subject: Egyptian Bath Towels Are Best For A Home Spa [print this page] Is your bath a little worn out or dated? Are you longing for a place you can relax, unwind and luxuriate, as you do at your favorite spa? We've gathered some tips from top bathroom designers to help you recreate a spa experience at home. With ideas for everything from toiletry containers to Egyptian bath towels to lighting, these tips will help you create your own zen-luscious space.
The best way to start overhauling your bath is to imagine what a real spa looks like. Chances are, low lights, earth shades and thick towels will come to mind. The towels in particular are likely to be Egyptian bath towels, an essential in many relaxation centers. Keep this main image of an ideal bath while redecorating.
#1- Remove what's not necessary.
Bathrooms that have been in use for years typically end up with so much stuff in them. Focus on eliminating all the clutter and sticking with the essentials. If you have a hundred bath soaps of different brands, pick only the one or two that you often use and store all the others. Also, keep in your bathroom only those items that are useful such as cotton swabs, toothpaste, soap and shampoo to name a few. Top the essential look with a stack of Egyptian bath towels on a shelf.
#2- Dim the lights.
If you can afford to, consider replacing your bright bathroom fixtures with a more contemporary subdued style. Look for black iron or polished steel, with heavily frosted shades. This will still offer enough task lighting, without lighting up the entire room.
Can't afford to replace the fixtures? Add a dimmer switch so you can at least tone it down a little bit. Soft lighting is the key to a spa-like experience in your own home.
#3- Stack up on Egyptian bath towels.
One of the best moments you can ever experience in life is getting wrapped up in fluffy towels. Among those that are the best in quality are made of high grade Egyptian cotton. You've probably been introduced to luxurious Egyptian bath towels in a top spa. You can always just buy your own towels and enjoy them everyday at home. Buy as many as you can afford so there's always a fresh stack of them waiting for you or your guests.
#4- Add candles for soft light and scents.
No spa is complete without candles here and there. Settle for the usual tea light in small containers or votives in intricate iron holders. You can also put some of them close to your Egyptian bath towels rack as decorative accents. Make your spa even more appealing and relaxing by using scented candles. Skip the fruit or flower scents though. These might make you more excited than relaxed.
#5- Add a warm earth tone to the walls.
Nothing sets off crisp white Egyptian bath towels like a warm sandstone or cinnamon wall color. Think back to your day spa experience. What color were the walls? Odds are they were either clean warm white, or a rich deep earth tone. Avoid primary colors and bright pastels. There's nothing spa-like about them.
These five tips can help you design and create your own affordable and luxurious spa retreat in your own home. Be careful though. You might wrap yourself up in a thick Egyptian bathroom towel and never leave!
