Taking breaks is essential to relieving stress and avoiding burnout. Dedicating a few moments of the day to relax can improve your mood, mental health and overall well-being. Your bathroom can be the perfect place to ease your mind and body.
Make every day a spa day by incorporating these upgrades into your bathroom remodel.
Remodeling Tips for a Spa-Like Bathroom
Create a Soothing Color Palette
Airy and light colors can help you set up a relaxing atmosphere. Be sure soft hues dominate your space, and avoid using very bright or bold colors. For a spa-like feel, combine warm neutrals with colors reminiscent of nature, such as khaki, taupe, stone gray and seafoam green.
Add Natural Elements
Indoor plants can liven up any part of your home, from your kitchen and living room to bedrooms and bathrooms. Studies show that adding greens to your space can boost your mood, reduce anxiety and help lower stress levels. You can place potted plants on your bathroom countertops or hang them on the wall or ceiling.
Replace Outdated Fixtures
Another easy way to elevate your bathing experience is to replace old fixtures. Consider including a rain showerhead or a steam shower in your bathroom renovation. A soaking tub, touchless faucets and heated towel racks are also excellent upgrades.
Ways to Make Your Baths More Relaxing
Disconnect From Technology
Are you usually on your phone, tablet or computer? Taking a break from digital devices will allow you to be more present. Excessive screen time is associated with higher anxiety and depression levels. Instead of scrolling through social media, you can read while soaking in the tub to soothe your mind and body.
Set the Atmosphere
You can effortlessly create a serene environment by lighting up a couple of candles in your bathroom and dimming or turning off the overhead lights. Using essential oils in your bath will do more than bring a delightful aroma to your space. It can relieve stress, sore muscles and headaches too. Some oils, like lavender, can help you sleep better.
