Tough days are an unfortunate certainty in life. During a stressful day you might close your eyes and transport to a blissful retreat, being pampered to the max and fully unwinding. Then reality sets in when you open your eyes and find yourself still overwhelmed with stress.
At Bathroom Takeaway, we believe you should have the privilege to unwind and relax everyday. And what better place to do that than in your private quarters, otherwise known as your bathroom.
Whether you are renovating your bathroom into a serene oasis, or are looking for easy changes to transform your space we have plenty of suggestions.
Keep reading for essential items, and tips to help create a spa style bathroom you will look forward to visiting after a long day.
Keep Your Bathroom Clutter-Free
You wouldn’t expect to visit a spa and be faced with overflowing drawers, messily folded towels, and cluttered counter tops. It would instantly put you off, and chances are you’d be asking for your money back!
Treat your own bathroom with the same mind-set. Keeping your area clutter-free will instantly create a clean and peaceful environment. Maintaining a tidy bathroom will put your mind at ease when you visit your home spa after a bad day. Afterall, a tidy space equals a tidy mind.
We recommend storing your essential items in bathroom cabinets. Not only will cabinets give you plenty of space for items that don’t match your aesthetic, but you can compliment your spa bathroom design with a cabinet that matches your colour scheme.
Wood-effect cabinets give off instant spa vibes with a neutral outdoors theme. Or if minimalist-chic is more your taste, then our white gloss finish storage units reflect light to open up small bathrooms and have that all important clean feel.
Create A Spa-Like Ambience
The little details are what will bring your spa-like bathroom together. What we mean by this is pay attention to the smells, textures, and temperature in your bathroom.
White fluffy towels and dressing gowns are not only practical, but are the ultimate zen spa bathroom decor. Introducing soft textures will set the mood, making your bathroom feel warm and inviting.
Create a soothing and peaceful sanctuary with warm lighting, avoiding harsh, bright white ceiling lights where you can. If changing your lightbulbs isn’t an option, scatter fairy lights and candles around the room to create a warm glow.
Not only do you want your home spa to look warm, you want it to feel warm. Being cold to the point of shivering is the opposite of relaxing. Make your bathroom cosy with a fluffy bath mat to keep your feet nice and warm.
Don’t skip on a heated towel warmer. Your towels will be kept toasty while you bathe, and your room will beautifully heat up resulting in ultimate comfort.
Unpleasant smells can be an instant turn off while trying to unwind. In order to fully relax, you want your bathroom to smell fresh and pleasant at all times. When creating a spa-like ambience, focusing on the scents should be a top priority.
How To Make A Bathroom Smell Like A Spa?
In order to make your bathroom smell like a spa, you first want to select your scents. If you have ever had a spa day, you will notice scents of lavender, citrus, eucalyptus, and peppermint.
With an essential oil diffuser, you can release calming notes of your favourite relaxing scents. Be careful not to go overboard with the essential oils otherwise you’ll end up with a sore head. Not only will your bathroom smell good, but it will look good! Diffusers come in a variety of styles and colours to match your spa aesthetic, making them the perfect accessory!
You can even add a few drops of essential oils to your bath which will leave your home spa smelling amazing for days.
If essential oils aren’t your thing, then scented candles will be the perfect addition to complete your spa ambience. You can pick up candles in most shops, offering a variety of different scents which aren’t too overpowering.

How To Make A Bathroom Look Like A Spa
Consider the colour scheme you would like for your personal spa. The traditional route would be to stick with a clean white aesthetic.
