How do you create a luxury home spa?

Are you busy taking care of others? Make space for me-time too! Doing something for yourself is good for you, so you should make room in your life for things that make you happy. The Bathroom is the perfect place to start! Starting your day in a beautiful bathroom gives you a positive mindset for the day – and after a long day, a nice bath or shower is just what you need to relax your mind.  Brabantia will help you give your bathroom the ultimate spa treatment! With luxurious accessories in soothing colours and with these clever tips, you can create a retreat in your own home.

To successfully create a clean design with a luxurious look and feel, colours and textures are important. Style is key to creating atmosphere in the home and often trends will reflect this too; with the right colours, shapes, materials and products, you can create mood and transform any room into a wonderful place to relax. Check out the new trends we use: 

• Colour: Cool black, shades of grey and white create a clean feel. Our MindSet collection has items in timeless Mineral Fresh White and Mineral Infinite Grey. White is of course the colour of freshness and purity, keeping your bathroom feeling stylish with an orderly touch. Its counterpart, Mineral Grey, is strong but elegant and has a luxurious feel. What’s more, it goes well in minimalist and contemporary Scandinavian spaces, but also in classic and rural bathrooms. These colours from our MindSet collection are easy to combine with contrasting natural tones and also work great with accent colours. We love beautiful accent blues, whether it’s crisp light blue or even a bright popping blue.
• Form & Materials: Marble and wood, as well as metallic or high gloss surfaces work beautifully with the powdery textured lacquer of the MindSet collection. Contrast is key.
• Furniture & Products: Minimalist – floating, seamless, handle-free.

2 Get organised

Losing things is stressful. So why not make sure everything is organized in advance? Starting with your bathroom routine. Keep everything tidy using the items in the MindSet collection, such as our Shower Shelf, where you can store the likes of shower gel, your scrub glove, hair products and maybe even a face mask. In fact, face masks are rather relaxing… why not make one? Mix 1 tablespoon of yoghurt, 1 tablespoon of honey and 1 teaspoon of cocoa together. Or, make a mask with green tea – it is purifying and anti-inflammatory! Cut open two green tea bags and mix the contents with 3 tablespoons of honey and a little water to form a soft mask. (A blender or stand mixer is very handy for this.) Next, apply a thick layer to your face and leave for about 15 minutes. Finally, rinse your face well with lukewarm water or of course, take a relaxing shower!

3 Arrange your rest

Make sure you are not disturbed. It's time to really enjoy yourself and cut yourself off from the info-overkill and life’s daily demands. Block some time out- an hour for example. Lock the door, leave your phone outside the bathroom (and put it on silent) and take a magazine or book instead. If you put on some music, you won't hear the sounds from the rest of the house. It's so relaxing.
 
4 Enjoy!

The time has come! Your spa is ready. Take a nice bath or shower with with your favourite shower gel or scrub. Pamper yourself with a mask, do your nails, read a book.
 
5 Enjoy

Bathered up? Wrap a nice soft towel or sauna towel and gently pat your skin dry. Then apply your best cream from head to toe. Then put on your bathrobe and curl up on the sofa or in your bed. Hey, nice!
