Egyptian Bath Towels Are Best For A Home Spa
Is your bath a little worn out or dated? Are you longing for a place you can relax, unwind and luxuriate, as you do at your favorite spa? We’ve gathered some tips from top bathroom designers to help you recreate a spa experience at home. With ideas for everything from toiletry containers to Egyptian bathroom towels to lighting, these tips will help you create your own zen-luscious space.
The best way to start overhauling your bath is to imagine what a real spa looks like. Chances are, low lights, earth shades and thick towels will come to mind. The towels in particular are likely to be Egyptian bath towels, an essential in many relaxation centers. Keep this main image of an ideal bath while redecorating.
#1- Remove what’s not necessary.
An old bath can quickly and understandably accumulate countless bottles and bath items. Avoid stuffing your counter or shelves with everything bath related. If you have so many different shampoo bottles in display for example, you can just tuck the four or five brands that you don’t really use everyday. As much as possible, have only essential items on display such as cotton buds, soap bars, conditioner and the like. Add a few Egyptian bath towels in a rack to complete your bath’s new, cleaner look.
#2- Reduce lighting.
Don’t let bright lights steal the relaxing atmosphere of a bathroom. The most ideal solution is to replace bright bulbs with more toned down ones. For a thoroughly classy look, get fixtures that come in steel or iron. You can also settle for fixtures with shades.
Changing lights can be a bit expensive. You can therefore opt for a dimmer instead. Always keep in mind that spas are best with soft lights.
#3- Pick authentic Egyptian bath towels.
One of the best moments you can ever experience in life is getting wrapped up in fluffy towels. Among those that are the best in quality are made of high grade Egyptian cotton. You’ve probably been introduced to luxurious Egyptian bath towels in a top spa. You can always just buy your own towels and enjoy them everyday at home. Buy as many as you can afford so there’s always a fresh stack of them waiting for you or your guests.
#4- Include some candles to round up your spa set-up.
No spa is complete without candles here and there. Settle for the usual tea light in small containers or votives in intricate iron holders. You can also put some of them close to your Egyptian bath towels rack as decorative accents. Make your spa even more appealing and relaxing by using scented candles. Skip the fruit or flower scents though. These might make you more excited than relaxed.
#5- Choose the color of earth.
Nothing sets off crisp white Egyptian bath towels like a warm sandstone or cinnamon wall color. Think back to your day spa experience. What color were the walls? Odds are they were either clean warm white, or a rich deep earth tone. Avoid primary colors and bright pastels. There’s nothing spa-like about them.
These five tips can help you design and create your own affordable and luxurious spa retreat in your own home. Be careful though. You might wrap yourself up in thick Egyptian bathroom towels and never leave!
