Tips To Making Your Bathroom Interior Beautiful

By Janice Nickole

Did you know that bathroom designs date far back to the Greek and Roman days who really founded the idea that relaxation can be enjoyed in a big spa-like bathtub filled with mineral salts? They actually enjoyed it with other members of the community in a "communal bath" and believed the mineral salts contained healing properties.

Gone are the communal baths today, but we have incorporated the principal of healing and relaxation techniques into our bathroom designs. Now bathtubs with jets like Jacuzzi's are used while mineral salts like lavender soothe and comfort our sore muscles.

The key elements of good bathroom design are peace and tranquility and no doubt introduce the "bathroom bliss" we all strive to achieve. This room is your private sanctuary to unwind and escape the cares of this world. It is the design theme you should start and finish with.

Maximum comfort is achieved when fragrant candles are lit and flames are dancing to soft music in the background. Don't forget the lavender mineral salts for a hot and aromatic soak.

This is the secret that most health spas use today. They know how to incorporate the maximum benefits of relaxation techniques to relieve our tension and stress we all tend to bring home from the office. In essence they have achieved the ultimate in "bathroom bliss".

But did you know it is easy to achieve the same design concept in our own bathrooms, no matter how small or large they are?

Start with a design theme that will introduce calmness to the room, like a Japanese or English garden for example. Also your color theme will be just as important. You can choose cool colors like blues and greens or warm colors that include reds, oranges and gold.

Today's bathroom fixtures are limitless with so many styles, colors and shapes to choose from. Remember to stick to your design theme when selecting your tubs, sinks, faucets, lighting and flooring. The store representatives can help you or consider hiring an Interior Designer. A more formal and luxurious pick may be granite and marble. A more casual direction may be slate or travertine.

Don't forget your accents. Like plush towels resting on a towel warmer and plush carpeting or accent rugs you can sink your toes into after that unforgettable and relaxing soak. Just think, you can always escape into your "bathroom bliss" again tomorrow.
