Everybody loves an opportunity to relax – there’s no better feeling than lying by a pool all day, receiving beauty treatments and having a dip in the hydrotherapy pool. However, a day at the spa usually ends up being quite a pricey activity – so why not save the pennies on a day out by creating a beautiful, tranquil retreat in your very own bathroom? Grab your book, light a candle and run that bubble bath – we’re about to give you our top tips for creating your own personal spa at home!

tidy space, tidy mind

Due to its frequent use, the bathroom can often end up cluttered and untidy – however, to keep it as a place to relax and unwind, it should be kept neat and organised. No matter how small or awkward your bathroom is, there is no excuse for not keeping it beautiful! Declutter your bathtub of plastic bottles and organise your cupboards. Open shelving is a great way to inject some personality, and you can add in some fancy soaps and diffuser reeds to create that desirable spa environment.


Decorative displays

Consider other creative ways to display (or hide) your items, such as decorative bowls or trays that might otherwise be cluttered around the sink. You can also use apothecary jars to contain cotton pads, ear buds and so on, and display pretty perfume bottles within a shabby chic rack.


colour matters

Use a combination of subtle pastel shades and neutral white to create your perfect spa bathroom, and express a sense of relaxation through soft colour, textures and patterns, along with tasteful accessorising.


all in the details

A little goes a long way in the bathroom, and smaller details can often make a big impact. Gold, platinum, brass and copper are being included into spa environments as metallic accents and design highlights, while black is being used on its own, but also to create a contrast to richer tones. Consider using brushed brass handles, taps and accessories for a simple way to make your bathroom instantly feel more luxe and lovely.

relax and unwind

Add a bath caddy into the mix and, voila, you can bring all your favourite things to the bathroom with you! We’re thinking a scented candle, a facemask, your new book – and maybe a small glass of wine? This simple addition makes a big impression and comes in a variety of styles – from reclaimed wood to plastic – so you’ll never be stuck finding one to suit your style.

greenery is great

Plants have a special way of making a bathroom feel more inviting and sophisticated. Consider succulents or air plants for a low maintenance, high style solution. Light some candles to increase the ambience and help you de-stress after a long day.

the final touches

Think about the finishing details that really can make a big difference. Fresh, fluffy towels rolled up for effect, loo roll folded at the corners and a bouquet of fresh flowers can seem extravagant, but make for the perfect spa experience.
