Dreaming of disappearing to a gorgeous, relaxing retreat? Why not create a spa-style bathroom in your home? You only have to step into a spa environment to feel the stresses of life ebb away. Designing your own haven will give you a place to escape and unwind each and every day.

If you crave a place to wind down and get away, replicating your visit to a space can be quite easily achieved. Here is all you need to transform your bathroom into a boutique-style spa:

COLOUR

The key to this look is to create a calm and relaxing atmosphere by using a light colour palette and natural, tactile materials to create a harmonious feeling. White is the preferred choice but why not try something a little different? Soft cocoa and coffee colours create a cosy atmosphere, whilst a hint of pale blues and greens offers a contemporary twist.

LAYOUT

A big bathroom will undoubtedly have a greater air of luxury but nothing is stopping you from creating a smaller spa-style bathroom with the right sanitary ware and décor. If you want to change the layout of your bathroom to fit a freestanding bath under a window or in the centre of the room, get a qualified plumber to tell you if your plans are workable.

FITTINGS

One of the most important fittings to include in your spa bathroom is a high-quality, luxury roll top bath. As well as oozing spa-style, it creates a stunning focal point. Another option, if layout persists, is a sunken bath that you can slide into after a hectic day. You should keep the theme consistent by choosing sleek and stylish taps, shower-heads and handles.

FURNITURE

It’s understandable that creating a space of tranquility and calmness in a domestic environment is sometimes difficult. If you keep your cleaning products and everyday items hidden away, this will keep the minimalistic design without losing its purpose. Bathrooms and More Store has a selection of Stone and Oak Top Units that vary in size and function. The freestanding basins and natural wood structure enhance the luxury spa feel.

FINISHING TOUCHES

To create a true comfort zone, you should surround yourself with thick fluffy towels, quality toiletries, scented candles and opulent accessories but remember less is more. And a spa trip wouldn’t be complete without a luxurious bath robe to step in and out of the bathroom in. Go on treat yourself!
