Bathroom Lighting and Home Spas

Bathroom Lighting
When choosing the type and location of lighting, think about the layout of your bathroom. There might be a certain place you want to accent or you may want extra brightness around mirrors. You should also consider lighting that can be switched from dim to bright, so you can match your mood when getting ready for work or taking a relaxing bath. Although unique and extravagant lighting may be right for you, these lighting options tend to overpower smaller bathrooms.

Home Spas
Bathrooms have evolved from a simple room with a toilet, shower, sink and mirror to elaborate home spas. You no longer need to step outside your home to find a relaxing and soothing atmosphere to ease your daily stress. Home spas are not only for the wealthy; today's technology gives you tons of affordable options to transform your bathroom into the spa of your dreams.

Here are some tips on creating your own home spa at an affordable price:

• Use simple and soothing patterns and colors that you find relaxing in your bathroom.
• Use aromatherapy candles. They make for relaxed lighting and exude a desirable scent.
• Use thick, cotton towels or robes and slippers for a spa-like feeling.
• Incorporate nature themes into your bathroom, such as plants or shapes of tropical fish or flowers.
• Place a small CD player in your bathroom and keep relaxing music on hand.
• Add furniture, such as a comfortable chair, to your bathroom.
• Place multiple shower heads that can be adjusted in your shower or jets in your bathtub.
• Add steam to your shower to promote relaxation.
• Install heated tile in your flooring. It will keep your feet warm and cozy and make your wet floor dry faster to make it less slippery.
• If you find television programming relaxing, add a TV screen to your bathroom.
• Choose lighting that can be dimmed to give your bathroom a peaceful atmosphere.

Given that a new bathroom is a major investment, take your time choosing colors, finishes and features - and remember to have fun. Work closely with your professional contractor and don't hesitate to ask for help and creative ideas - this will bring you one step closer to the bathroom of your dreams.
