7 Additions to Your Bathroom That Will Transform It Into a Peaceful Retreat

October 4, 2022

Every person has to use the bathroom daily. When a person transforms this room into a peaceful retreat, these visits will be something they look forward to. The following suggestions help take a bathroom from boring and functional to a place people enjoy visiting.

Quality Blinds

Blinds may not appear to be a decorative feature in the bathroom. People choose them so they can have privacy when in the room. However, bathroom window shades can be functional and attractive at the same time.

Choose Roman shades for the bathroom to give it an excellent feel, or opt for vertical blinds. However, choose blind materials carefully to ensure the treatments aren’t damaged by the high moisture levels in the room.

Layered Lighting

Many bathrooms feature ambient or general lighting and nothing else. These rooms often lack accent and task lighting, so the room never achieves that peaceful retreat feeling.

Always light from the top down. Ensure there is plenty of light for the toilet and the shower, which is where task lighting is helpful. Finally, choose some accent lights to highlight the focal points of the room.

Smart Shower

Imagine telling the shower how hot the water should be and having it achieve that temperature. With the help of a smart shower, doing so is easy. In addition, the user determines which water spray they would like while getting clean.

Some people prefer a gentle rain shower experience, while others want a pulsing shower spray. A smart showerhead provides the user with what they desire.

Essential Oils

Essential oils can calm a person, give them a boost of energy, or clear their congestion in a matter of minutes. They can be used in the bathroom in a variety of ways to turn the space into a peaceful retreat. Add some oil to the bathwater and soak troubles away or diffuse a pleasing scent while showering. The ideas are endless thanks to the wide range of oils offered today.

Luxurious Towels

Luxurious towels turn any bathroom into a spa. Consumers may choose from a variety of materials, including cotton and Egyptian cotton. They tend to have a wide selection of colours to match the decor in the bathroom, and the consumer can select from a range of styles.

Regardless of what options a person selects, people find luxurious towels take their bathroom to a new level. There’s no better feeling than getting out of a hot shower and wrapping up in a soft, fluffy towel. Guests and family members alike will appreciate this nice touch.

Heated Floors

Heated floors ensure a person never has to deal with cold feet when they visit the bathroom at night during the winter months. These floors are energy efficient and provide uniform heating. One reason homeowners love these floors is they know they can customize them to meet their needs and increase the resale value of the home at the same time.

Nature in the Bathroom

Add some plants to the bathroom for a spa-like feel. Plants make any room feel like an oasis. However, when choosing plants for the bathroom, ensure they love moisture, as this room is known for high humidity levels.

For those who lack a green thumb, plastic plants serve the same purpose. Invest in quality plastic plants so they don’t detract from the luxurious feel of the room.

Implement one of these changes in the bathroom today. After seeing the results, most homeowners make more changes because they see how small details can transform the room. Try it today for great success.
