Turning a Bathroom in to a Sanctuary
Bathing is not just a simple necessity of living,Tips To Make Your Bathroom A Truly Relaxing Space Articles or every home would be equipped with a small, cramped stand-up shower built with utility in mind. Bathing has had many meanings throughout time, from socializing at the bath house as the Romans used to do, to the modern rise in popularity of spas and hot spring resorts. Today’s home bathroom is generally reserved for relaxing, reading, listening to music, or getting away from the rest of the world.

The first thing to consider when redesigning a bathroom is the theme. Different people relax in different ways. For some it might be a warm and cozy feeling, to others it could be more important that the room be spacious and airy. This will determine the overall color scheme and some of types of fixtures that can be used to enhance the mood. One should think about the purpose of the bathroom as well. Some prefer to sit in a warm bath and have a glass of wine. Others prefer to read while in the bath. Some prefer to bathe alone while some bathe with their significant others.

The size of the bathroom will determine how much work will need to be put into it as well as the possibilities that are available. A large bathroom may require more work, but will offer a large range of themes possible. Smaller bathrooms will have to be kept simpler, relying more on atmospheric elements such as scent, color, and sound to create mood.

Many things go into the subtleties of a bathroom’s atmosphere. Flowers and plants create a closer, natural feeling while adding their own scents to the air. Candles and incense can be used to create more complicated aromas. Candles have the added effect of creating their own, soothing lighting. The color of paint is important and it should match the rest of the overall theme. Mirrors can be used to create the illusion of space and open a room up. Different types of lighting can be employed and manipulated in order to create just the right amount of light depending on need. A small overhead light near the head of the tub is perfect for readers. Colored lighting can also be considered if just sitting in the bath and relaxing is the goal.

Practical elements must also be considered. Fixtures, such as baskets and such, to hold towels and toiletries can be themed to the rest of the room. Do not overlook the need to have things at arm’s reach, however, if they might be needed while in the bath. There is nothing worse than having to get out of the tub in order to fetch something when you need it. Piping in music from an exterior system or having a smaller, localized system can create mood via sound. A variety of soaps, scented bath oils, and other accessories can allow the alteration of mood in an instant. Good, soft towels are an essential for the end of the bath.

To those who have the money, a complete remodel can work wonders on a bathroom’s mood and feel. Marble, stone, growing flowers and ivy are all truly decadent additions, but anyone with a little time and effort can make a sanctuary out of their bathroom.
