Interior: Transform your builder-grade to a spa-like primary ensuite bathroom (Studio ALC)

March 20, 2024 in Interiors

If you want a serene spa-like primary bathroom in your own home, take a look at this bathroom remodel for inspiration. Studio ALC turned their clients’ builder-grade bathroom into a calming oasis.

To create a spa-like atmosphere, consider natural materials like wood and stone. This combination can add warmth and a welcoming effect. You can also include earthy tones or calming neutrals.

Embrace tranquil design elements

Incorporate design elements that promote relaxation and serenity like a freestanding soaker tub or a rainfall shower head for a luxurious bathing experience.

Enhance the lighting in your bathroom with dimmable fixtures to create a soft ambiance. Details like bamboo accessories bring a sense of tranquility to the space.

Add accessories and details

To complete the transformation, pay attention to the details. Plush towels, bamboo bath mats, and a cozy robe can increase the comfort of the space. Choose decorative accents like scented candles, essential oil diffusers, or artwork to include your personal style into the design. Keep the space clutter-free, visually and physically.

Enjoy your spa at home

Once your bathroom project is finished, enjoy your at-home spa to rejuvenate. Treat yourself to a relaxing bubble bath, refresh with a skincare routine, or just unwind and rejuvenate in your personal retreat.

Went on a 🟡💛⭐️🟨 colour hunt in Japan and Taiwan ☺️ Which one’s your favourite? I love the ones with the ginkgo tree and flatbed truck.

When this long kitchen was divided by a peninsula, @belyndacheninteriors changed the layout and flow by turning it into an island. This created more countertop space for food prep, more storage, and still included seating.
