1. Declutter
Imagine coming home to a pile of sopping clothes on the bathroom floor and a slew of toiletries jumbled in a disarray on your counter-definitely not a sight for sore eyes. Cluttered bathrooms will undoubtedly crank up the stress levels, which is the probably the very antithesis of a spa.

2. Get creative with the storage
As mentioned earlier, clutter is the ultimate foe of all things serene and peaceful. Get creative with the storage like woven baskets and clear jars

3. Go for neutral colours
When decorating your bathroom, opt for neutral, earthy colours that create a zen ambience. Forego the bold and brazen colours that will invariably ruin the serene vibe.

5. Incorporate nature
Incorporate house-plants and flowers to create a bright and lively atmosphere. Something as simple as a potted plant or a vase of fresh flowers goes a long way in creating a light and airy vibe in the bathroom

6. Fluffy is the way to go
Fluffy towels and a soft rug are indeed the way to go in creating a soothing retreat of relaxation. Opt for white towels for an understated yet polished feel.

7. Scent is key
An unpleasant odour is a sure-fire way to kill off the luxurious environment. Essential oils and scented candles work wonders in getting rid of unwanted smells
