The demands of modern-day living can leave us feeling tired, stressed and anxious. With the ongoing global pandemic adding to these feelings, designers have seen a steady increase in the popularity of relaxing, spa-like spaces in the home. The importance of self-care and occasionally disconnecting from our screens cannot be overstated. That’s why today’s post is all about spa master bathroom ideas that can help you unwind in the comfort of your own home. 

Natural Stone Bliss

One of the most powerful ways to recreate that traditional spa-like feel is to incorporate natural features like plants, wood and natural stone. With so many gorgeous colors and patterns available, natural stone can work wonders when used with intention. Soothing colors like blue, green, grey and white can create a sense of calm and connection to the natural world, while dreamy, swirling patterns can have a soothing effect. On the other end of the spectrum, dramatic colors and patterns can help create a sense of energy and movement, helping you recharge and awakening your creative senses.

An integral part of recreating the spa experience lies in creating a sense of luxury and self-care. By incorporating natural stone into your master bathroom, you can truly elevate the sense of luxury in your space, creating your own private refuge from the world. 

Tips for Incorporating Natural Stone

  • Marbles like Calacatta can create a soft, soothing and luxurious look.
  • Granite and quartzite both hold up well to everyday wear and tear and are easy to maintain.
  • Honed, textured or matte stone finishes, rather than polished finishes, can add a soft look and luxurious feel.  
  • Using decorative edge types, like an ogee edge for vanity countertops can add a sense of spa-inspired detail and luxury.
  • Natural stone can retain heat. As a result, it makes a great option for heated flooring. 
  • Warm-toned stones like Magma Gold and Golden Paradise pair well with wooden tones and features.

Tips for Maximizing the Spa Experience at Home

  • Reduce sensory stimuli and avoid bringing screens into the bathroom space.
  • Keep things clean and simple, removing as much clutter as possible. 
  • Avoid using bright lights, highly reflective/shiny surfaces and flashy colors. Instead, opt for matte, soft finishes and muted color tones.
  • Incorporate relaxing audio into your space, either by playing sounds like wind chimes, birdsongs or relaxing music, or by using features like indoor water fountains to foster a sense of connection with nature.
  • Make luxury a part of your design plan by installing “pampering” additions like towel warmers and heated flooring.
  • Arrange furniture in a way that maximizes openness. 
  • Allow as much natural light in as possible, as this not only helps improve mood, but also helps reset our circadian rhythms. 

Maintenance Tips for Natural Stone in a Bathroom

Natural stone is a long-term investment, and while some stones require more care than others, all types of stone require some measure of care. To protect your investment, be sure to take the following steps:

  • Most types of natural stone require regular sealing to protect it from moisture damage and staining. Check out our blog post all about sealing natural stone for an in-depth look at this topic.
  • Use mild soap or a dedicated stone cleaner on stone surfaces to remove soap scum and other types of build-up. Always be sure to rinse the stone thoroughly and dry it off with a soft cloth, such as a microfiber cloth. 
  • Cleaning and sealing grout can keep your bathroom looking fresh and luxurious.
  • Ensure that the space is well ventilated and whenever possible, wipe down, rinse and dry stone surfaces after use. 
  • Stones like marble require diligent maintenance to help keep it looking gorgeous. Our post on how to clean a marble shower provides helpful tips for daily cleanings, as well as deep cleaning.
