How to Make your Bathroom a Haven of Relaxation

Make your bathroom your own secret getaway – here’s how!

Life is stressful. Whether it’s work, relationships or kids, there are plenty of things in life which can make you stressed. Having a place at home where you can relax and get away from issues in your life is essential, and for many people, the bathroom is that place. We have teamed up with experts from Bespoke Interiors who provide some of the best luxury bathrooms Newcastle has to offer, to show you how to make your bathroom the most relaxing room in the house.

The Colours are Important

Having a calm atmosphere is the basis for any room geared towards relaxation, and the main colour of the room is a crucial factor in this. While some may find white to be too bright or even dull in other rooms, in a bathroom, it’s hard to beat. Not only does it give you a great base to inject character in your bathroom with little accent pieces and splashes of colour, but being such a neutral and minimalist colour, white can be very relaxing. Also, considering the number of essential bathroom appliances which come in white, it gives you enormous scope to choose precisely the style of appliances you want.

Make the Most of the Light

Any natural light you can bring into your bathroom will always make the space feel nicer. Maximising this natural light during your bathroom remodel is important, but obviously, this is dependent on the window placement and surrounding buildings. With that being the case installing intelligent lighting fixtures to add light to areas which may be lacking it can help make the room feel bigger and more welcoming. However, being able to control the light is also essential. Some people find taking a bath in a darker, more calmly lit room very relaxing. Advancements in lighting technology have produced smart lighting which can be controlled from a smartphone or tablet and can alter the brightness and even colour of lights to allow you to set the mood to your liking.

Storage is Key

Taking a minimalist approach has become very popular in interior design, but when aiming for a relaxing environment having a minimalist philosophy has always been a key component. What many people who are seeking a minimalist room fail to remember is throwing away all of your items is not the way to go. The way to achieve a great minimalist look is actually through intelligent storage solutions. Looking at surfaces with even just a few pieces of clutter on them can disrupt the overall look of a bathroom geared towards relaxation. Obviously, there are items like toothbrushes and shampoo which you need access to daily. Finding a functional storage space for them and getting into the habit of putting them away consistently, so you don’t need to spend significant time tidying up.
