Make Your Bathroom the Ultimate Paradise
Most people spend a lot of time in the bathroom .
It ’ s a functional space where you can bathe , get ready for the day , and take care of business . However , the bathroom can be so much more than that : It can offer a place to de-stress , relax and recharge before taking on the morning or after conquering a long day .
Now you can escape to your own paradise without leaving home . These simple tips and tricks from lifestyle and parenting expert Jordan Reid of Ramshackle Glam can help you transform your bathroom into a spa-like oasis without undergoing a major renovation .
The new brushed gold finish from Moen is one of our favorites this season
1 . Don ’ t be scared to play with lighting , as it helps create a room ’ s atmosphere . Use multi-bulb lighting fixtures paired with warm LEDs . For a sunset-on-the-beach vibe , try pink bulbs in the bathroom with your regular lighting . Together , they can create a rosy glow that ’ s the perfect aesthetic for relaxing .
2 . To immerse yourself in the sand and sun , use collections of gold-framed mirrors . Adding mirrors is a simple way to bounce additional light around the room , and the gold adds a warm hue , so they are both functional and aesthetically pleasing .
3 . Bathrooms can have greenery in them , too . Plants such as philodendrons and bromeliads can add an element of airiness and life , and both can be found in realistic faux styles if your bathroom is not conducive to the real thing .
4 . Don ’ t be afraid to accessorize your bathroom with items that fit your style and personality . For your paradise getaway , a bamboo bath mat can create a beachy vibe that ’ s also chic and modern , and Turkish towels can add texture and color . Even smaller items , such as jewelry stands , towel hooks and toilet paper holders , can show off your unique aesthetic and make your escape truly your own .
5 . Keep your bathroom sparkling and stunningly clean - and smelling great . Don ’ t forget to clean frequently overlooked places like the back of the toilet , inside the shower and along the edges of fixtures . Scented cleaning products like those from the Clorox Scentiva Pacific Breeze and Coconut lines , including bathroom foaming cleaner , toilet cleaning gel , multi-surface spray and disinfecting wipes , not only deliver a refreshing clean , but can also help transport you to a relaxing paradise with aromas of coconut , pineapples and warm sandalwood .
