Turning Your Bathroom Into a Spa

We’ve all been there, we’ve seen the commercials, we’ve seen the movies. You know, the ones with the masseuse by the poolside and the hot tubs in the bathroom and the perfect weekend getaway but let’s be serious, THEY COST TOOOOONS. Here are some surefire ways to turn any old bathroom into your own personal getaway!

• Install a vanity where you can sit and do your makeup and set up some incense and candles. It’ll give you a vintage feel while being very efficient as well. (If you happen to be doing a full bathroom remodeling in Los Angeles, you can call LA Build Corp for a free vanity this summer.)
• You don’t have to install something as expensive as a bathtub to enjoy a relaxing water treatment. Get some quality showerheads for your shower and you’ll love taking showers after a long hard day.
• If you already happen to have a bathtub add whirlpool attachments for a wonderful Jacuzzi feel for the perfect night to yourself.
• Natural stone flooring not only gives you a nice massage-y feeling when you walk on it, but it gives you a serene spa atmosphere too. It’s only about $10 per square foot.
• Install glass shower doors, they’re easier to clean and give a better overall atmosphere to your bathroom.
• Heated flooring is a fantastic way to spruce up any bathroom and make it feel so much more luxurious.
• Heated towel racks, only about $50, are a great way to keep cozy post-bath or shower. An even better thing to do is to heat some aromatherapy towels or blankets for maximum relaxation.
• Tub caddies keep everything you need within arms reach so you don’t have to struggle too much to get your tea or book while in the tub or shower.
• Dimmer switches to control lighting set the mood of the bathroom to a much more relaxing feel. They’re very versatile and inexpensive as well.
• Speakers! Nothing is better than having a facial in the bathtub and listening to great music at the same time.
• Set up a special basket for spa products like bath salts, aromatherapy candles/washcloths, eye masks, body masks, aromatherapy masks, body lotions, creams, oils, etc.  You can even store a bottle of your favorite wine nearby.
• Lastly for an even better shower, install a wooden or stone shower seat (fairly inexpensive) for a zen vibe and a way to relax while showering.

There you have it, just a few ways to ensure you have the perfect bathroom to relax in, and it won’t cost you a ton of money either! Make sure you do not do major bathroom remodeling without a general contractor because if you mess up plumbing or wreck a sink or wall by accident you’ll risk the safety of you and your home.
