With a growing focus on wellbeing and an increasing need for self-care, we’re all looking for ways to unwind. A great way to bring a serene and calming space into your home is by creating a spa-inspired bathroom design.
Nothing soothes quite like a bath, making a spa-inspired design and luxury freestanding baths the perfect combination to achieve a truly relaxing and restorative space.
While most interior design styles are focused on aesthetics and appearance, a spa bathroom puts a greater emphasis on the feeling it invokes. Tailored towards restorative experiences and a relaxed state of mind, the goal of a spa-inspired bathroom design is to achieve a space that is welcoming and calming.
Whether you’re getting ready in the morning or winding down in the evening, we all have our personal rituals that soothe us. With the bathroom being the key space where these rituals take place, it is important that the design of your spa bathroom reflects that. This can be achieved in a number of ways; from the colours you choose to the features you include.
Spa-inspired bathroom design lends itself to a minimalist interior style, creating a neutral space where colour, textures and items don’t overwhelm. Choosing pastel colours over bold, primary hues instantly creates a soothing environment. When paired with dimmable lights, you can achieve a truly restorative atmosphere. But relaxation is just as much about the experience as it is about the environment. Opting for features that are tailored towards serenity, such as a freestanding bath, brings the spa-like experience to life.
Elegant, minimalist and contemporary, freestanding baths create a beautiful focal point in your bathroom interior. This luxurious bath option invites relaxation through spa-inspired aesthetics and delicate shapes.
The feeling of luxury is key when creating a tranquil space and a freestanding bath perfectly encompasses decadence through look and experience. The beautiful shapes and comfortable designs bring serenity and relaxation to your bathroom, aiding in creating a soothing sanctuary.
Freestanding baths offer versatility in terms of their placement. With no need to be attached to a wall, a freestanding bath can be placed anywhere in your bathroom, allowing you to tailor your bathroom experience to your needs and routines.
If this is the case, then a back-to-wall bath is the answer. This style of bath features the luxurious design elements of a freestanding bath, but it is designed to fit neatly alongside a wall like a regular straight bath. This means you can achieve the elegant appeal of a spa-inspired design even in smaller bathroom spaces. Back-to-wall baths come in a wide range of shapes and sizes to help you find the perfect look for your soothing sanctuary and achieve the most comfortable experience.
Our collection of freestanding baths includes both stone and acrylic options. Both materials produce a durable bath that is resistant to scratches, chips and damage and is easy to clean.
A more luxurious option, stone baths produce a greater spa-quality aesthetic with a smooth surface and heavier design. This eco-friendly material is long-lasting, naturally sourced and can be recycled to produce less waste. Bringing this natural material into your bathroom space will add an instant feeling of tranquillity and luxury. Both stone and acrylic materials feature heat retention qualities to keep your water warmer for longer. However, stone baths can retain heat up to ten times better than acrylic, making stone a premium material for baths.
Acrylic baths are also a fantastic option for the modern home. The lightweight quality of acrylic makes these baths quicker and easier to install. This more affordable option can also create a more comfortable bathe as acrylic has some movement to it and can minimally bend and flex when weight is applied.
