Choose soft lighting. While bright light is needed at the vanity area, spa bathrooms are not the place for harsh lighting, as the overall decor is relaxing and soothing. Add sconces on dimmers, small accent lamps on a small table and candles to your spa bathroom for a variety of soft lighting that enhances its calming decor.

Add greenery. Nature and spa decor go hand in hand, so add live or faux plants to your bathroom spa, such as ferns, bamboo plants and orchids. This small touch of nature makes your space even more soothing and creates a room that is full of luxury for you to relax mind, body and soul.
