In today's busy world, it is important to give yourself some time for rest and relaxation. Unfortunately, a trip to the spa can set you back hundreds of dollars. The good news is that you can recreate a spa-like feeling at home for less than $100. Here are some tips for giving your bathroom a mini spa renovation:
One of the basic things that you can think of whenever you enter a spa is the lighting. The lighting is one of the most important aspects of this process as this will help set the mood for your much-needed rest and relaxation.
Simply turn the lights off in the bathroom and switch to scented candles. Not only will the light from the candles help set the mood for relaxation, but the scent will also make you feel calm. All Women's Talk listed 7 scented candles, priced at $10 to $60, which will help you relax after a hard day at work or in school.
Aside from the lighting, you also need to have the right accessories to give off the look and feel of a spa. Real Simple advises on replacing your shower system into a stainless steel dual-action showerhead, which has a handheld and stationary component. This will only cost as low as $50.
Of course, you also need to have the right curtain and linens to improve the overall look and feel of your bathroom without doing major remodeling or renovations at home. Simply change the curtain into a crisp white curtain or something that gives off a luxurious and cozy feel.
Another thing that spas usually have is the teak bath mat. While this one is more for the aesthetics, the aforementioned publication notes that this would be a wiser option than using a traditional mat because it is quick drying and mold-resistant. A teak bath mat only costs $40.
