Transform Your Bathroom Into A Spa
After a long day at work, there are few better ways to unwind than a long, hot bath. A bathroom is so much more than a functional room – it can be your own little haven, a space to leave everyday stresses behind and take time for ourselves. So how can we transform our bathrooms into our very own personal spas? We’ve rounded up our top buys…
Luxurious Bubbles
You’ve flicked the hot water on, and it’s time to treat your mind and body to a soak in the tub. An absolute essential is to have a bottle of luxurious bubble bath on hand to fill your bathtub with skin-softening goodness. Make sure you pick a scent that matches you – for those who like a sweet and floral fragrance, Molton Brown’s Rosa Absolute is ideal; but if you prefer something a little richer, there’s no better option that Floris’ Cefiro with notes of calming jasmine with the musky scents of cardamom and nutmeg.
Oils Are Eessential
For the true spa experience, essentials oils are a must. There’s nothing quite like walking through the spa doors and being welcomed by immediately-calming exotic scents in the air. You can recreate this at home by purchasing an aroma diffuser – the small and portable ultrasonic humidifiers vaporise water and essentials oils into a heavenly steam to fill your bathroom – all you need to do is pour in your favourite oils and plug it in. This diffuser from The Body Source even has seven different colour lights, for added mood lighting!
Sit Back and Relax
Once you’re in the bath, you can feel your worries melt away. But sometimes we find ourselves fidgeting and needing something to do – which is why many of us bring a book to the bath. But this is, as we all know, a dangerous game – water and paperbacks really don’t mix well! For bookworms or avid binge-watchers, a bath caddy is an essential investment. A beautiful wooden caddy bring a touch of country elegance to your new at-home spa, and is the perfect accessory to balance your book or tablet whilst you soak. This extendable rack can fit any bath, and even has a space for glasses or mugs – well, what’s a relaxing spa evening without a glass of wine or cup of tea?
Get On Trend…
… With face masks! Treating yourself to a face-full of moisturising nourishment has never been more popular, which means the market is saturated with options for every skin type, from sheet masks to muds and clays. Face masks are almost synonymous with self-care, and are the perfect way to treat yourself to a facial without even having to leave the house! We’re loving the Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask from the Body Shop right now – it comes in a large tub so you can treat yourself time and time again, and is a wonderfully natural way to leave your skin feeling its smoothest.
Rest Your Head
When you’re looking to have a proper soak in the bath, you want to go all in – literally. For those who love to fully recline in the bath, proper support is necessary. A bath pillow means your head and neck can rest comfortably, leaving you to focus on what matters – relaxing – without having to strain your neck on the hard bath top surface. This White Waffle pillow from John Lewis has suction cups to attach to your wall, and is simple and stylish – so will match any bathroom!
