The trials of this world are relentless, and sometimes you just need to get away from it all. If you are lucky you can get on a plane and go somewhere to relax, but those kinds of excursions never come when you need them the most. Sometimes you need to go somewhere now, to be alone, and relax, maybe just for a little while. There is one place in this world where people can shut out the rest of society. A private place where you can lock the door and let it all hang out, without judgement or fear. This place is your bathroom. The nicer it is, the more you like to stay. If you can’t change anything else in your world, you might be able to make yourself your own little at home spa. Here are some ideas to start you off.
- Surfaces: The key to creating luxury wet rooms are the surfaces. Beautiful stone or ceramic tiles, granite countertops. Floor to ceiling organic installations that remind you more of a grotto than a room in a house. Elegant bathroom floor and wall tiles set the atmosphere for disconnecting from your everyday life.
- Glass: No matter what your colour scheme, the perfect complement will be glass. Beautiful mirrors cleverly installed, and borderless glass shower enclosures give the room some space and a healthy clean atmosphere.
- Tub: Showers are great, but the true escape is the tub. The style and size of the tub is up to you, but the freestanding tubs have that exotic, luxurious look that is just right for the mood you are trying to create. Make sure you test it out for comfort before you purchase, they are not one size fits all. You could also consider a two-person tub, to bring a little romance into the experience. There are also tubs with water jets and speakers too. You can go as far as you like.
- Art: Your private spa is not complete without some personal touches. Candles, and aromatherapy are essential to create the atmosphere you need. On top of that, this is the place to put some sculptures and even hang some paintings, some silk plants will go nicely as well. Remember this space is all about you, so don’t worry about other people’s tastes.
- Bar: After a hard day or on a morning off, you might want to spend a lot of time in your secret place. If you don’t want to interrupt your relaxation. Think about a coffee bar, or even a real bar, how nice to have a bottle of wine to go with the bubbles.
- Music: The final element is a sound system to complete the experience. It doesn’t take a lot to fill a bathroom with gentle, soothing music that will help you find your happy place.
Bathrooms are private worlds, and you can make them into whatever you want. If you don’t have the budget to renovate your whole house, you can make a change in the room that can mean the most for your peace of mind. Consider creating a luxury wet room in your house.
