The Secrets To Achieving Bathroom Bliss Designs

By Janice Nickole

Did you know that the Greek and Romans really founded the relaxation concept of bathroom designs with their "communal baths"? They enjoyed these community soaks incorporating mineral salts they believed to have 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.

Peace and tranquility are the key elements of great bathroom design. It is the design theme that is carried through from start to finish. Our bathrooms should offer us a type of "oasis" to retreat to. A private sanctuary to escape the worries and cares of the world, and slip into a "spa-like" sensation we can enjoy with or without the tub jets.

For the ultimate in relaxation, light fragrant candles, play soft music in the background and soak in hot water mixed with lavender mineral salts. Doesn't this sound like "bathroom bliss"?

This is the secret to achieve the ultimate "bathroom bliss" our health spas today know all to well. They've incorporated all these special relaxation techniques for maximum benefits which we enjoy thoroughly and help us release worries and tensions away.

But the same design concept can be easily achieved in our own bathroom designs no matter how large or small they may be.

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.

You've got an array of bathroom fixtures to choose from when it comes to tubs, sinks, faucets, lighting and flooring. Stick to your design theme and it won't be as hard as you think. The store representatives can help you or consider hiring an Interior Designer. Formal picks can be marble and granite, and casual picks can be travertine or slate.

Top off with design accents like plush towels and accent rugs. Soon you'll have your private "oasis" that you can escape to. It's your "bathroom bliss" that you can enjoy each and every day because you deserve it.
