There’s nothing quite like spending a luxurious day at the spa. Everything about it is soothing, but it really is the details that make the experience. While it may not be practical to hire a live-in massage therapist and aesthetician, you can recreate your bathroom in the image of a five-star spa and get the experience daily.

Soak Away Your Stress

Choosing the right bathtub is a big part of transforming your bathroom into your own personal oasis. Here are three of our favorite bathtubs to get you started.

• Sleek Kohler Tub for an Alcove Bath

If your bathroom has a three-sided bathtub alcove and you like the footprint, you’ll need to choose a tub that fits your space. Kohler is a brand we trust in general – they have a long history of great products. This angular version of an alcove tub takes advantage of the available space while giving an upgraded look and feel. The molded lumbar support and slotted overflow makes for a comfortable soak. And if this design is too modern, there are more classic shapes available. 

• Iron Clawfoot Tub 

There are few statements bigger than a clawfoot tub. At almost 68” long, this freestanding work of art is just, well, a work of art that also is comfortable to decompress from the day in. 

• Handcrafted Freestanding Concrete Bathtub 

Sometimes you have to throw caution to the wind and go for the bold option. This gorgeous bathtub is that option. We need to be clear, if you want this tub, it will be the focal point of your bathroom redesign. As a handmade product the manufacturer recommends waiting until it has been delivered to make final build adjustments to account for the variance in size. The concrete is reinforced with natural jute making it resistant to cracks and stains as well as considerably lighter than standard concrete. Thick, smoothly sloped sides give you a comfortable soak that lasts longer due to excellent heat insulation. 

Make Your Shower High-Tech

Prefer a refreshing shower instead? You don’t have to enjoy soaking to have a decadent bathing experience. Upgrade your shower to a whole experience with technology. Kohler has a fully customizable line of digital shower systems. 

You have the ability to control up to three spray outlets depending on which model you choose. Customize power, temperature, and flow – then create presets of your favorite shower sequences. While we were promised jetpacks, getting The Jetsons shower is a decent consolation. 

The Details Make a Big Difference

Regardless of where you stand on the bath versus shower debate, one thing we can all agree on: towel warmers will change your day. It’s simple, but having a fluffy, warm towel waiting for you feels decadent every time. 

Upgrade your water heater to a tankless model (as long as it’s the right size for your home, otherwise you’ll need multiple water heaters) to enjoy virtually unlimited hot water. 

A dedicated Bluetooth compatible speaker is great to either listen to your favorite podcast or to create a relaxing spa-like atmosphere, but only if the acoustics are right (we can help with that). 

All that’s left is to pour yourself a beverage of your choice and enjoy your own, personal spa.Debowsky Design Group is ready to get started on your at-home spa redesign.
