Table of Contents

There are endless ways you can achieve the bathroom of your dreams and not all of them need to be a huge undertaking. Whether you want a few simple updates or you want to start from scratch completely, with the right contractor the bathroom of your dreams can easily be achieved. To help with the process, we’ve put together this list of spa remodel ideas that can transform your old space into a refreshing, multi-functional space.

How to Turn Your Bathroom Into a Spa

When you think of a spa, you might think of things like fluffy bathrobes, eucalyptus scent, and natural elements, all of which work together harmoniously to create the rejuvenating, calm environment you’re after. 

You can achieve a timeless, sophisticated design similar to a luxury spa with just a few quick upgrades. But if you want to really transform your space, there’s nothing wrong with completely gutting your bathroom and giving it a whole new layout. 

Create Calm With Color

One of the easiest and simplest ways to update your bathroom is by refreshing the paint and color scheme. Adding warm, calming colors to your bathroom sets the tone, making it feel more soothing to be in. Colors such as soft greys, beige, and light browns are a great—yet subtle—way to create the environment you’re looking for. If you want to go big, however, you could also incorporate these colors into your flooring, vanity, shower tiles, or countertops.

Keep Things Natural

One of the best ways to create a spa-like bathroom is by incorporating natural, earthy elements. There’s nothing more serene than the calming tones of greens, blues, and browns, making you feel like you’re relaxing in a spa on the beach or a secluded forest. Add natural elements through the flooring, vanity, or shower and prepare for pure tranquility while you’re freshening up in your new bathroom.

Enhance or Add Storage

Many smaller bathrooms tend to lack adequate storage, making the whole room feel insanely cluttered. This can be a major downfall if you’re trying to achieve the relaxing essence of a home spa. One of the best ways to combat this is by upgrading your storage and there are several ways you can do this.

If you’re choosing to renovate your entire space, make sure you communicate with your designer the amount of storage you want and incorporate it into the plan. If you’re only updating a small portion and you don’t have a lot of space, look up! One of the best ways to create more storage in small spaces is by using the walls. Try adding open shelving with baskets to avoid a closed-off feel?

All About the Finishing Touches

One the most important parts of creating a cohesive spa-like design is tying in all of the details. The finishing touches can make a major difference in the look and feel of your space. Do you want to feel luxurious, in tune with nature, or both? Little details can take your space to the next level.

Here are a few ways to add those essential finishing touches to your spa sanctuary:

  • Upgrade your shower head: if you don’t have a soaking tub, a high-quality shower head is a must. Whether it’s a waterfall shower, massage or hand-held, or high pressure shower head, this can instantly upgrade your experience.
  • Gold details: what’s more luxury than gold? Include gold fixtures for a modern, luxe feel.
  • Don’t forget the rugs: this part of your bathroom tends to fall to the wayside, but the right rug can elevate your bathroom design without breaking the bank.
  • Cozy towels: what’s more calming and relaxing than the coziest bathrobe? Not a whole lot.
