Can you believe that this bathroom used to be a laundry room/closet? In THIS POST, you can see the full remodel of taking a utility room, tiny bathroom, and hallway to create a Master Bathroom for our Historic home.
This post is dedicated to the zen that happens when you wind down. I am a bath junkie, and love a good soak. For the Perfect evening wind down, I recommend the following:
- Get a dimmer for your bathroom light. Usually dimmers are left for dining rooms, but having one in your bathroom is a game changer. It’s perfect for late night/early morning stumbles to the watercloset to see where you are going without a full shock of light to the eyes. Even better, you’ll be thrilled you have the ability to dim when you are getting ready for your candlelit bath. (Purchase the dimmer I use here)
- Add a plant. A pop of green and life will make you happy, plus it’s healthy. Indoor plants clean indoor air, absorb toxins and exchange back oxygen to use.
- Use a teak shower bench. They are durable to withstand water and humidity, give a good spot to sit when shaving, and can add extra storage.
- Hang a painting. As you know, I am a firm believer that art should always be “real”. Find some local artists that you love. It is a great way to support their business while adding character to rooms.
- Have a bath line-up basket. I believe in keeping things extra tidy, and to use storage for products to eliminate visual pollution. I grab my basket when I am headed to the tub, and unroll the bath mat then, too.
- Listen to a podcast. Give your eyes a rest, and catch up on audio content or some good music to have calm energy in the room.
