Spa days are renowned for providing relief after a week of stress. However, spa packages often come with a hefty price tag and can consume time that you may not have to spare. Our solution? Transform your bathroom into a spa. Creating a spa-like bathroom is one of the ways you can put yourself first. There will be a few initial costs involved when creating a bathroom inspired by a spa but it is a cost-effective investment that will offer a lot of enjoyment and lift your mood significantly with every use.
In this guide, we will outline everything you should consider when creating a bathroom inspired by a spa.
Cleanliness, simplicity, and openness are all attributes that we associate with a spa bathroom. Clutter is not permitted. This doesn’t mean you will have to get rid of all of your products but instead store them wisely. Organising and storing products that you don’t need to use on a regular basis may seem like a mundane task but it will be worthwhile.
The right storage should enable you to store all of your items whilst adding to your décor in its own right. Remember that spas often emphasise the importance of nature by injecting into their design scheme. You can convey this through the finish of your furniture. Wooden effect furnishings will match the earthy or neutral colour schemes present in many spas.
In the past, Whirlpool baths were only associated with spas or homes of the rich and famous. There are many affordable whirlpool baths now such as the Phoenix Sicily Whirlpool Bath equipped with massaging jets to help relieve you of your tension or stress. These luxury baths can also include wellness systems and Chroma therapy systems (we talk about this in detail in our bathroom lighting guide) for an authentic spa experience at home.
Spas usually have the most advanced fixtures available so you feel like you experiencing something different to what you’re used to. However, there are now extensive ranges of modern bathroom products available to you that will help you to replicate a spa feeling. The Grohe Sensia Arena Shower Toilet is just one example of how advanced functionality can offer a whole new level of personal care in your home. This toilet is inspired by those used in Japan and features two self-cleaning sprays that you have complete control over as well as a warm dryer function.
Contemporary showers have thermostatic controls which give you better control of both temperature and water flow. The additions of body jets can also create a more massaging effect within your shower, you can find these features and more throughout the Insignia shower enclosure range.
Insignia Offset Steam Enclosure
This steam enclosure is equipped with all the mod-cons you would expect to see in a spa setting. This shower has various showering options and has a multi-function hand shower that is found on the large back panel. There are also 12 hydro massage jets, 6 in the column and 3 on each of the back panels. If you really want to unwind, you can take a seat on the comfortable stool which can be positioned to your liking.
Insignia Quadrant Steam Shower Enclosure
This shower enclosure has a built in wide angled monsoon shower and creates a calm ambience with the multi-coloured roof lighting. There are 7 different colours to choose from so you can choose something that is best for you. The steam generator encases the cabin in minutes so you can use the steam feature even when you’re short on time. Add to your shower experience further by infusing your steam with essential oils via the AMI system.
Insignia Offset Steam Shower Enclosure
This shower enclosure offers an abundance of features suitable for modern spas. The control panel allows you to utilise Bluetooth connectivity, which means you can listen to your own music within the cabin. The cabin also offers chromotherapy with seven coloured lights played on a loop to create a tranquil ambience. You have the option to fix the lighting on a specific colour too. The bath itself has whirlpool jets, meaning you can have a Jacuzzi style bath whenever you choose. This model also has 6 hydro-massage jets which are located in places designed to maximise comfort.
There are options available if you don’t want to change your bathroom fixtures completely. You can create the steam effect in a standard shower enclosure with help from the Insignia Pro DIY Steam Kit or the Insignia 9KW Steam Generator DIY Kit. You can also finalise your shower area with the Insignia Wood Effect Shower Seat. This seat has been built to the highest standards and allows you to shower in comfort at all times.
Sunshower Combi Corner Sun Tanning Shower Panel
Are you a fan of having a tan but hate going for spray tans that seem to fade before you get your money's worth? Then look no further than the Sunshower Sun Tanning Panel. This panel will provide the great health benefits of sunlight all year round. This soft heat helps to relax your blood vessels, muscles, and joints, as well as providing vital vitamin D. Sessions last for a maximum of ten minutes and can be terminated early. This panel has been specially designed to provide a full body tanning experience.
When trying to create a spa atmosphere you will want to steer away from lights that have harsh illumination. The addition of a dimmer switch can give you the option to alter your lighting so you can adjust it to be bright enough to illuminate your morning routine and dimmed to create a more relaxing aura during the evening.
There are some products you can’t tuck away into the back of your bathroom cupboards. Try pouring your soaps, shampoos, and lotions into their own set of cohesive containers. This is a very simple way to create a clean, organised look.
It is the smaller details that can make a big difference in a bathroom or spa. If you have a towel rail then chances are that your towel will be visible for some time. It is worth investing in some simple but attractive towels that do not clash with all the work you’ve put into your bathroom. When it comes to storing towels, look for open fronted storage units such as the Wood Finish Storage Unit that will allow you to grab your towels easily.
Try adding greenery throughout your space. Plants as they can help you to connect with nature, forget the Hustle and bustle of city life, and work to purify the air. We recommend plants such as orchids and fern that are suitable for bathrooms.
A few of our Insignia shower cabins will allow you to play music whilst you shower. But, what type of music should you be listening to? Find a peaceful soundtrack to aid relaxation. Classical music is a great choice.
Candles can perform a variety of uses in your bathroom including aromatherapy! Typically, the lighting you will need to use for tasks such as applying makeup and shaving or what is used to illuminate the whole space differs to what is used to help us unwind. Harsh lighting can be particularly counteractive if you are trying to get to sleep after bathing. The light omitted by candles is not strong enough leave you restless and will help you to relax.
Your bathroom can become your own little get-away. Every feature listed above can help you to transform a space equipped with everything you’ll ever need to relieve the stresses of the day. For more inspiration, visit our Pinterest profile.
