8 Enchanting Ideas for Creating Your Bathroom Oasis

There’s nothing that feels more relaxing and spa-like as stepping into a well-designed bathroom. So why not try to create your own little paradise by remodelling your bathroom? Below are eight inspirational ideas to help you create your bathroom oasis.

1. Calm colors

Repainting is a great way to rejuvenate any room in the house, including the bathroom. To get that luxury spa aesthetic going, you’ll want to explore a range of warm, neutral colors for your bathroom. Ideally, you’ll want to use three different shades; but if you’re feeling bold, you can also experiment with up to five. Earthy tones and/or soft blues are a great choice to inspire a peaceful atmosphere, and they work really well with a range of various accessories.

2. Get lit

No bathroom remodeling is complete without a beautiful lighting job. Proper lighting is essential to creating the right atmosphere. If you haven’t tried them out yet, smart lights are an interesting option for any homeowner or renter. With as little as a single light bulb and a dimmer, you can easily create different moods. There are coloured lights, traditional light bulbs, rope lights and more. Plus, they’re energy efficient and programmable, so that you can have the ambience ready from the second you wake up and step into the shower.

3. Tile time

Most modern luxury bathroom designs involve replicating nature. Faux food tiles that are made of ceramic or porcelain can help you create an organic environment. Because they’re not actually made of wood, they’ll be resistant to moisture and mould, which is definitely a plus. Pebbled tiles also work really well with wood accents, so don’t be afraid to mix and match.

4. Bring the heat

Heated flooring can be an absolute game-changer when it comes to redesigning your bathroom. Say goodbye to frozen toes forever if you decide to go this route. Make sure to opt for high quality electric underfloor heating, so that you can ensure that the system is energy efficient and doesn’t significantly bump up your monthly hydro bills. Towel warmers are also a great add-on to keep you nice and toasty from head to toe the second you step out of the shower. There are a variety of free-standing ones as well as warming drawer cabinets that works with your space and budget.

5. Japanese soaking tubs

If you’re short on space but still want that spa-like bathroom, Japanese soaking tubs are closest thing to a hot-tub that you can get indoors. They’re super deep compared to the standard Western-style tub, and come in all shapes and sizes. They can even be custom made to fit into any nook and cranny. Some of these soaking tubs are even designed with built-in storage, so they can be multi-purpose too. Wooden frames are also popular and even look like pieces of art. These tubs would be a fabulous addition to any luxury bathroom.

6. Walk-in showers

If you’re not even into bathtubs, there are also walk-in showers. Walk-in or ‘Italian style’ showers are not only practical, easy-to-clean, and saves space, they’re also visually stunning.

7. Massaging showerheads

Bathroom remodeling doesn’t have to break the bank, or the walls. If you don’t want to do a total overhaul of your space, why not start by simply swapping out your existing shower head for something a little fancier? Some shower heads are even self-cleaning, and many come in several finishes like brushed chrome, nickel and polished brass, so there’s definitely a look for every taste.

8. Accessorize

While it might be tempting to redo everything from your bathroom cabinet to the ceiling fans, small things also make a difference when it comes adding luxury to your home. After all, it’s the little details that are vital. Consider replacing your shower curtains, bathroom accessory set, or even purchase new towels and rugs that compliment your tiles. These additional touches add personality to your bathroom and make your space more welcoming.

By incorporating some of these simple ideas for your bathroom, you’ll have an enchanting oasis that you never want to leave.
