5 terrific tips to turn your old bathroom into a fabulous spa
(5 min read) Ahhhh, 2020 has been so tough, just thinking about it makes you wanna hit the road and take a day-long treatment at the nearest spa center, right? I mean, we could all use a bit of rewinding and rebooting at this point. But, alas, the pandemic is still rocking the planet and we are still stuck in our homes. Sooo, where does this leave us? Well, still at home.
On a more problem-solving note, if you can’t go to the spa, bring the spa to you. Refreshing your bathroom so it resembles a lush and awe-inducing interior of a spa center has never been more necessary than at this very moment. Yes, I am very serious. The world is pretty much going crazy and you can’t do anything to help it, so try and help yourself. A project such as this one is the perfect starting point.
1. Bring in the light
If you are about to start redesigning your bathroom, expanding that little window on the south-east wall that overlooks the yard or the city(I’m just guessing) should be imperative. Spa centers are open and full of natural light and if you want your bathroom to resemble one, the window should be your starting point.
2. Get rid of the dingy old tiles and replace them with a cool mosaic
Mosaics have always been are all the rage when it comes to a bathroom redecorating, and 2021 is no exception. Replacing your old tiles is the biggest step of this whole process, so you shouldn’t be discouraged. After this is done, your bathroom will already largely resemble a top-notch spa center.
3. White furnishings are the way to go
White will do miracles to visually open and widen the space. Reflective and fresh, white bathroom furnishings are your best option, especially if you are dealing with a smaller bathroom, or if you are unable to create a window.
4. Mirror, mirror on the wall…
Having large reflective surfaces is a must, especially if your bathroom lacks light, so mirrors are the next best thing. You can go for several smaller ones, strategically positioned all around your bathroom, or you can go for one or two larger ones on your sink-wall.
5. In with nature!
Bring in your favorite greenery and place it here and there throughout your bathroom, and the same goes for wooden details. It’s just a minor step, but it will do miracles for transforming your bathroom into a comfy and fabulous spa.
So there you go! We made it! Now that you have your very own spa, lowering your stress levels and having a rejuvenating rest will be effortless. You’re welcome!

I wish my bathroom had a window, but oh well, I can however bring in some more plants! I love how that looked in the pictures! We are blessed with having a lot of light in that room though, so even though it is a window-less room, it does not feel claustrophobic. Blessings!
In fact, by following these tips it is possible to transform your bathroom into a wonderful SPA! Love this ideas!
One room in our house that we would love to do is our bathroom . It’s a little outdated and some of the items don’t work properly . So there are some lovely ideas here
Ok, you had me drooling over all of these inspirations. I’m a huge bathtub lover so I can so relate to this post. Bringing in the light, white furniture, and mirrors are so the way to go! Love it!
Our bathroom is the one room in our house that needs updating. This has given me some really nice ideas that I would like to try and do.
What wonderful bathroom ideas. I just love the ones with the plants and natural light.
These bathrooms are beautiful!! I would love a white large bathroom with a claw foot tub and a waterfall shower!
Gorgeous bathrooms. I would LOVE to do this to my bathrooms one day. They’re pretty dang small though.
So many great ideas! My husband and I plan to have a multi-head shower in our dream bathroom. And I want a mosaic on the floor and walls.
Oh my… These bathrooms are paradise. Thanks for the tips.
Oh gosh,I love the third one. So fab.
These are truly great tips. Thanks for sharing!
wow – so cool. I wish we had bathrooms that big where we could turn them into spa areas, especially like the “bring in the light” ideas. I like the roomy, airiness look, but would def have to pass on the one with all the plants.
Oh I would love to have a bathroom that’s like a spa! Great tips!
I have a very small bathroom with literally no space. And because I rent I can’t do any modifications. However, I did bring it some plants and they transformed the look of the bathroom.
Those are some great tips to keep in mind and I totally agree. For me it’s the 5th, I really love putting plants everywhere including my bathroom and it really does make it feel nice.
I adore these tips. Planning to redo my bathrooms by painting the cabinets white. Plus, would like to do the mosaic instead of tiles.
I have actually bookmarked your post as I am in the midst of thinking of designs to renovate the bathroom for next year and your post is just spot on as I want it to be a chilled space and calming
Yes I would love to do this! We are wanting to redo our bathroom this year!
I love these ideas! My bathroom desperately needs a makeover and these all look so pretty!

Those were some nice tips. We just decorated our bathroom last weekend
Such a beautiful especially little spa. I do have a spa room but not nice as your images. It is really good tips. Thanks for sharing.
Wow these pictures are so gorgeous! I’d love to have a bathroom as nice as these. Could relax right at home!
I have to research more about what plants do well in the bathroom. I tried with some, but they all died. I really like the idea of having a mosaic in the bathroom, especially, if it’s more like a strip than a huge part of the wall.
I’m dying to try these mosaics on my bathroom. ? So gorgeous!
these options look so fab, I am overjoyed. each will make me feel like a queen
Wow! These bathrooms look amazing. Our bathrooms in the UK tend to be quite small but I would love to have a huge tub!
A spa-like bathroom is a dream… I would love that!

What a cool line-up of the ideas! I’d like to implement any of them.
My favorite bathrooms tend to be those with a city view. But water views are amazing as well.
These are lovely ways to redecorate a bathroom. The designs and ideas are awesome.
All these tips are amazing. Can I just get some $$$ to be able to do it all? All those pictures looks a dream…
omg I am in so much need for a spa right now! I wish our bathroom would work for something like this!! We need a bathtub!!
I love the photos of the bathrooms in this post. The ideas are great, lots of greenery in the bathroom is very invigorating. But with a small bathroom like ours, unfortunately, you can’t do much.
Friendly greeting,
Nina
How I wish I can have a tub overlooking the garden! For now, it will just be a wish because we don’t have our own place yet.
These are great tips! Yes, bring the spa to us!
