Super Simple Ways You Can Make Your Bathroom Feel Like a Spa

There’s no better feeling than ending the day with a hot bath and a glass of wine. For many people, their bathroom is their space to relax and recenter themselves. 

Is your bathroom your own personal spa? It should be. 

Taking a bath has been scientifically proven to not only reduce anxiety and help you relax, but it also teaches your body to breathe easier. Turning your bathroom into a spa-inspired room can be incredibly beneficial for your health, and it’ll turn it into a much more aesthetically pleasing space in the home. 

The team here at Ponce Design Build has put together some quick tips to  help you jumpstart your project of transforming your bathroom into a cozy little bathhouse.

Bring in plants.

Bring in plants.

Greenery is a common feature in many bathhouses. Not only does it provide a pleasant view, but it also improves the air quality. Plus, it’s a good environment for plants. 

But it’s important to know what kind of plant to get for your bathroom, as not all plants are built for sitting in smaller spaces where high humidity is frequent. We recommend an asparagus fern, a bamboo plant, or a begonia. You can check out more plant ideas here.

Change your shower curtain.

The shower curtain is one of the first things you see when you walk into your bathroom, so it’s a real mood setter, and the focal point. We recommend a nice canvas shower curtain, because they look and feel substantial, and bring a calming presence to the space. 

To accompany the shower curtain, change out your bath mat and go with a mosaic design and light, earthy tones. This is an inexpensive way to establish the mood and set the tone for what you want to do with the rest of the space. 

Here are some quality shower curtain options for you to see.

You can relax and recharge when you take a shower, too. 

Hang some eucalyptus from the shower head to get a hint of its warm, calming scent. Step up your shampoo game with naturally made shampoo and conditioner. You can also place a compact stool right outside your bathtub to place a brush and your towel on for convenience and a feature that compliments the spa aesthetic.

Get a music speaker

Music sets the mood for any situation, especially when you’re bathing. Whether you’re taking a shower in the morning or drawing a bath at night after a long day, a music speaker outside of your bathtub, accompanied with some soothing music or nature sounds, can significantly improve your relaxation experience. 

If you’re looking for something to play, we recommend Spotify’s nature sounds playlists. They have options such as waterscapes, bird sounds, thunderstorms and much more. 

Here are 5 more soothing playlists for you check out.
