Upgrading Your Bathroom to Give You a Spa-Like Experience at Home

Want to transform your bathroom to provide it with an air of opulence and luxury?

In this guide, we’ll discuss some of the best ways you can have your bathroom upgraded. So, how do you achieve a spa-like experience at home?

Let’s dive in!

Hiring the Correct Professionals

For starters, it’s key that you hire the right professionals if you want to upgrade your bathroom into a spa-like experience. This includes the design stage and construction itself.

Whether it be to hire an interior designer or a bathroom upgrade company, it’s best to secure at least three quotes before deciding which professional/company to opt for. By having 3+ quotes to compare, you can decide who might offer the best value for money.

You’ll want to base this on their price, level of experience, any online reviews or online ratings they might have and even, simply how well you get on with them.

Design Elements to Consider

But what about design considerations for a bathroom upgrade to a spa-like experience? Here are several design elements you may want to look into for your bathroom upgrade.

Earthy and Natural Wall Tones

One prominent design option that can work wonders toward creating a spa-like bathroom is the inclusion of earthy and natural wall tones. There are a ton of earthy, natural-toned wall tiles to choose from on the market. The key, of course, is finding the right look for you and your bathroom.

Rainfall Showerheads

A rainfall showerhead (i.e., waterfall shower head) provides a steady and even flow of water, offering a similar flow to that of a waterfall. This is possible since this type of shower head uses every nozzle to achieve the desired spray of water. Rainfall showerheads are known for creating a luxurious effect and are well-suited to home spa bathrooms.

Spa Bathroom Lighting

While bathroom lighting is usually quite bright, this is not what you’d want for a spa-like experience. One way to approach spa bathroom lighting is to ensure you add a dimmer switch.

A dimmer switch can allow you to create a serene and relaxing environment while also having the ability to opt for a bright morning bathroom feel to start the day off!

Steam Showers

A steam shower tends to be standalone and self-contained shower stall without any bath tub. Being able to produce plenty of hot steam, a steam shower is perfect for creating a spa bathroom at home.

Interestingly, steam showers are also better for the environment since they produce far less water than conventional showers. Steam showers employ steam generators to produce humidifying steam rather than relying on hot water storage as a conventional shower.

Another notable benefit of steam showers is that they can add value to your property. However, they are expensive and come with a higher risk of causing mould growth than regular showers.

Adding value to your property through bathroom upgrades aligns well with broader trends in the construction industry. For more insights into how these trends could influence your home improvement decisions, you might want to check out our Construction Statistics page.

Gold Accents

Beyond that, using gold accents can really enhance the spa-like feel of your home spa bathroom.

Gold accents you may want to consider include:

• Soap dispensers
• Toothbrush holders
• Cabinet handles
• Shower curtain rod
• Mirrow frames

Deep Soaking Tubs

Last but not least, you’ll want to consider opting for a deep soaking tub as the centrepiece for your home spa bathroom.

Deep soaking tubs are compact baths with steep sides. The steep sides can allow you to sit up. While deep soaking tubs offer less length and width than most baths, they provide plenty of depth, allowing you a more immersive submersion while also saving space.
