Creating a Sanctuary in Your Bathroom
The bathroom is the one place where you can get absolute privacy for yourselves. Not even the bedroom can offer that luxury, because if you’re in the bedroom, other house members might still be expected to be let in no matter what you’re doing.
After a long day, there’s nothing like a refreshing shower or a nice bubble bath. To improve the relaxation experience in the bathroom, here are some ways you can make it your sanctuary.
Lighting Variations
To make your bathroom more relaxing, think about being in a spa. The first thing you’ll notice in a spa is that their lighting isn’t that bright, it’s dim and calming instead.
You can install a lamp that can be turned to dim with a controller. If you’re not that invested, you can also place a few candles in case you want to turn off the lights and let the warm ignition of the fire relax your eyes.
Soothing Scents
A bathroom is even more comfortable when it smells good. You can choose different ways to make sure your bathroom smells good. You can buy an air freshener and spray it every day for maximum effect, or you can get scented candles.
Scented candles can provide dim lighting like we discussed and make your bathroom have that hint smell of lavender, or coconut, or pine, or anything you like! This is perfect for when you want to sink into a warm tub and relieve stress.
Elegant Furnishing
The furniture that you put inside your bathroom determines whether or not your bathroom is comfortable enough to be a sanctuary. If you put a large, open trash can, then it might not do so good at relaxing your nerves.
Amazing View
Most people think that bathrooms do not require a huge window. In fact, people usually go for small windows placed high above your head. However, making sure that you can see the outside world can make a lot of difference. Imagine being able to look at the city sky when taking a bath in a tub, or hearing birds chirping when taking your shower in the morning.
A large window can also ensure that your bathroom isn’t too moist and harbor moss. Just make sure you get the right blindfolds if you don’t want anyone peeking inside when you do private matters in the bathroom.
