Create a Relaxing Bathroom

The environment we surround ourselves in has the power to greatly affect our mood. Taking the time to get this just right can pave the way for an enriched daily experience in your home. Your bathroom, especially the master suite, is a unique room that is the backdrop for many of your daily routines and rituals It can showcase the refreshing start to your day or the calming wind down at the end of it.

Here are a few ideas to make your bathroom a relaxing space to enjoy your daily routines:

Incorporate Nature

Take inspiration from the natural world and create a beautiful, relaxing space that can transport you temporarily from your daily hustle. You can do this by using earthy tones and textures, optimising windows and including touches of nature with plants and decorations.

Colour Tones

Generally speaking, a minimalist palette will achieve a relaxing atmosphere readily. However, if you decide to incorporate colour, we recommend sticking to no more than three different tones in your colour scheme to keep a sense of calm.

Functionality

Functionality is a key consideration in the solutions to many design questions. Really take the time to consider the functionality of the space and how it will suit you on a daily basis. Keeping the space as open as possible will allow for a more relaxing environment, so only including what you will use is essential. For example: If you google a relaxing bathroom, probably the first image you see will include a bath - however if you really don’t enjoy taking a bath consider spending your time and energy modelling a beautiful shower area instead for you to enjoy.

De-clutter

This doesn’t mean to get rid of everything you own, the reality is you will have many items to store in your bathroom. The idea is to think about what you truly need in your bathroom and be realistic about space. Focus on ways to store these items so that they are accessible and placed away from the main surface areas. Keeping the surface areas clean and tidy will dramatically calm your space.

Finishing touches

Include accents, accessories or items that you speak to you personally; feeling personally reflected in your space can be a quick way to feel at ease and relaxed in your home.
