Designing your dream bathroom is one of the most fun parts of homeownership. You might be building brand-new or simply bathroom remodeling but one thing we can count on is that you want a look that is modern, elegant, relaxing, and upscale—just like a spa! The spa look and feel is easier than ever to achieve at home and if your contractor knows you want the space to feel like a spa, they might know just the right place for materials, especially if they have worked with the local hotels or spas in your area.

If you are trying to DIY you’re remodeling however, there are a few easy ways you can achieve the spa look at home.

  1. Jetted Tub: You’ll have a hard time getting a hot tub in your bathroom, but the next best thing is a jetted tub. Some of the most luxurious, high-end jetted tubs can feel just like a hot tub if you get the water hot enough.
  2. Separate Shower with Multiple Shower Heads: You might not always have time for a long soak in the tub and need a quick shower. Separate, walk-in showers are super convenient and when you install multiple shower heads, the experience will never be more relaxing. Some showers can also convert into steam rooms for the ultimate spa feel.
  3. Natural and Clean Color Scheme: You want your bathroom to feel as comforting as possible and earth tones are the way to go when deciding paint or tile colors. Whites, beiges, greens, blues, and light greys are all known for producing a natural and neutral tone for the room. Adding in potted plants, having dimmer lights rather than traditional on/off light switches, and incorporating natural elements such as bamboo or stone will also make your bathroom remodeling project feel like designing a fancy hotel spa.

There are lots of other ways to make your bathroom feel like a spa including hanging moisture-proof artworks in the bathroom, using high-end fixtures and furnishing, using bright whites for clean, pure color schemes, and even installing wireless speakers that can connect with your phone. Take time to visit a few spas before deciding your final design.
