How to Turn a Small Bathroom Into a Spa

You can transform even the smallest bathroom into a spa.

Going to a spa is a luxury many people can only afford on rare occasions. However, it is fairly simple to turn a small bathroom into your own private spa. Things to keep in mind in doing this transformation are color, mood and lighting. You can transform even the smallest space over the weekend with just a few supplies and the right accessories. Does this Spark an idea?

Things You'll Need

• Paint in a light color
• Thick towels and washcloths
• Plush rug
• Spa robe
• Scented candle
• Silk or fresh flowers
• CD player or radio
• Soaps, lotions and masks

Instructions

1. Paint the walls of your small bathroom a soothing, light color. Light colors give the illusion of more space and light. A light green, blue or gold can provide a calm background for your private spa.

2. Add a small plush rug and fluffy towels to make the room feel more luxurious. You'll notice the difference immediately once you emerge from the bath or shower. An extra-thick spa robe made from Egyptian cotton will wrap you in warmth and softness.

3. Keep a CD player or radio in the bathroom on a dry, level area away from water sources. Play nature sounds or gentle classical music at a low volume to calm the senses.

4. Light an aromatherapy candle in a relaxing scent such as lavender. The warm glow from the flame will relax you, too.

5. Decorate bare corners or nooks with live or silk plants. Nature provides a calming, cleansing presence in any room.

6. Stock your small bathroom with thick washcloths and pretty scented soaps and lotions.
