Luxury Spa Bathroom with Wooden Tub

Choosing a Tub

Relaxation is the main purpose of creating this style, so we'll focus on wood. In addition to relaxation, such a tub can help with sleep disorders, pain, and anxiety. Some believe that wooden tubs accelerate wound healing.

A wooden bathtub is an exclusive piece of craftsmanship. The manufacturing process is complex and only skilled artisans can handle it. The wood used must be resistant to moisture; choose a tub made from larch, mahogany, or wenge.

Wooden tubs come in various shapes, often nautical themes. Professionals can even turn the tub into a boat or yacht.

A barrel or tub-shaped tub also looks very stylish. Such a tub will definitely be a highlight of your interior design.

Remember that wooden tubs require specific care. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to avoid any problems.

Lighting

Lighting in a bathroom plays an important role. There should be a good source of bright natural light. If possible, make sure to take advantage of a window.

At the same time, consider ambient lighting to create a spa atmosphere. Light dimmers are essential for this style.

Using only central lighting creates too many shadows on the sink area. Therefore, additional lighting for soft focus or a diffuser light fixture is recommended.

Ideally, the fixtures should be placed at eye level or slightly above, on both sides of the mirror. Use soft-colored lights to create a warmer ambiance.

Textures

One of the most pleasant aspects of planning a luxurious bathroom is choosing materials, which define the unique style. The options for wall and door finishes are vast. The best materials for spa-style doors and cabinets include maple, cherry, walnut, birch, and birch bark.

When choosing wall finishes, be creative. You can use glass or metal tiles or wooden panels. The key is to make the interior soft and cozy. Combine materials and experiment with color palettes.

When finishing the floor, choose moisture-resistant and non-slip materials. Ceramic tiles or vinyl flooring work well. Ensure that the material harmonizes with the rest of the bathroom’s textures.

Plumbing

When selecting plumbing, stick to minimalism. Try to keep as few visible details as possible. Chrome elements can draw attention and distract from relaxation.

Creating a Spa Atmosphere

What bathroom is complete without a mirror? Don’t just hang a simple reflective piece of glass; design an original frame for it. A mirror without a frame looks crude and unrefined. To maintain your special atmosphere, the frame should be wooden, preferably from the same wood species as the tub. You can replace one large mirror with several smaller ones arranged around the room.

Add pleasant details that delight the eye. Purchase a small wicker basket for towels, a small wooden bowl to replace a shelf for bath accessories. Place this bowl at the edge of the tub so all necessary items are within reach. Don’t forget natural soap and a washcloth, which also contribute to your style.

Place candles near the sink in soft colors. These should be traditional white candles in a cylindrical shape.

Scents play an important role. We always associate moments in our lives with specific smells. Fragrant sachets, scented candles, special sticks, and essential oils provide a pleasant, unobtrusive aroma. Avoid aerosols or air fresheners as they contain chemicals that are unnecessary in this atmosphere.

Visualize for yourself a place where you could completely let go of negative thoughts and intrusive worries. A spa-style bathroom should reflect that place. Remember the core principles of a spa atmosphere: natural materials, minimalism, and comfort.
