The Bathroom Spa

Having a bathroom spa isn't that big a deal when done during a remodel.

Today’s bathtubs compete with the finest luxury spas for atmosphere and amenities. Bathroom designs are becoming increasingly more sophisticated as homeowners discover the many attractive benefits of having a spa right down the hall.

So, what makes a bathroom spa? Here are some aspects of bathroom design to consider:

1. Size and scale: In general, today’s baths are substantially larger than their predecessors. They’re designed to accommodate larger bathtubs and showers and to provide ample room for double sink vanities and organized storage. A feeling of uncluttered open space is essential to creating a spa-like atmosphere.

2. Multi-tasking Tubs and Showers: The tubs and showers being created today perform well beyond basic function. Freestanding tubs are often the focal point of a bathroom, welcoming the homeowner with the promise of a lengthy retreat.

Tubs outfitted with air bubbles or jets, or those inspired by Japanese soaking tubs, are elements of the current trend. Showers are offering either relaxation or invigoration depending on your mood.

Spray jets, multiple shower heads (some designed to mimic the effects of falling rain or waterfalls), and comfortable seating combine to create an individual, easily controlled experience for each shower.

3. Customized Ambiance: Technology plays a significant role in creating a spa-like atmosphere in the today's bathrooms. At the touch of a button, lighting and music can be set to the desired mood to create a personal experience each time the bath is used.

In the shower, electronic controls for volume, flow, temperature, body sprays and even a favorite song can be preset to make each shower more satisfying.

5. Innovative Storage: Nothing ruins a spa-like mood more than clutter. Storage options should keep your necessities hidden, yet easily accessible. Built-in cabinets behind mirrors or slide out storage under the vanity make the bathroom more functional.
