Have a spa-like experience in your home with these easy, budget-friendly bathroom ideas.
The Nest // The Nest

Remove Doors

It may sound crazy, but removing your shower door and opening the space will give an airy and spa-like feel to your loo. A refreshing palette of blues and greens suggests cleanliness and freshness and fosters a tranquil atmosphere of spareness and simplicity.

Use Neutral Tones

Previous Slide A modern bathroom Next Slide

Make your bathroom a soothing and personal space with neutral tiles and sepia-toned photos. Even simple photos look chic when framed and hung uniformly over the tub. A plush rug draped over the tub keeps the bathroom floor clutter-free.

Decorate with Shells

Try a Trough-Style Sink

Previous Slide A bathroom with trough sink Next Slide

If your bathroom is large, keep the look modern and sleek with an extra-long sink that accommodates two instead of a his-and-hers model. The Zen-like feeling continues to the shower with a floor-to-ceiling glass stall and pebble floor.

Display Pretty Toiletries

Previous Slide Trinkets in bathroom Next Slide

Spas often have terry towel accessories (personalize your toiletry bag as an extra touch) and other pampering treats, so use this easy trick in your bathroom. Pick up a few specialty soaps and pretty bath gels and group with coral on a mirrored tray.

This seascaped bathroom looks like the perfect place to unwind after a long, stressful day. Even if you live in an urban area, a large wallpaper mural of waves will turn your bathroom into a seaside retreat.

Bring in Botanicals

Previous Slide A bathroom with leaf accents Next Slide

Turn your shower into a natural oasis with a large leaf or a few eucalyptus branches. When your shower is on, it'll be a steamy and refreshing experience. The organic feel of this bathroom is enhanced by the leaf print and the neutral tones of the tile.
