as a free-standing bath and luxurious rain showers, perfect for washing away all those cares at the end of a hard day. Adding elegant tapware can also help complement those indulgent pieces.
Soft touches
Adding soft and warm touches to your bathroom pays dividends when it comes to feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Choosing fabrics to complement or contrast the feel of your bathroom such as offsetting a tiled area by adding a fluffy bathroom mat are great touches to add. Investing in luxury towels might also be a great investment as it’s the final touch to a relaxing bath.
