How to Create a Luxurious Spa Experience at Home

Who says that you have to leave your home for a luxurious and relaxing spa experience? Instead of spending a fortune on a day in a spa, you should create one on your own and spend considerably less money. In addition, having your personal spa will provide you with flexibility and different possibilities to indulge yourself and your senses with everything you can imagine. With just a few simple steps, you’ll have a truly relaxing spa experience at home.

The area for relaxation

Although picking your bathroom to be your home spa is an obvious choice, you can also transform your bedroom into a relaxing sanctuary. Your choice of area will depend on the type of treatments you want – for a soothing bath, the bathroom is the logical choice. In addition, it’s easy to clean, so you won’t have to worry about making a mess. However, your bedroom is another great option, especially for a relaxing and comfortable nap or if you ask your partner to give you a massage.

Feng shui for tranquillity and peacefulness

Once you’ve chosen the room for your home spa, you can follow the principles of feng shui to maximize the flow of positive energy and create an atmosphere of calmness. You should eliminate clutter that can make you feel crowded and uneasy. If there are any broken items in the room, get rid of them because they can bring about negative energy and agitation. If your space is too small, you can introduce a mirror to create an illusion of spaciousness and airiness. It’s important that you feel as comfortable as possible because it’s your day for relaxation.

A room detox

Even if you completely rearrange your home spa according to the feng shui principles, it can still be stuffy or humid. This is why you should take some time to detox and clean your room from possible hazards. Keep your bathroom dry to eliminate mold and humidity, and make sure to purify your bedroom from allergens. To create an atmosphere of freshness and airiness, you need to increase the indoor air quality by introducing an air purifier. However, before buying one, make sure to take a look at reliable air purifier reviews to get the best value for money. You can also add several plants to create the spa-like atmosphere and keep your room fresh.

Setting the mood

After eliminating all unnecessary items from your home spa, you can move on to setting the mood. This is where lighting plays an important role, so use it wisely. The best way to create an ambiance of relaxation is by using scented candles. Apart from giving out a gentle, warm glow, candles can be used for a specific purpose thanks to their scent. While the aroma of lavender can help you relieve stress, geranium and jasmine scents are perfect for an evening relaxation. But why stop there? To make your home spa experience complete, put on some super comfy slippers and a soft robe.

Playing the tunes

Another important step in recreating the spa-like atmosphere is choosing background music. You can always play your favorite songs, but it’s better to choose a relaxing playlist that will inspire a feeling of tranquillity. Choose a playlist that lasts a bit longer so that you won’t have to get out of your bath to find another one.

It’s time for spa treatments

If you have several treatments in mind, you should be careful with the order – a manicure shouldn’t come before a body scrub. You can make your own face mask without any harmful substances, and make your skin healthy and fresh. Just make sure to cleanse your face before applying the mask. Afterward, remove the mask with a warm towel and then apply a moisturizer.

When it comes to relaxing spa bath, there are several things to keep in mind. You need to keep a bottle of water nearby to stay hydrated, and a cold compress towel that you can place on your neck or forehead. Of course, you cannot have a relaxing bath without aromatic bath salts. This is just a perfect way to end a busy day and relieve stress.

Creating your own home spa is neither difficult nor expensive. All you need is to prepare your room, set the mood and then indulge yourself with relaxing treatments.
