In a time where the home now doubles as an office, school, playground, and dining hall, we could all benefit from designating space for relaxation and self-care.
Our team at Signature Homes by JT Maloney are sensitive to the fear and uncertainty of these times. As we look to one another for support, we want to do our part by helping each of you find peace at home. Here are six ways to treat yourself, by transforming the bathroom into an at-home spa area.
Rejuvenating DIY Facials
Enhance your skin care regimen by pampering yourself with a rejuvenating home facial. Try making your own skin care remedies with ingredients from the kitchen. Check out tips on TheHealthy.com for details on DIY face masks for every skin type.
Master the Mani/Pedi
Although salons may be closed, there is no need to neglect your nails. Learn how to provide yourself an at-home manicure and pedicure. Care for your nails by practicing filing, buffing and painting. Once you have mastered the manicure and pedicure, teach others, and enjoy this as an activity to connect with family members.
Soak in Serenity
Our Signature Homes by JT Maloney are designed with state-of-the-art bathtubs. Soak and unwind by adding salts, bubbles, essential oils or milks to bath water. Consider pure Epsom salt to ease muscle pains and soreness, or coconut milk to smooth and hydrate skin. For more bath water additions, check out this list by Hello Glow. Once your bath is ready, set the mood with a candle, combined with soothing music and a drink of your choice for the perfect relaxation remedy.
Declutter the Vanity
Bring tranquility to the bathroom for the ultimate spa experience. Transform room space into a personal oasis by decluttering and reorganizing bathroom items. With more time at home, you can finally go through the medicine cabinet and remove any expired or unnecessary products. Keep only the essentials you need out in the open, and shed the excess by clearing the vanity surface and moving health and beauty products into drawers and cabinets. With surfaces clear, you will feel at ease each time you enter your Signature Homes bathroom.
Wrap Up with Luxurious Bath Towels
The softer and bigger, the better. The average bathroom towel size is 30” x 56”. Loop size and high quality cotton make all the difference in absorption and comfort. Go big and wrap yourself in luxury with a high end 33” x 70” bathroom towel. Consumer Reports gives an unbiased review on how to pick the best towels. For added comfort, order online and install a bath towel warmer. When you step out of the bath or shower a fluffy and warm bath towel will be waiting to greet you from a heated bar.
Nature for the Nose
It is amazing how auroma can help you relax. The sense of smell plays an important role in the physiological effects of mood and stress. A simple way to transform bathroom space into a spa is with an essential oil diffuser. With many scents to choose from, the most popular spa scents include chamomile, jasmine, sandalwood and lavender fragrance. Hang a fresh bundle of eucalyptus from the showerhead for a simple do-it-yourself fragrance. The steam from the showerhead will push fresh minty air throughout the room space.
While nesting in place, this is the perfect time to imagine your dream home. At Signature Homes by JT Maloney we can build you a custom home spa equipped with a soaker tub, steam shower, luxurious vanity and specialty lighting designed for relaxation. We can incorporate a sound system into bathroom space to pipe in soothing sounds of waterfalls and wind chimes. It is always nice to dream big. A relaxing and healthy home is a happy home.
