Creating the Perfect Spa

Modern life is crammed with fifty-hour workweeks, with any free time being filled with meetings, soccer games and obligations to schools and community—the list seems to go on and on. It seems that most people struggle to find a bit of solace in their lives. It seems that there is an endless stream of things to do and very few opportunities to deal the effects of the resulting stress.

As you wind down after a hard day or gear up for a new one, can you think of a better way to relax, clear your mind and get some perspective than by immersing yourself in the comforting elements of a spa right in your own home? Water is the perfect relaxer, especially when combined with aesthetically pleasing accessories. Think out-of-the-box and create your own relaxing space. Even in the smallest bath, there are many spacious, simple solutions available. You might want to try an Asian-inspired open-base vanity and faucet or a traditional console lavatory. Look for new formats in tubs that offer the luxury of a deep soak or the exhilaration of a hydro- and air-jet massage.

For the ultimate wake-up-stimulation or end-of-the-day-relaxation experience, a shower powered by multiple heads and body sprays may be just the thing. Want an even richer spa experience? Consider a combination steam and shower unit. Nowadays, you can effortlessly create the perfect spa bath to suit your needs. Want a true spa feeling? Look for a bidet. The use of these traditionally upscale fixtures is becoming more widespread in new construction and remodeling projects.

Nowadays, there are so many new products available that make retrofitting your existing space practically effortless. Tearing into your bathroom’s drywall is not always necessary These soothing ideas are good options, whether you’re building from the ground up or looking to remodel. There are relaxing options to accommodate any plan, no matter what type of space you’re working with—all with the same luxurious result.
