Time and money aren't necessities when transforming your bathroom into a relaxing spa retreat. A little bit of creativity and attention to detail will save you big dollars when, rather than spending hundreds on a professional spa day, all you have to do is look within your own home. Even the smallest space can become the soothing space you're seeking.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Remove all clutter. Bathrooms are notorious dumping grounds, full of baskets, organizers, bottles and various products. Clutter is not a part of the inviting space you aim to create.
Step2
Display your towels. Plush linens have a comforting, sensual feel. Display rolled towels in a basket or fold and hang on mounted or standing towel racks.
Step3
Illuminate. Lighting plays a huge role in creating ambiance and setting the tone for your space. Consider installing a dimmer switch in your bath, or light candles for a subtle feel.
Step4
Scent your spa space. Scented candles, linen sprays and outlet air fresheners are all options.
Step5
Select soothing colors for walls, window treatments and towels. Cool blues and greens and warm brown tones all create a calming effect.
Step6
Add rugs. Sensory details are important and rugs have a soft, comforting feel to your feet.
Step7
Consider adding fragrant aromatherapy oils to add wonderful smells while inducing positive mood changes.
