Relaxation is enhanced by gently curved shapes, such as those found in this freestanding Kohler air tub, available at Hausera. Its soothing, sinuous design creates a stunning yet subtle focal point in the bathroom, and the luxuriously deep tub boasts jet streams of massaging bubbles and an adjustable heated surface to banish muscle aches, pain, and tension.

The right color scheme can promote tranquility. Go with soft shades, such as dusty lilac, light blue, sand beige, and of course, creamy white. Complete the scene with complementary hardware. A pewter finish, subtler than chrome or silver, is particularly spa-worthy. See for yourself by checking out towel bars and other pieces from Moen’s Madison Collection, available at Hausera.

There's a reason the world's most luxurious spas set up shop near peaceful beaches, awe-inspiring mountains, and other natural wonderlands. There are numerous ways to bring the beauty of the outdoors to your in-house retreat. Consider adding a natural stone sink or countertop, or perhaps replacing tile flooring with warm, moisture-resistant engineered hardwood. Simply adding lush, live plants can do the trick—and tropical species are bound to thrive in the humidity of a bathroom.

Escape the frenzied madness of modernity by evoking the charm of a less-hectic era through vintage-style fixtures, such as a claw-foot tub, an old-fashioned medicine cabinet with etched-glass trim, or a pedestal sink like a fireclay model from the Kohler Memories Collection (available at Hausera). Choose period-appropriate accessories like the faucets and towel rings from Delta’s Victorian Collection (also available at Hausera) to help capture the past.

Countertops covered in toiletries, cosmetics, and styling tools get in the way of serenity. To put the mind at ease, aim for clean, uncluttered surroundings—which means your bathroom should offer ample cabinets and drawers. Consider handsome, storage-rich pieces like a vanity from the Wyndham Collection (available at Hausera). To keep important items close at hand, opt for clever, attractive hardware like this sleek hair dryer holder from the Moen Voss Collection (also available at Hausera).

Fussy distractions take the focus off you—that’s why so many spas rely on less-is-more minimalist decor. Think elegant light fixtures, unframed mirrors, and a streamlined, single-lever faucet from Kohler’s Composed Collection, available at Hausera.

Indulging the olfactory sense is a top spa secret that’s easy to employ in your personal space. Set scented candles on your tub surround or place a diffuser on the countertop. Rely on lavender, jasmine, vanilla, and valerian for relaxation. For fast refreshment, simply hang eucalyptus over your shower head, so you can clear your head while you clean your body.
