Superb SPAS At Home
Home & Decor Malaysia|November 2019
Give your old and grimy bathrooms an upgrade! Trade in the bathroom you barely spend time in for a perfectly-fitted home spa in which you can relax and have some quality alone-time. Building a home spa makes for a daunting project, but it’s well worth the effort!

Superb SPAS At Home

1 A DESIGN PLAN

The bathroom presents an opportunity for you to unleash your creative streak! Break away from the seamless aesthetics of your home with your choice of washbasins and bathroom furniture. It’ll be a fun little surprise for your houseguests, who will never be able to guess what they’d find behind the closed bathroom doors!

2 SOAK IT UP!

Sit or recline comfortably in a Victorian-styled bathtub and enjoy a warm and nourishing milk and honey bath, a short herb-infused healing bath or a simple refreshing dip. If not indoors, treat yourself to a good oldfashioned soak outdoors amid lush greenery! You can also spice things up with a light dusting of rose petals and essential oils.

ROOM TO PLAY, IDEAL PLACEMENT

If space is scarce, a bathtub and shower combo is the way to go! Make better use of space within a bathroom by installing alcoves and corner bathtubs.

DESIGNS TAKE CENTRE STAGE.

A bathtub evokes a serene ambience. Classy boat baths spell luxury while unconventional textured eggshaped bathtubs made of natural stone exude a sense of cosiness. Sunken bathtubs are equally unique! They can be placed on a raised platform or left to blend seamlessly into your floor, creating TurkishVictorian “pool-like” aesthetics.

MYTH DEBUNKED

Modern designs with an emphasis on depth rather than length bring an immersive experience. Sitting and soaking tubs debunk the general myth of smaller bathrooms not being able to accommodate freestanding bathtubs.
