How to Create a Home Spa: Simple Tips from Designers

Designers from «Tочка дизайна» studio tell how easy it is to organize a spa area at home – even if you have a very small bathroom.

If the bathroom is small

To determine what furniture and fixtures you need, decide whether you prefer a bathtub or a shower more. Baths are great for relaxing and releasing tension, while showers can be used to set up a steam room. If your family needs both – install shower curtains over the bathtub.

Avoid placing a toilet next to the bathtub – such layout compromises aesthetics. It's better to zone it off with a partition or furniture, and ideally, separate the bathrooms.

For a spacious bathroom

In this case, your imagination is almost unlimited. Choose a large standalone bathtub, equip it with a floor mixer, and place a small side table nearby for convenience. To make your bathroom room as relaxing as possible, use natural materials like wood and granite-like ceramics.

Corner hydro-massage tubs are no longer trendy – they clutter space and rarely look aesthetic. However, those who enjoy saunas can incorporate a plant box in the interior if they have enough free space.

Greenery

If there is a window in the bathroom, it's a great opportunity to green up the interior. There are many ways: for example, place a couple of large single plants, alternating light and dark green to create an attractive composition.

Without natural daylight and in high humidity conditions, plants struggle to survive. However, you can use shade-loving plants or arrange compositions of dried flowers.

Choosing Decor and Accessories

Plan different lighting scenarios, and when selecting colors and textures for decor, avoid overloading the space. Soft light, water sounds, gentle musical accompaniment, and pleasant aromas from sticks or oils will create the right mood.
