TICK OFF OUR ESSENTIALS TO ACHIEVE A SPACE PERFECT FOR PAMPERING AND RELAXATION
1. ELEGANT WALL LIGHTS
Like any other room in your home, there should be the option of different light levels in your bathroom, not just the ceiling lights. Wall lights wired on a separate switch will allow you to create a cosy, intimate space, ideal for long soaks in the tub. A great spot to place them is either side of a wall mirror, above a vanity unit, helpful when applying make-up or contact lenses.
Tacoma wall lights, from £133 each, Astro Lighting.
2. SUMPTUOUS SCENTS
The easiest and quickest way to transform your bathroom into a spa-like space is with gorgeous fragrances from candles, diffusers and room sprays. Lighting a candle fills the room with scent and will lift your mood, relax your mind and transport you to somewhere fabulous.
Scented candles, from £12, The White Company
3. STONE FLOORING
