The increasing importance of self-care and wellness has expanded into the world of interiors and has created a luxurious bathroom trend that we are more than delighted to get on board with. The space that we once dedicated to a quick shower or shave is now being transformed into a sanctuary to unwind the mind, pamper the body, and retreat from busy daily life. The ‘Spathroom’ brings the look, feel, and ambiance of a spa to your very own bathroom.
Here are 5 tips for creating your very own Spathroom:
1. Natural Materials
The restorative atmosphere associated with spas and wellness spaces commonly comes from their connection to nature. This can be incorporated into your Spathroom through natural materials like stone and wood. There are many ways to incorporate these materials into your bathroom without the cost or upkeep associated with the real thing. Marble effect, stone effect, and wood effect tiles offer the look and feel of these natural materials whilst also being durable, waterproof, and easy to maintain.
2. Spa-like Tubs & Showers
No Spathroom is complete without the perfect bath and/or shower. If you have the space and budget, a freestanding bath is the perfect option; offering a luxurious statement piece that provides an abundance of space to soak your worries away. For those with limited space, a double end bath is a great choice with the ability to lie back and unwind without taps getting in the way.
For those who rather a relaxing shower, a rainfall shower is a must for your Spathroom. Inspired by nature, these showers provide soothing sounds, immersive water experiences, and spa-like sensations that calm the senses; the perfect way to unwind after a long day.
3. Calming Colours
Neutral palettes evoke a sense of calmness which makes them the perfect choice for your spathroom. Off whites and beiges are commonly used in spas to soothe the body and mind.
For those looking for a pop of colour, muted shades and pastels are the perfect choice. Further dimensions can be added with nature inspired tiles and prints including soft colours, florals, and botanical prints.
4. Smart Storage
Keeping your Spathroom clutter free is an important consideration as fuss-free spaces allow us to relax and unwind easier. Adding recessed shelving, vanity units, mirror cabinets, and tall boys is a great option to store and hide your bathroom essentials while you unwind. Sufficient smart storage will allow you to enjoy a tidy bathroom that also has everything you need to hand.
5. The Finishing Touches
The spathroom is more than just a space, it is an experience. Add succulents to enhance air quality, and add fragrance to boost your mood. Fragrance is easily incorporated with diffusers, bath salts and body care. Choose products with essential oils like lavender, clary sage, orange, or sandalwood that offer benefits for the body and mind. Complete your self care with large fluffy towels and a bathrobe for the ultimate finishing touch.
