How to spa-up your bathroom

The bathroom is such an important room in a home, in my opinion, even though it may be one of the smallest room. It is the one place most of us can get some privacy, a place where one can relax.

Tips on how you can spa-up your bathroom
1) De-clutter your bathroom
2) Soften the lighting
3) Go green
4) Use unique tiles or wall colors
5) Delight your sense of smell
6) Calming visuals and tunes
7) Add lots of rolled clean towels around (love their presence in my bathroom)

I was browsing in the net and found some pictures which are so inspiring. Of course, some of those are bathrooms with plenty of space, but there's no stopping us from turning our little bathrooms into a little haven.

See how lightings can really create that soft & lovely spa atmosphere.

I love adding potted plants in the bathroom, it creates that nature feeling and it soothes the eye. It will also boost up the oxygen supply to the room and helps me to feel calm.

Hate having plants in the bathroom? How about painting it green instead?

Using unique tiles or paint color on the wall or the floor helps in a thousand ways than one. Having done that, you can basically keep the bathroom simple and minimal.

Fill the room with aromatherapy essential oils. Scented candles around the bathroom or bathtub works just as well. Soft scents such as lavender, ylang ylang or peppermint does wonders to the mind.

Of course, the ones below are bathrooms that we can only dream of, but.. no harm dreaming & feasting our eyes.. :-D

If your bathroom doesn't have a window with a view, like most of us, you can put up relaxing visual like countryside/seaside painting on the wall that you will be facing.

And if space is something that is of concern, you can always tile it up like the one below & install a shower glass to create that exclusive feel. Just love it!
