Sexy Baths are Here to Stay








Design Trends & Tips Spa Retreat Bathrooms

Focus on adding relaxation and even a little romance to your home. Create a soothing full body experience versus just getting clean functional.

Clear out the clutter

  • Having a place for everything will lessen your anxiety and create an instant calming effect.
  • Create different "zones" for the various bathroom functions. For example, designate one zone to makeup, another to bathing, etc.
  • Rather than having towels tossed anywhere, roll them up & place them standing up in a basket by the bathtub.
  • Clear, frosted glass containers will help disguise your necessities while adding a touch of elegance and sophistication or choose ones that match your finish/fixtures.
  • Use Calming Colors
  • In bathrooms, especially where you apply your makeup, choose colors that complement your skin - flattering yellow-pink-blue undertones.
  • Hold a paint chip next to your face to choose a color that best suits you.
  • Enhance the harmony in the space, by painting with colors in similar tones.
  • Calm and relaxing greens are emotionally balancing and also connect us to nature.
  • Red is the color with the longest wavelength and shortest frequency, so it is very intense and stimulating rather than relaxing. Don't do it.
  • If earthy isn't your thing, stick with soothing pastels in your spa bathroom.
