Sometimes what we need most is time to unwind and relax. And what better place to do that than your bathroom where you wash away your fatigue for the day? But why not ramp it up and transform your small bathroom into a beautiful spa-like retreat? A few DIY tricks here and there and you’re good to go. If you want to take things further, call the pros. This guide will walk you through things you can do and when to call a professional for bathroom renovations in the eastern suburbs of Sydney.
DIY Spa-Like Upgrades
Declutter and Organise
A spa environment is all about peace and simplicity. Clear out your counter, clean your shelves and cabinets, and throw out your trash. Invest in good-looking, simple storage. Whether it will be a basket, a box, a tray, or a container, it will help your stuff look put away and make your bathroom the calmest and most relaxing space ever.
Add Plants for a Natural Touch
Strategic placements of greenery in the room are the easiest ways to keep your bathroom in tune with a spa-like atmosphere. Use beautiful hanging plants or small potted friends. Display moisture-loving plants like ferns, orchids, or bamboo (for a tropical feel) to ensure they thrive in your bathroom.
Upgrade Your Lighting
Harsh lighting is not conducive to relaxation and serenity. In contrast, great lighting creates a good mood. Consider changing your bathroom light fixtures to softer options, or maybe installing dimmable lights. If not, LED candles also make for a calming source of light. If you have good bathroom windows, maximise the natural light and opt for sheer curtains or blinds to let it filter through while keeping your privacy.
Try Aromatherapy
Remember all those spas or spa products that always smell so good? Do the same in your bathroom by incorporating essential oils, candles or reed diffusers to diffuse nice smells throughout. If you are so inclined, try lavender, eucalyptus and chamomile — or even just your favourites.
Add Soft Textiles
Soft, plush towels and bath mats will make your bathroom instantly feel cozier. Even when they are only on display, invest in good-quality bath towels that feel wonderful against the skin and buy a fluffy spa robe to complete your hotel look. A small padded footstool that might double as an accent chair for a tip of luxury will serve you well.
Upgrade Fixtures and Accessories
Sometimes, it’s the small details that make the biggest impact. Invest in spa-inspired soap dispensers, toothbrush holders and towel racks for a more Chateau chic bathroom. Consider a brushed nickel, matte black or polished chrome finish to give your bathroom a dated appeal.
Professional Renovations for a Spa-Like Bathroom
Install a Rainfall Showerhead
Rainfall showerheads are one of the most visually pleasing and transformative innovations for a renovation. A refreshing shower emulates standing under a gentle rain, thus providing an immersive experience. For a DIY project, it is critical to ensure that the rainfall showerhead is not only properly fitted but functional in its entirety. The overall experience can be substantially improved with the help of a professional as they can ensure your showerhead is working as intended before taking a shower.
Opt for Heated Floors
For a truly deluxe experience that many before and after showers will appreciate, heated floors play a vital role. A conduction unit under your floors can bring warmth and comforting new dimensions to your showering experience. Since it’s somewhat expensive for a renovation process, heated floors are best left to professionals as the intricacies involved could easily go wrong.
Choose a Minimalist Colour Scheme
For a truly spa-like experience, you’ll want your bathroom to have a specific colour palette. Rather than strong, vibrant colours, you’ll want to have a soft and neutral colour deck with shades of white, beige, or grey taking centre stage. Professional painters can do wonders for this part of the renovation process as the finishing touches provided by flawless coatings of the colours you’ve chosen can greatly enhance the space.
Incorporate Natural Materials
Using things like stone, wood, and marble in your bathroom can really make it feel more spa-like. It brings in texture and warmth. You could incorporate a stone wall on your renovation, add some wood shelves and cabinet fronts, or splurge on a nice marble counter. The natural look goes with the whole Zen spa vibe. Plus these materials have that fancy, high-end feel but they'll also last for ages, so it's worth spending a little extra. Make your bathroom a relaxing escape with natural touches that takes things up a notch.
Upgrade to a Freestanding Bathtub
If you have the space, a freestanding bathtub can help create spa bathroom heaven. Made in an assortment of shapes and sizes, these tubs can be utilised to fit your space or style. Professional bathroom renovators in the eastern suburbs of Sydney can help you select and install the perfect tub, ensuring it’s both functional and visually stunning.
Install Custom Cabinetry
In place of small bathroom vanities, install custom cabinetry. Cabinets can provide storage and design alternatives. Built-in cabinets, floating vanities and recessed shelves will help you easily store items so the space doesn't feel overwhelming. With the help of professionals, you can get customised cabinetry to suit your precise needs and add visual appeal to the bathroom.
Add a Steam Shower
Having a steam shower will certainly create an oasis of relaxation and rejuvenation inside your space. Since it requires precise installation, hire specialists to install it correctly to avoid any accidents and possible problems from doing it yourself.
Enhance with Smart Technology
Smart technology can bring convenience and modernity to your spa-like bathroom. You can incorporate things like smart mirrors with built-in lighting and defoggers to voice-activated showers and underfloor heating controls. But let the pros do the installations to ensure everything works perfectly together.
Install Soundproofing
Do you live in a high-traffic area? Or do you have a large family with kids running around? Consider adding soundproofing to your bathroom. Professional soundproofing can block out external noise, creating a quiet, peaceful environment where you can truly unwind.
