Below we’ve gathered our favorite at-home spa ideas to help you turn an outdated bathroom into a haven of tranquility.

Tips for Creating Your Home Spa

Ready to turn your bathroom into the ultimate resort getaway? Let’s dive in!

Tip 1: Choose Your Spa Tile

Choosing the right tile material before any renovation begins should always take precedence. We recommend selecting tiles with a soothing color palette and a natural, calming texture.

Options might include:

• Soft blues
• Greens
• Neutrals

These colors are known to promote a sense of calm and relaxation. 

Considerations for Spa Tile

Looking to add some visual interest in your at-home spa? 

• Choose a bold pattern or unique texture for a feature wall or shower area to create a stunning centerpiece.
• Alternatively, you can opt for a mosaic design to create a unique focal point instead. Mosaic tile uses small tiles to create intricate patterns or images, which you can install on the floor, walls, or as a decorative accent in the shower. 

Whatever you choose, a focal point will add a touch of luxury and make your at-home spa feel truly special.

In contrast, if you want to bring a hint of nature indoors, you can do so with the right tile. Consider selecting tiles with a natural, calming texture, such as stone or wood-look tiles. These tile designs can further enhance the spa-like atmosphere and create a connection to nature. 

Tip 2: Consider Scents and lighting

If you want to experience the sensation of stepping out of your home and into a 5-star resort, you’ll need to focus on scents and lighting. 

• Choose calming scents such as lavender, eucalyptus, or chamomile to create a soothing ambiance. 
• You can also use scented candles, essential oil diffusers, or even bath salts with fragrance. 

In terms of lighting, opt for soft, warm lights instead of bright overhead lights. Additionally, use candles or dimmable lights to create a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. 

Tip 3: Invest in Plush Towels and Bathrobes

Though subtle, these luxurious items will add a touch of elegance to your space and provide comfort and relaxation. 

• Look for towels made from high-quality materials, such as Egyptian cotton or bamboo, which are known for their softness and absorbency. 
• Opt for plush and cozy bathrobes to wrap yourself in after a relaxing bath or shower. 

Other Cozy Considerations

To create a genuinely relaxing at-home spa, include comfortable features to enhance your overall experience. One way to do this is by adding a cozy seating area to relax and unwind before or after your DIY spa treatments. 

You may decide to invest in a comfortable armchair or a plush chaise lounge where you can read a book or simply enjoy some quiet time.

Tip 4: Incorporate soothing music or nature sounds

Incorporating calming sounds into your bathroom can help you unwind as you soak in the tub or enjoy a hot shower. Consider investing in a waterproof Bluetooth speaker to play your favorite relaxing tunes or nature sounds while you indulge in your at-home spa experience. 

You can also find playlists specifically designed for relaxation and stress relief on music streaming platforms, like Pandora and Spotify. 

Tip 5: Bring in Nature

Choose plants that thrive in humid environments, such as 

• Ferns
• Orchids
• Peace lilies

These plants add a pop of greenery and help purify the air to create a healthier breathing environment. If you don’t have a green thumb, opt for low-maintenance or artificial plants that still provide aesthetic benefits.

Additionally, consider placing a vase of fresh flowers on your bathroom countertop or near the bathtub. The vibrant colors and pleasant scents will enhance the ambiance and make you feel like you’re genuinely in a spa-like setting.
