With the approaching holidays and busy schedules, all you may want is a little time to relax. Instead of booking a far-away vacation, why not renovate your bathroom to create a calming retreat right in your own home?
Whether you choose an all-out remodel or a select few updates, you can turn your bathroom into a light-filled, airy space that rests the senses and revitalizes your energy.
It’s also a wise move value-wise, as those who opt for midrange bathroom remodels see an average of 80% of their cost recouped, according to the Journal of Light Construction.
Need some ideas? Consider these spa-inspired upgrades to transform your bathroom from drab to luxurious.
Luxury Fixtures
Water is a bathroom essential, but swapping out fixtures elevates the experience. Rainfall showerheads provide an oversized yet gentle water flow, while waterfall sink or bathtub faucets look beautiful and contribute to the overall calm. Modern, efficient fixtures also work to reduce water waste.
Sauna or Steam Room
Skip the public sauna and create a health-centered space catered to your specific needs. A sauna generates a dry heat by heating the air or using infrared light, while a steam room provides humidity from heated water. Both are used for potential health benefits, reducing stress, and improving relaxation.
Spacious Layout
An expansive bathroom layout or roomy shower area ensures you won’t feel closed in and can move around with ease. A functional layout also provides ample storage options so you can keep necessities, like fluffy towels, close by where you need them.
Spa-Inspired Lighting
Depending on your space, increase the natural light (skylights, anyone?) to brighten up the room and embrace the spa atmosphere. Or, consider adding ambient lighting in the shower or improve task lighting by the vanity. The use of glass and strategic mirror placement works to light up the space, too.
Contemporary Cabinetry
Renovate bathroom cabinets using natural materials to capture the spa aesthetic. Custom cabinetry opens up a range of design options, enabling you to create your perfect space. Consider tall cabinets in neutral tones to hang robes and folded towels, or combine a vanity with a seating space for a comfortable place to apply spa-worthy skin treatments.
Heated Floors
Banish frigid toes and instead step out of the shower onto a warm, heated floor. Energy-efficient radiant heat is a great choice for the bathroom, eliminating the need for other heat sources. Programmable options allow you to set a schedule and temperature preferences, creating a spa-like feel to your home.
