Creating a Spa-Like Master Bath

Thu, 01 Dec 2011 by Allen, Kristi

The best way to create a spa-like bathroom is to start with a clean, fresh color palette. Of course I love the simple white and green palette of the McArthur Homes Award-Winning Parade Home, the Cordova. Built in Lehi at our Thanksgiving Meadows neighborhood, this home was extremely popular with parade-goers. The white octagon tile caused quite a debate. People either loved it or hated it. I'm on the love-it side myself. :) The cultured marble shower and garden soaker tub (a must for a spa-like bathroom) are included by Utah home builder, McArthur Homes, making this an affordable and stylish bathroom.

This luxurious bathroom is right up my alley also! Here, the details combine to create a spa-like experience. Want to add a touch of day-spa to your own new home? Add rolled white towels on a shelf or tucked underneath a bench. I tried this in my master bath and LOVE it! Other details include a small makeup mirror, sconces flanking the mirrors for ideal lighting and plenty of candles.

Excuse me while I just drool over these white marble countertops. Marble is probably the thing I love most in the world of interior design. Yum!

The tub shown below is another favorite detail. I can't imagine bathing my kids in it, but I guess that is what makes it feel even more relaxing!

And here's one more simple way to transform your bathroom into a spa-like sanctuary. Just add a couple of towel hooks and two white robes. I feel more relaxed already! :)
