A spa bathroom is the picture of luxury and relaxation. The bathroom is designed for comfort and is typically characterized by calming colors, high windows, naturally occurring materials, soft lighting, and luxurious bathing features.
Spa bathrooms are mostly found in luxury hotels, resorts, wellness centers, spas, fitness centers, and private luxurious homes.
However, spa baths are not exclusive to the select few who can stay in the listed establishments or afford luxurious homes. You can create a spa bathroom at home, somewhere you can lie back and relax after a strenuous day at work.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to create a spa bathroom at home using window films.
1. Install Window Films on Your Windows
Regular-sized bathrooms are not big enough for spa bathrooms, you may have to choose a bigger room in the house. The room should preferably have large windows to let in natural light.
Natural light creates a relaxing ambiance that will help you relax during the day. High windows are preferred for spa bathrooms as they also allow privacy. It will be difficult for a peeping Tom to peep at you while you enjoy a relaxing bath.
However, some persistent creeps might try to find a ladder to peep at you. Additionally, when you live near apartment flats or highrises, some occupants might have an obstructed view into your spa bathroom.
Therefore, it is preferable to cover the windows with a window film. The following are the functions of window films in your spa bathroom.
● Privacy
Window films are designed to prevent people on the outside from seeing inside your building. Place these on the windows of the room you wish to convert and you can have some privacy while taking a bath. Additionally, they still let natural light in so you can enjoy it without worrying about your privacy.
● Decoration
Window films come in many different designs and patterns. You can choose the one that fits your style and install it in the room you have picked to be a spa bathroom. The window film will help improve the overall appearance of the bathroom.
● Protection
Window films also block harmful UV rays. Natural sunlight contains harmful UV rays that may cause sunburns accelerate aging, and cause skin cancer. The window film installed on your bathroom window will protect you from the UV rays when you take a relaxing bath during the day.
Therefore, install window films on the high windows in the room you have decided to convert to a spa bathroom. The window film will give you privacy, enhance the appearance of your bathroom, and protect you from harmful UV rays.
2. Paint the Room in Calming Colors
Spa bathrooms are designed for comfort and relaxation. To enable facilitate relaxation, paint the room in calming colors. There is a variety of colors you can choose from including blue, green, lavender, beige, gray, and others.
Pick a color that matches your taste and preferences. After settling on a color head to the general store and buy the paint. The size of the room should dictate the amount of paint you buy.
Mix the paint according to the manufacturer’s instructions, paint the room with a brush or roller, and leave it to dry.
3. Get Bathroom Furniture and Accessories Sourced From Natural Materials
Buy furniture made from wood. The shelves you will use to store towels and other stuff should preferably be made from natural wood. The finishing on the shelves should be waterproof to minimize the risk of rot and decay.
Natural wood such as walnut will add to the calming effect you wish to achieve. Wood is also durable and you will not have to worry about replacement for a long while.
Additionally, you can add stone finishes to your bathroom countertops. Natural stone is common in spas as it helps build the ideal environment for relaxation. Having a sink countertop finish will recreate the spa look and give your bathroom a luxurious feel.
4. Install Quality Lighting Fixtures
Purchase quality lighting fixtures for the room. Good lighting creates a calming atmosphere adding to the overall spa- experience. Additionally, your bathroom will have accessories such as a bathtub and without proper lighting, you might run into one of them and injure yourself.
Therefore, to avoid the proverbial ‘I slipped and fell in the bathroom” get quality lighting for your
spa bathroom. Good lighting also accentuates the wood furniture and stone countertop finishing of the bathroom and adds to its overall visual appeal.
If you can afford it, go a notch higher and get light fixtures whose brightness can be adjusted. You can then adjust the brightness according to your mood. For example, if you are tired and want a brief nap you can dim the lights.
5. Get Modern Bathroom Accessories
The final step in creating your spa bathroom is acquiring modern bathroom fixtures. Get a modern bathtub that is larger than the average-sized bathroom tub. The larger size facilitates your full relaxation when you use the tub. Get a soaking tub that allows you to immerse fully in the water and relax.
Position the tub near a window so that you can soak in the sunlight when bathing during the day or stare at the stars at night. Additionally, get a modern showerhead that is typically used in luxury bathrooms. Go for a rainfall showerhead if you can afford it to experience a relaxing shower experience.
Quality towels and bathrobes, soap dispensers, luxurious soaps, and shower gels are the final pieces of creating your spa-like bathroom.
