Spas are known for luxury and pampering. You go in stressed out and emerge rejuvenated.  It’s possible to get an amazing bathroom spa that makes you feel as good as it looks.  The Orange County bathroom designers at Inspired Remodels hope these 7 tips inspire you.

Minimalist Style

All spas begin with a clean look.  Less is more should be your mantra. Minimalist style is not cold and industrial. When done properly it creates a serene ambiance and feel. For a restful aura begin with a minimalist style.

Natural Palette

Spas get their inspiration from nature.  Let nature-inspired colors and materials be the basis of your design. You will get an organic look and a calming feel if you rely on:  beige, light brown, light green, and grey.  Use stone, wood, and tile materials.

Lighting

Don’t forget that your perfect spa bathroom also needs to be a place to get dressed and ready to tackle the day each morning.  The lighting that you need for make-up and shaving isn’t the same lighting you want for a spa experience.  Great bathroom designers know that the answer is dimmer controlled lights and recessed lights.  Use lighting that can be controlled independently.

Crush the Clutter

Carry the minimalist style through to smaller elements. Clear all the clutter from the design.  Clutter causes stress. Ever notice that spas keep all supplies stored until they are needed?  Inspired Remodels are full service bathroom designers and can incorporate custom cabinets to organize and store toiletries. If your bathroom doesn’t have much storage, use decorative storage containers. They will give them an artistic look.

Upgrade the Tub or Shower

Switch your conventional tub for a soaking tub.  Soaking tubs are smaller but deeper than traditional “bathing” bath tubs. These tubs are designed to soak away stress. Don’t want to wait for a tub to fill?  Upgrade your conventional shower to a steam shower with bench.  Just turn on the steam and plop down for 15 to 20 minutes of relaxing steam.  When you’re done just turn on the regular shower and rinse off.  You’ll swear you just went to the spa.  swap regular tub for a soaking tub – smaller but deeper.

Upgrade the Shower Head

Upgrade your shower head for a spa experience.  Pick from a large rain shower head or a massaging shower head.  Either will wash away stress as well as grime.  If you are installing a new shower, consider adding multiple shower heads and jets that can be controlled independently for a real shower massage experience.

Add Sound

For the ultimate in spa experience add mood setting sound.  Just use waterproof Bluetooth speakers designed for swimming pool use and then create a calming playlist for spa use only.  Include instrumental music and sounds from nature such as chirping birds and running water to create a calming experience.
