Given the importance of an inspiring bathroom with beautiful design, this space is increasingly prioritized in renovations and new builds. A prevailing trend in our homes is to create a bathroom that exudes a hotel or spa atmosphere all year round.

Create a spa-like atmosphere

There are many ways to achieve that luxurious hotel and spa feeling in the bathroom. To begin with, it is wise to let simplicity and consistency guide your renovation. When it comes to materials, hotels and spas often use the same material throughout the entire space. If you do not want to cover your entire bathroom in the same stone, you can achieve a similar effect by combining one type of stone with another material in the same color tone.

To enhance the hotel feeling, a rain shower or massage shower is well worth considering. These create an immediate sense of luxury, and if you also invest in sleek glass shower walls instead of a curtain and rod, the feeling is elevated even further. If you have a spacious bathroom that needs to be filled out, consider a modern bathtub placed slightly centered yet freestanding. This maximizes the spa experience, and few things communicate exclusivity as effectively as minimalism and clean design.

The right lighting for the right mood

When it comes to creating a hotel feel through lighting, it can be as simple as using multiple light sources combined with dimmers. This allows you to lower the brightness and enhance the sense of a calm and tranquil spa environment.

Consistent decoration for a cohesive look

Consistency in interior design plays a crucial role in creating a hotel-like bathroom. In hotels, this consistency extends to walls, floors, ceilings, sinks, and shelving, often complemented by clean and simple decorative elements. Introducing a contrasting color or material can create visual interest. Incorporating natural materials such as wood, rattan, linen, and hemp has become a popular choice, resonating with spa aesthetics and enhancing the overall hotel feel.

Luxurious textiles and thoughtful choices

Soft terry towels, thoughtfully placed and neatly presented, contribute to a hotel-like atmosphere. Matching bathrobes and slippers further elevate the experience. Maintaining consistency in material and decorative choices is essential.

Add greenery for calm and balance

Incorporating plants not only enhances aesthetics but also promotes a calming atmosphere. Choose air-purifying plants if the bathroom has sufficient light. Alternatively, small cut flowers or plant cuttings in a vase can be placed on surfaces such as the sink, shelves, or the edge of the bathtub.

It’s all in the details

When it comes to creating a hotel feel in your bathroom, much of the transformation happens naturally through renovation or refreshing surfaces, fixtures, and installations. However, a large part of the final result lies in the details. It’s about creating a cohesive interior, adding scented sticks or candles, and moving cotton swabs and pads from dull plastic packaging into stylish storage that complements the rest of the bathroom. It doesn’t have to be complicated—and if you still feel unsure, the best inspiration can always be found at a hotel or spa in your own city.
