Make Your Bathroom Feel Like a Spa

Our Top Zen Tips & Products

When you think of a spa, words like tranquil, serene, pampering, and relaxing come to mind. But what about when you think about your bathroom? If you would only use a few — or none — of those words to describe your bathroom’s current state, let me be the first to tell you that it doesn’t have to be this way.

No matter the size, any bathroom can be made to feel like a spa — it all comes down to setting the right mood and finding the right products to get it there. Below, we’ve outlined our top tips and items to breathe new life into your space and turn even the most basic bathroom trip into a spa-like experience. 

When it comes to making your bathroom feel more welcoming, just keep your senses in mind. Think about it: every spa greets you with a fresh aroma, tranquil sounds, and ultra-soothing textures. When you keep in mind smell, sound, touch, and sight, success is guaranteed.

Mood lighting

Start your bathroom-to-spa transformation by adding some mood lighting to your space. The key to achieving a spa-like atmosphere is to go for dim, non-overhead fixtures that create a mellow vibe. These alabaster tube sconces cast a cozy warm glow and would be perfect over the bathtub.

For a less permanent lighting solution, display some flameless candles in various sizes around the bathtub and sink to give that flickering mood lighting without the fire hazard. And a himalayan salt lamp casts a beautiful pink glow and has the added bonus of numerous health benefits
