Creating a home spa in your bathroom
Your homes bathroom can provide a number of essential functions to ease the tension of a long day.
Your homes bathroom can provide a number of essential functions to ease the tension of a long day. It's where you can go to take a relaxing bath, light some candles and grab a warm towel before bed. But to upgrade your modest comforts to luxurious pampering, there are a few relatively inexpensive additions that can transform your bathroom into a home spa - saving you money in the long run if you like to frequent expensive, upscale spa resorts. Here are some home design tips on giving you that much deserved rest and relaxation at a fraction of the professional cost.
Steam shower
For those who enjoy the cleaning, pore-opening treatment of a steam room or sauna, an in-home steam shower may be just the thing for you, according to HGTV.com. These sealed enclosures can provide a soothing cloud of steam while you shower with adjustable controls for flow and temperature. In addition to luxury, steam showers also possess several notable health benefits for skin care, congestion and aches and pains. The sealed glass doors will also prevent any moisture damage from occurring elsewhere in the bathroom.
Water jets
Bring the comforts of a traditional Jacuzzi or hot tub into your bathroom with a bathtub equipped with massaging water jets. These concentrated streams provide relaxing pressure to relieve tension and soreness and make for an ideal bath experience. If installing jets into your bathroom seems expensive, there are more affordable accessories that provide the same function, like massaging bath mats, according to MainStreet.com.
Heated towel rack
To extend the warmth and comfort of your spa experience, even when you're out of the bathroom, consider installing a heated towel rack. These inexpensive, plug-in accessories will keep your towels or bathrobes toasty while you indulge in your bathroom. They also operate on less energy than a standard light bulb, according to the news source.
While you're upgrading your home bathroom-spa experience, you may want to consider adding comfort and style to the rest of your home as well. With beautiful hardwood flooring from Anderson Floors, like those economically-friendly planks found in the Brevard collection, you can bring a new level of sophistication and durability into your home. Requiring 50 percent less timber to produce, these maple engineered floors are especially resistant to scuffs and abrasion - guaranteeing luxury that will last.
