Portage Experts Give Ideas on Treating Moms to an At-Home Spa Day

Three Ideas for Turning Any Bathroom Into a Spa Haven

Many people wonder just what to get their moms this year to show them how special and loved they are. Yes, mothers deserve to be showered with love and appreciation but not just on Mother’s Day – they deserve this treatment every day. By embarking on a bathroom remodeling adventure, one can turn a bathroom into an oasis of sorts, and moms can relax in their at-home spa whenever they feel overwhelmed or stressed out about life.


The following bathroom design ideas will allow any bathroom remodel project to be turned into an at-home spa retreat.

Step One: Replacing the Showerhead

Homeowners probably don’t realize how advanced showerheads have become. There are showerheads for just about anything nowadays – from built-in speakers for listening to some relaxing music while showering, LED lights to light up the shower space more and give a romantic feeling, and water filtration systems to keep the water clean. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.


Those in the market to replace their showerhead can find showerheads with various features and water-releasing methods, such as showerheads that produce rain shower and waterfall effects and showerheads that release high-pressure and massage-worthy water for perfect relaxation.


These advanced showerheads would be a worthy replacement, but homeowners should choose based on what they suspect their mother would enjoy the most in their shower upgrade.

Step Two: Add a Bathtub for Optimum Relaxation

Showers are nice and are the preferred cleaning method for many homeowners. However, it’s always nice to have a bathtub to relax in, where bathtub installation comes into play.


Bathtubs allow for a romantic candle-lit soaking, a bubble bath, bath beads and salts to soothe and smooth the skin, and more. Several different bathtub types cater to just about everyone’s needs. For example:


  • Tub and shower combos for those who want the best of both worlds but are limited on space
  • Drop-in bathtubs that allow for a lot of customization, such as adding in a custom deck
  • Freestanding bathtubs that allow the user to enjoy the benefits of a long immersion bath
  • Walk-in bathtubs which are great for seniors


When choosing a bathtub, one must consider the space, how one will use the bathtub, and the water heater's capacity to be used in conjunction with the tub.

Step Three: Go Zen

Incorporating a zen aesthetic into a bathroom can provide homeowners with a relaxing and distraction-free area.


Updating a bathroom to have a more zen-like appearance could include a bathroom sink upgrade that corrects the faucets and sinks, adding plants, artwork, candles, textiles, etc. Also, for a Zen-like experience, homeowners should consider using neutral finishes such as wood and stone and adding storage space to help declutter.
