The bathroom is one room in a home we cannot live without. A well decorated bathroom has an element of elegance, softness and sophistication. Redecorating a bathroom with a spa theme can pay off right from the start. Bathrooms in new homes have hand-made Italian tiles, custom cabinetry, crystal light fixtures, floor and towel warmers, marble flooring and top of the line faucets.
If you are thinking about freshen-up or transforming your bathroom into your own personal sanctuary you’ll want to read the article on bathroom rejuvenation. Use the interior decorating advice below to give your bathroom the feel of tranquility and relaxation of a spa.
- Keep the bathroom clutter free. Organize cosmetics and only keep essential toiletries on countertop.
- Invest in plush white bathroom towels and a heated towel bar or better yet a floor-warming system.
- Use decorative accessories made of natural materials.
- Display botanical artwork to evoke a calm atmosphere.
- Color palettes of calming, warm neutral colors are the ideal color choices for spa bathroom design. Use shades of chocolate, tan and mocha. Don’t be afraid to paint the bathroom white and use any of the neutral paint colors as an accent wall. In a smaller bathroom, white gives the illusion of a large, open space. When using white, it’s best to blend various shades of white.
- Upgrade your light fixtures and use dimmers so that you can adjust the lighting level to reflect the mood.
- Use invigorating aromatherapy diffusers or candles. When using candles, make sure you do so safely and they are out of the way of anything flammable.
