A spa trip is the perfect way to rejuvenate but can leave a hole in stretched budgets. Instead, try these affordable tricks to turn your bathroom into a relaxation haven.
Eucalyptus is calming and can also relieve congestion. You will often smell this essential oil when visiting a spa. To get the same effect, simply hang a few branches in your bathroom.
Clear out products you do not need or use to create a more calming space. Small storage baskets can be useful for packing up bath toys and any other clutter.
Changing your showerhead is a relatively cheap way to start a bathroom upgrade. Rainfall heads mimic drops from the sky and feel particularly luxurious and relaxing. You can get one for around £14.
Big, fluffy towels are comforting after a bath or shower. Also, add half a cup of vinegar when you wash your towels to help soften them.
A scented candle in the bathroom can create a more tranquil environment and help to promote relaxation and a sense of wellbeing.
A quick lick of paint could make a big difference to your bathroom, especially if it is decorated with harsh or stark tones. Instead, try soft, neutral colours to calm the senses
