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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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 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 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,
