Creating a Spa-Like Bathroom with Modern Wall Panel Designs

Recreating a ‘spa-like’ feeling in a bathroom is on the wish list of many homeowners. But what does this mean and how easy is it replicate? Hopefully this blog will answer these questions and more, helping you on your way to creating your own in-house spa.

What do we mean by ‘spa-like’?

What does ‘spa’ mean to you? A relaxing, calming environment? Opulent surroundings? A waterfall shower? A hot tub inspired bathtub? Or all these things? For most of us, ‘spa-like’ evokes a sense of relaxation with a touch – or a lot! – of luxury.

Why do people like a spa style design in their bathroom?

As we’ve mentioned above, a spa style design can add a feeling of opulence and luxury to your bathroom. It can create a sense of calm and offer a space in which you can truly relax and unwind.

How can you capture this style at home?

So how can you capture this spa feeling in your own bathroom? Here are 8 suggestions which will help you on your way.

Declutter

A clear room is a clear mind! Try and minimise the number of items you have out on show and aim to clear surfaces, including the floor, to create an organised and unobstructed environment.

Storage

To achieve the above uncluttered look, you may need to reconsider your bathroom storage options. As well as bathroom cupboards, try baskets, utilising shelfing areas, and hooks to maximise your storage.

Invest in quality towels

All spas have soft, plush towels so why not invest in your own? These will add a touch of luxury, as well as being beautifully comforting when you get out of your bath or shower.

Buy a new showerhead

Consider changing your showerhead to one which offers a more luxurious feel. There are many options available, from ones which offer massaging spray patterns, to handheld components, to rainwater showerheads, which ‘rain’ down on your from above. Whichever you choose, this is an easy, and relatively cost effective, way of adding a sense of ‘spa’ to your bathroom.

Use calming colours

Calming colours create a relaxing, refreshing ambience. However, this doesn’t mean you have to stick to creams and whites. There are many ‘neutral’ tones to choose from, and what is calming to one person, may not be calming to you!

Stunning scents

Spas are always full of beautiful scents, designed to relax and rejuvenate. You can recreate this in your own bathroom by using reed diffusers, candles, or natural air fresheners. It also needn’t cost you the earth, with many supermarkets now selling stylish scents at a reasonable price.

Complementary toiletries

If you have toiletries on show, try and choose aesthetically beautiful products or make sure they are coordinated, either by using the same brand or choosing the same colouring. This will add a truly ‘spa like’ feel to your home.

Stylish seating

If you have the space, incorporating a chair can add a cosy and luxurious feeling to your bathroom. Whether its to put your towel over whilst in the shower, or somewhere dry to place your clothes, a chair will add that final flourish to your spa styled bathroom.

How can wall panels help create a ‘spa-like’ aesthetic?

Bathroom Wall panels are the perfect addition to any ‘spa like’ space. They add opulence, in the form of beautifully designed patterns and tones, whilst also being highly practical.

They are 100% waterproof, which is ideal for rooms with high levels of moisture such as bathrooms or shower rooms, and they are extremely easy to look after, needing only a wipe with a clean cloth to keep them looking like new.

What wall panels are best to create a ‘spa-like’ atmosphere?

When it comes to choosing wall panels to complement your new spa bathroom, you are spoilt for choice. The most obvious design is marble-effect panels. These beautifully designed wall panels perfectly emulate the opulence of real marble and add luxury and lavishness to any room. They come in a range of different tones, allowing you to easily blend the panels into an existing design.

Available in an array of colours and designs, tile effect wall panels can also help to create that spa like feeling. With clean lines and neutral tones, they add to that spa like aesthetic.

As mentioned above, neutral colours can help in your quest to recreate a spa like atmosphere in your own home. These tones are both warming and relaxing, and result in a clean, sleek finish.
