Bathrooms are, when we’re fortunate, the only space within our homes we can, with any luck, find peace, quiet, and some much-needed time to ourselves. Even if we have just 10 minutes to spare, our bathrooms should be a place to pamper and indulge.

Here are 6 simple ways to transform your bathroom into an Oasis of Calm.
1. Paint In Neutrals
Color is a powerful yet somewhat overlooked tool in creating a calming and relaxing space. The classic color for bathroom walls is traditionally a clean, fresh, cotton white, yet light pastels are proven to do wonders for relaxation. Whether in whimsical yellow, creamy mint, light aqua, or pale lilac, pastel paint colors are far less saturated than primary colors. In a bathroom, they create a calming and soothing ambiance.
2. Warm & Cosy Heating
The beauty of a heated towel rail cannot be overstated. Towels, dressing gowns, and pajamas are far more appealing when warm and snuggly. Not only are heated towel-rails amazingly practical, but they can also be a stunning design feature. Visit warmrooms.co.uk for an expansive assortment of sensational radiators and heated towel rails to suit any style of bathroom.
3. Hide Products With Simple Storage Solutions
Whatever your bathroom dimension, the fewer toiletries on show, the cleaner and therefore more tranquil your ‘me-time’ will be. The diverse range of storage solutions available means you will never be stuck for possibilities. Minimalistic pieces in natural, organic materials are perfect for concealing all sorts of products, fashioning an unassuming and soothing space to pamper yourself in style.
4. Clean Tiles & Splashbacks
A clean, fresh aesthetic does wonders for relaxation. Cleaning bathroom tiles are quick and easy, reaping benefits aplenty.
- Pre-heat the tiles with hot water from the shower
- Take your time and be thorough; play music and enjoy
- Rinse tiles thoroughly to avoid smears
- Invest in a quality limescale remover
- Use a tiny bit of bleach with cotton buds on problematic areas
- Spray lemon juice and spritz before wiping down with a damp sponge
5. Be At One With Nature
Bring the outside in with an injection of foliage by investing in some beautiful and moisture-loving houseplants. For a luxury spa-feel in your bathroom, choose the right houseplant to suit the environment. Just a few plants that will thrive in a bathroom space include the orchid, which enjoys warm and humid conditions, peace-lilies that flourish in low light conditions, and ivy, one of the easiest houseplants to maintain.

Scented candles are a wonderful way to smother your senses.
Lighting a therapeutic candle encourages a sense of well-being and peace, with some studies even proving they reduce stress and anxiety, with certain scents inspiring specific emotions. According to aromatherapy specialists, pine, sandalwood, peppermint, and jasmine are aromas that help eliminate fatigue.
Transform your bathroom into the oasis of calm you truly deserve.
You are absolutely worth it.
There is nothing better than a warm towel or under floor heating in your bathroom – just screams luxury!!!
