With a little inspiration and minor investments, you can turn your bathroom into a relaxing sanctuary, where you can clean your mind, not just your body.

Here are some Zen ideas from premier bathroom renovation Denver showrooms:

• Create the perfect lighting

One of the first things that sets the mood in a bathroom is lighting. It doesn’t have to be too strong; it can become unpleasant to relax in the bathtub when you have three 100 watt bulbs above your head.

Install a dimmer switch so you can set the intensity according to your preferences or the time of day. Use light bulbs as close to natural light as possible and place candles in the room to create a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere.

• Bring nature to your bathroom

A Zen experience is not complete if you do not surround yourself with nature. Place a few flower pots on the bathroom cabinets, or even a larger plant in a corner. Also, if you have pebbles and shells hidden somewhere in the house,  collected during the last vacation spent by the sea, put them in a glass bowl and place them among soaps and body care products.

• Don’t forget about aromatherapy

The smell is one of the senses that needs to be pampered, so another important element of a successful SPA experience is aromatherapy. Equip your bathroom with scented incense sticks, candles and essential oils. Always choose natural products.
