At-Home Spa

A Japanese inspired garden bathroom setting can be one of the most relaxing and enjoyable.

Having a spa like bathroom as your master bath is the ultimate in luxury and is not too hard to achieve. Whether you can afford a whole bathroom makeover complete with spa tub and steam shower or if you can only afford to change the decor in your bathroom to make it more relaxing and spa like, you can take steps to help create this wonderful setting.

Seattle Example

Miriam and Jay Zacharias of Seattle remodeled their master bathroom because they wanted to be able to soak in greater comfort. Miriam said the old tub was too long for her; she couldn’t sit in it without sliding down and nearly drowning. The new tub, big enough for him but not too big for her, is a whirlpool spa. Miriam said, “We wanted a jetted tub for Jay's therapy because he abuses his muscles as a tri-athlete. I use the jets just to relax.”

The tub surround is next to a his-and-her, twin-basin vanity with plenty of storage space. Beneath the countertop of polished granite, cabinets hold cleaning supplies and other bathroom necessities. Above, vertical storage shelves between the mirrors hold cosmetics, linens, and soaps better than the traditional medicine cabinet or under-the-counter built-in.
