Five Ways to Turn your Master Bathroom into a Luxurious Spa Oasis

Need tips for creating a spa-inspired bathroom in your home? Here are some easy but impactful ways you can turn your master bathroom into a luxurious spa oasis. 

Who doesn’t want a spa in their house? It’s easier than you think to turn your master bathroom into a luxurious spa oasis. With the right tools, products and a healthy dose of imagination you can transform your space into a lush sanctuary.

Here are five ways to upgrade your bathroom:

Aromatherapy

All spas have a distinct relaxing smell whether it’s from candles, incense or aroma diffusers. Next time you visit your favourite spa, investigate what scents they use. You can either replicate their aroma or create a signature scent. We recommend soothing oils like lavender, chamomile or sandalwood.

Plants

Plants are great to have around. Not only because they look beautiful, but they also are known to boost moods, filter toxins out of the air and produce oxygen. There are quite a few plant species from the tropics that thrive in low light and warm humid environments like a bathroom. Here are some plants that will survive without constant sunlight and make the space feel like a spa:

• Snake plants
• Philodendron
• Orchid
• Peace lily
• Pothos

Bathroom Textiles

Ultra-plush bathrobes, memory foam bathmats and thick Turkish towels are a necessary addition to any home spa. Invest in some luxurious textiles to truly pamper yourself. There’s nothing better than stepping out of a warm shower onto a thick bathmat, drying off with a nice towel then wrapping yourself up in a soft robe. This extra comfort is even better in the colder months.

Treatments

Of course, no spa would be complete without the products and tools. A lot of the services available at spas require a certain level of infrastructure and expertise to utilize. However, there are a lot of products you can bring home. From the basics like a jade roller for facial massages and body oils for out of the shower to the more advanced like microdermabrasion, skin tightening and hair removal devices. The range of technology for at-home spa treatments is incredible. You’ll likely be able to find a pared down version of your favourite service.

Lighting

Lighting is the final way to turn your master bathroom into a luxurious spa oasis. Candles are a fantastic way to provide aromatherapy and create a special ambience. Additionally, take a cue from professional beauticians and use ring lights or any other bright lights surrounding the mirror to help you see what you’re doing.

Now you have three of the five senses associated with an actual spa. You’ve mimicked the look with lighting and plants, the feeling with the robes, devices and products and the scent with the essential oils and candles. For the final two senses, brew a batch of mint tea or mix up some cucumber water then play some calming background music to recreate the entire spa experience!
