6 easy ways to have a spa day at home (bathroom edition)

Creating a personal oasis of serenity at home can feel like a chore. But thanks to UK Bathrooms, your dream spa day is just an extravagant bubble bath away. By taking inspiration from your favourite luxury spas. You can make a bathroom space that soothes your mind, body, and soul.

When planning your new spa bathroom design you can consider everything to even the smallest details. Such as including natural elements to create a tranquil feel. To things such as walk-in showers and water flow. As well as soft minimalist earthy colour palettes. Room saving bathroom storage, roomy bathtubs, idyllic accessories and rich finishes. Your journey to creating that spa day feeling at home has never been easier.

1. Apply a soft minimalistic colour palette.

Choosing the right colour palette for your bathroom is very important. As it can have an immense effect on the emotions the space creates. We would recommend using earthy tones or a white backdrop. As simplicity is the key to a serene bathroom setting. Alternatively, a simple dark contrast will act well. Especially with wood styled bathroom furniture and bold bathroom finishes.

This is a modern open planned bathroom with a mirror and hanging vanity unit. There is also a indie styled towel rack. There is a minimalistic feel of the room, which reminds the viewer of a elegant spa day.

2. Utilize bathroom storage to keep your room clutter-free.

In terms of bathroom furniture that could help tie all of your design choices together. We suggest looking at VitrA’s Integra Range, especially the Vanity Unit and Mirror. These items channel a timeless elegant moment. With the perfect balance of instant warmth and relaxing coolness.

This is a full sized bathroom, with toilet, bidet and shower enclosure. There is also a sink, mirror, tall cabinet and hanging mirror. All the items in this room belong to VItrA's Integra range. The colour scheme is monochromatic greys. This room is reminiscent of a spa day experience.

3. Create a spa-like walk-in shower

If you have ever been to a spa, you know that one of the best features is the open, relaxing, walk-in showers. They are paramount in the spa day experience.  Immerse yourself in the absolute brilliance of the rainfall shower from hansgrohe.

This PowderRain shower has the option of matching taps and accessories. Which can create a perfectly streamlined experience. This shower comes in a brushed gold finish. This goes very well against a dark contrasting wall.

A spa-like shower isn’t just about the showerhead, it’s similarly to the enclosure. Our recommendation for shower enclosures is to look at Crosswaters Gallery & Optix 10 ranges.

They come in stunning Brushed Brass, Matt Black, Brushed Stainless Steel and Chrome finishes. These can be used as beautiful accents against your calm muted or dark contrasting bathroom. You can also pair these with Crosswater’s MPRO range, see point five for more information.

4. Go for a spacious, luxurious bath

For some, a shower won’t cut it. Creating a bathroom whose focal point is a beautiful, elegant freestanding bath can be a necessity. One way to create a fabulous spa day experience is by using the Copper Boat Double Ended Bath from BC Designs. It is crafted in a hand-polished finish that really helps lift this bath above others. The Copper baths curves and beautiful lines can really add a lot of character, while still committing to a calming environment.

Alternatively, the Clearwater Formoso Petite Clearstone Freestanding Bath is simplistic. Yet, a stunning bath that has the depth to really sink into.

5. Use our spa day-inspired accessories

One of the easiest, and probably most cost-effective ways to create that spa-day experience at home is to match your accessories. These will help make all the difference in your new bathroom spa.

As suggested before, the Crosswater MPRO range can be paired with different finishes. We have everything from towel rings to toilet roll holders, to wall-mounted mirrors. Nothing says style, simplicity, and serenity more than a matching streamlined bathroom.
