Your Bathroom, a Private Escape

Your home is your safe haven, the place you go at the end of a long day to relax and unwind. So it’s vital you feel safe and secure when you walk in. There are a couple rooms in your home where you should feel especially calm and collected, and your bathroom is one of them.

Whether you have a large family with young kids or a small family with teenagers, your bathroom can function as your safe space away from noise and distractions. At the end of the day, you should be able to come home and find such a relaxing atmosphere in your bathroom that it’ll make you think of soaking in the tub or spending time in the bathroom reading books.

If that’s not the way your bathroom is now, don’t worry, because we’ve got a few tips and tricks up our sleeves to help you transform your bathroom into the safe haven you deserve.

Lighting

Start by letting in the light. If your bathroom doesn’t already have windows with access to the warmth and light from the sun, add some. The more natural lighting you have in your bathroom, the more soothing the space will be. Harsh, artificial light might be preventing you from relaxing and unwinding.

If your bathroom is starved for natural lighting, consider adding more mirrors on the walls or putting in a skylight. The mirrors will reflect any natural light you do have coming in, and the skylight—depending on where your bathroom is located—will let even more of the sun’s light in. Consider using candles as well.

Relaxing Sounds

You don’t need a sound system installed in the bathroom to experience soothing sounds. Get a portable speaker or wear some earbuds or headphones while you’re in the bathroom. Taking a relaxing bath while listening to calming music is a great way to unwind at the end of a long day.

In some cases, simple white noise, like the sound of waves at the beach or birds chirping, can enhance a bathroom’s space.

Color Palette

The color scheme of a bathroom can make a huge difference in how you feel when entering it. Soft, natural colors paired with simple decorations can create a relaxing atmosphere. Steer clear of bold, bright colors like red or yellow. Choose instead soft greys, warm blues, or clean whites for a comforting and relaxing environment.

Enhance Your Bathroom Space with Life

Live plants and flowers will not only naturally clean the air of your bathroom but also will alleviate the blandness that some bathrooms have. Be aware when choosing your flora that not all plant life can live in a humid, low-light place such as a bathroom. Consider your options carefully and choose additions that will thrive in your bathroom environment.

Pleasant Smells

We all know what it’s like to experience a smelly bathroom. To prevent that, and to perpetuate the idea and feel of a calm, relaxing bathroom, consider scenting your bathroom with pine, calming lavender, soothing jasmine, or rosemary.
