Is me time something that you yearn for? Whenever we want to have some alone time, spa sessions and costly treatments usually come to mind. Visiting spas has been considered a worthwhile use of time and resources. 

While they are definitely worthy and helpful services, nothing beats the immense relaxation brought about by a home spa. 

Redesigning the bathroom into a place for ultimate relaxation is a worthy investment that could give you a long-term return. Nobody can afford to go to the spa on a regular basis so what will happen if you feel tired frequently? 

You’d be forced to shake it off and prepare for the next day without rejuvenating yourself. On the other hand, with a home spa, you can rest as needed. 

However, not everyone can afford to completely pull off a home spa. There are simply too many factors involved including budget constraints, space constraints, and the like. 

These days, people who want to pull off a home spa but can’t afford it go for the middle option. They instead procure luxury items that can create a spa-like haven at home. What exactly are these?

We’ve listed them down for you.  

Whirlpool Baths

There is nothing that can simulate the spa environment better than a whirlpool bath. Whirlpool baths are being sold with tons of diverse options available in the market, particularly with the number of massaging jets. 

The number of these jets is important as the more there are, the better it can relieve you of your stress. There are also some models that include chromotherapy, hydrotherapy, aromatherapy, and wellness systems. 

These various added functionalities help make the bathing experience all the more indulging and luxurious. For an even better spa-like ambiance, you can also opt for high-end whirlpools that have sound systems fitted. Some of these utilize Bluetooth technology so that you can link it to your smartphone or computer.  

Luxury Showers

Showers are pretty standard fixtures. As such, you can find them in all shapes, sizes, colors, and designs. Due to the advancements in technology and the availability of materials, shower prices have also dwindled to a point where luxury showers are becoming more marketable. Luxury showers are perfect for bathroom spas and help in not only the relaxation but also the visual appeal offered by the bathroom. 

Waterfall shower heads are among the most sought-after luxury showers. Consumers find the effect of these shower heads really invigorating and it has the ability to truly wash away your stress. Lately, there has also been a surge in the popularity of large overhead waterfalls as they are great when coupled with warm water. 

If you opt for a more controllable directional flow, you can also try showers that have additional handsets. That way, you can control the direction of the spray. Additionally, modern showers now also offer thermostatic controls that allow you to control both the intensity of the water flow as well as the water’s temperature. 

Leaving these in the user’s hands is definitely the best way to go. Finally, there are also other feature-rich shower heads that further the visual appeal of the room. Some of these boast LED lights and touch panels where you can control the flow and temperature. It is definitely luxury at its finest. 

Modern spas are known for such unique showers. If you really want to recreate a bathroom spa, this should be the first thing that you modify. It is a very simple yet impacting change that could make a huge difference to the success of your renovation.  

Double Basins

Double basins are something that isn’t common in spas. However, they have considered luxury features that we feel would fit well in a spa environment. Found in boutique hotels, double basins make the bathroom look more lavish and are also very useful at the same time. 

They can be used as his and hers basins effectively creating a divide for privacy and distinction purposes. This not only helps in the organization of products but also prevents mix-ups from happening when it comes to product use. For those with a little more budget, changing the taps to ones with waterfall effects can help it fit well in the bathroom spa. Other basin options for bathroom spas include countertop basins and sunken basins that are fitted on floating wood shelves.  

Wooden Furniture

Stylish wooden furniture is something that can inject a spa-type environment rather well. Spas usually employ this in order to bring a bit of nature into the establishment. 

Spas pull off the look by matching this furniture with neutral and earthy tones. For home bathroom spas, this can easily be recreated by installing a wooden cabinet with shelves. 

These are not only there for aesthetic purposes but can also serve as storage for your vital items.  

Lighting

Another venue that you can modify to recreate the spa ambiance is the lighting. By choosing warm LED ceiling lights, the environment is made all the more relaxing. LED mirrors are also great and can create a soothing glow in the bathroom. 

LED lighting is advised for bathrooms that don’t get that much natural light. Too much lighting can have a negative effect on the ambiance though which is why warm lights are advised. 

For households that have varied lighting preferences, a dimmer switch can also be installed. This way, one can alter the lighting as they see fit.  

Designer Towel Rails

Heated towel rails are perfect as they bring you the luxury of having warm towels ready when you are done bathing or showering. These rails are also perfect for slippers or bath robes. 

As there is no limit to the number of things one potentially wants to store, these designer rails are available in all shapes and sizes. 

With all these possible venues for customization, what are you waiting for? That luxury bathroom spa you’ve been dreaming of can be achieved with very few changes involved.
