The choice of colors for your bathroom is a crucial step that will quickly determine the atmosphere that will reign there. When choosing colors, consider a palette that will be easy on the eyes and align with the calm, relaxing vibe you want to give the room. White in all its variations is a simple and effective choice, but you can also opt for neutral and warm colors. For example, beige, light grey, cream, and taupe are also great options for your walls or your choice of floor coverings. If you want to have a touch of color in your bathroom, opt for a “seaside” atmosphere that will inspire freshness with shades of blue and turquoise. If you want to adopt a color, but fear the implication, go for colorful accessories such as vases, towels, carpets, etc. This way, when you get tired of that accent color, it will be easier to change it.

Choice of materials

When we think of the spa look, wood definitely comes to mind. It is a material that creates a warm atmosphere while remaining minimalist. Bathrooms are often cold and severe; the addition of wood certainly softens the room. However, we are all very aware that wood and humidity do not mix! Choose water-resistant materials like wood-effect ceramic or vinyl planks. To ensure that the chosen flooring is suitable for a bathroom, please contact a Flordeco expert. He will be able to advise you! You can also install wood-effect ceramic tile on one of your bathroom walls to provide the desired visual effect while ensuring hygiene and durability.
If you work with a smaller room, we advise you to continue tiling from the floor to the ceiling. A continuous clear floor-to-ceiling covering will enlarge the room and give an effect of grandeur.

To give a spa effect to your bathroom, opt for materials with a noble effect. There is no need to affix marble or granite! Adopt a ceramic with a raw material effect such as stone, wood, or marble. You will have a touch of luxury and a bathroom with a sophisticated look for a fraction of the price while making sure to create a soothing and relaxing atmosphere. In addition, as ceramic tiles are durable and easy to maintain, the renovations undertaken will last over time.

The sink cabinet
The sink cabinet is an important part of the spa look bathroom. First, hang your furniture, this way the flooring will extend to the wall and your room will appear larger and more open. Choose furniture in neutral and sober colors or wood effect furniture. If it is possible, go with open storage. When the cabinet is open, store only easily organized items such as towels or use baskets to put the less convenient to dispose products.

Nothing better than a clean and tidy bathroom vanity. For a spa look, declutter the counters, anything not necessary on a day-to-day basis, put them away! Avoid overloading the spaces to leave the room airy and peaceful. Anything left on the surfaces should be place aesthetically. You can use glass jars, wicker baskets and more to dispose of leftover items.
The luminosity

Not all of us are lucky enough to have nice big windows in our bathrooms. If so, maximize the entry of natural light. A frosted film or frosted glass for your windows will allow you to let the light in while maintaining some privacy. If you do not have a window in your room, a soft and less aggressive light will be appropriate. White bulbs are to be forgotten while dimmers are your best friends.
The greenery

Plants are an important part of creating a spa-like bathroom. They will help create a healthy and lively environment. Whether it’s a vertical garden or potted plants, the plants chosen to go in a bathroom must be robust, they must require little light and be made to endure humidity. If you opt for potted plants, consider hanging them to create an “indoor jungle” effect.
The accessories

No more mismatched and faded cotton towels, new cotton towels or ones made of fluffy materials are a must. Nothing says spa like sumptuous, fluffy towels. For your bathmat, opt for a bamboo or cotton mat, both materials easily absorb water and humidity and create a feeling of comfort and warmth. If you want to increase your storage capacity, do so with a towel ladder or well-arranged baskets.
Heated floors
