Whether you are building or redesigning, one of the most important additions to a home is a spa master bath. It not only increases your home’s value, it adds value to the quality of your life by providing a sanctuary for shutting out the world, reducing stress and restoring vigor.  

Creating such a space doesn’t necessarily mean spending a lot of money, although elaborate designs can easily reach six figures.  Regardless of your budget, you can achieve great results by incorporating the following seven elements into your bathroom design: 

Clean – Most professional spas are clean, neat and organized and there’s no reason why you can’t do the same in your master bath. Find a place for everything, from make-up to cotton balls and shampoo by adding cabinets, shelves, drawers and separators. 

Space –  The bigger, the better when it comes to spa bathrooms. That means high ceilings, big windows and plenty of room for relaxing. 

Light – Soft light helps create a calm mood. Think about adding adjustable light switches, or adding light in unexpected areas such as around the tub or under cabinets.  

Warmth –  Nothing feels more spa like than being enveloped in warmth before, during and after you bathe. Luxurious touches include towel warmers, radiant tile, steam jets and heated shower seating. 

Color –  Remember that a spa should be a sensuous experience, so all aspects of it  should cater to the senses, including your color choices. Opt for neutrals or soothing or warm colors such as blue, green or yellow. 

Nature – It is a proven fact that natural elements such as stone and wood are beneficial to your health, as they do not omit any toxins into the environment. By going green in your home spa, you are promoting health.  

Spa tub – Of course, no spa bath would be complete without a spa tub, a place to rest your body and soul. If space is small, consider a corner whirlpool tub or if you have plenty of room, a step down spa or soaking tub.
