The feeling you get when visiting a day spa or after taking part in a session of meditation is one that could be recreated within your home with a little thought, time and effort. Continue reading for five ways in which you could succeed in doing this.
Five ways to create a mini-sanctuary within your property
- Your bedroom
The perfect spa experience usually includes a night in a luxury hotel as well. The pristine white sheets, the comfortable bed, the tranquil atmosphere; these are all things you can recreate in your bedroom. First of all, start by decluttering the room. Random ornaments and bits and bobs attract dust. This is not only unsightly, but it can also aggravate asthma and allergies. Consider redecorating to add a touch of class, and you will certainly need to upgrade your bed linen to ensure it is of the finest quality. A couple of strategically placed candles will also help you to relax.
- Your bathroom
It is highly unlikely that your bathroom will resemble the space within an actual spa, but that does not mean you cannot recreate elements of it within yours, whatever the size or contents. First of all, ensuring that the bathroom suite does not resemble some avocado monstrosity from the 1970s is vital. Secondly, investing in few fancy looking bottles can also add a touch of class to a room. Decant your favorite toiletries into those. Add scented candles too. Be sure to get yourself a fluffy white robe and some luxurious-feeling towels too.
- Your garden
Have you ever taken a trip to a special garden with a sensory experience? If not, you are missing out. The chance to practice yoga or meditation, for example, with soft grass underneath your bare feet is a delight. To be sure of replicating that at home, look after your grass and avoid these common mistakes detailed by Lawnstarter. Consider adding a hammock in there too. This will allow relaxation in the shade, if you are able to place between two trees. Choosing a selection of herbs to be planted in an area of your garden can help too. You must also not forget the importance of a table and chairs. Sipping on a glass of bubbly is a must at a day space, so indulge in this and treat yourself.
- Your windowsill
This might not work for everyone. It is dependent on having a certain feature within your property, although it could be adapted for another small space that seems too good to waste. If you have a deep, low windowsill, using it to create a book nook is an excellent idea. Simply invest in some long seat cushions that fit and a few scatter cushions too. Add a few well-chosen books and there you have it. A place to soak up the sun as well as take time for yourself while indulging in quality reading time.
- Your lounge
Putting your feet up after a long day at work or home can feel like bliss. However, if your surroundings are not right, it may feel more like a struggle when you are unable to get your brain to switch off. Invest in a decent sound system and play some relaxing music. Surround yourself with luxurious blankets and cushions. Fall into a deep state of relaxation, let the stress ebb away and allow yourself important time to yourself. Aromatherapy oils can also add a nice touch.
