Bathroom specialists Roper Rhodes are urging homeowners to switch off from the hustle of daily life by creating a spa-like sanctuary within their own home.

By switching up a few key pieces within the bathroom, homeowners can create a space packed with tranquillity.

Zoe Jones, Senior Creative Producer at Roper Rhodes, said: “The bathroom used to be a sanctuary from the world. Now, with smartphones at our fingertips, it’s become a digital battleground. Brushing our teeth while checking work emails has become the norm.

“Bathrooms should be the place for rituals as well as routine and we want to create a space where homeowners can unwind and relax in serenity.”

Here Zoe shares her top tips on how transform the home’s hardest working space into a sanctuary:

Rainfall showers

If budget allows, consider installing a rainfall showerhead that mimics the soothing feel of natural rain and helps your natural circulation. The open, airy design of a walk-in shower also enhances the feeling of freshness and space, setting a positive tone.

Scent

Aromatherapy is key to creating a refreshing environment. Opt for refreshing scents like citrus, peppermint, or eucalyptus to create a fresh, invigorating space.

Natural Light

Bright, crisp light and fresh air are the perfect way to clear your mind and senses. Leave your primary light off and open your windows to make the most of natural light and air.

Consider Colour

Create a gentle colour palette in your bathroom by layering soothing tones such as taupe, warm whites and sage greens and avoid monochrome colours that can jar the eyes and senses.

Natural Materials

Incorporating natural materials like wood, stone, or bamboo into your bathroom can help create a grounding and calming environment. A stone sink, wooden bathmat, or bamboo accessories can introduce an earthy, organic feel, reminding you of the natural world outside and fostering a sense of balance and harmony.

Bathroom Storage

Stylish storage solutions maintain a clutter-free and tranquil bathroom atmosphere. Decorative baskets for towels and bins for frequently used items elevate the aesthetic while keeping essentials within easy reach.
