Bath time can be the most relaxing and enjoyable time of the day. There are so many different things that you can use to make your bathing experience more relaxing and enjoyable. Let's talk about some of the things that can enhance your relaxation.
How to relax:
Your bathtub can be a major part of your relaxation time. There are many different kinds of tubs available now to fit everyone's needs. Most people have standard size tubs for one person, which can also be very relaxing. Just add some things around it to make it more enjoyable. Fill up the tub with your favorite scented bubbles or relaxing oils. The hot water and bubbles surrounding you will make you feel special and important.
How to create a romantic atmosphere in your bathroom:
Do you enjoy getting romantic in the tub? Try a garden tub, which is a good option for small areas and large enough for two people. Garden tubs are nice when they are sunken into the floor area. Box the tub in and install a music system into it. Music is always relaxing for everyone. Turn on a good easy listening music channel or insert a CD or mp3 player. Garden tubs and music are just one way to spice up your day.
When installing a tub for romance and relaxation, be sure to think about where you're going to install it and the seating around it. Your decor is important when you're trying to relax and enjoy the surrounding area. Choose a room away from the master bedroom where you can be away from everything and just be alone. Before installing your tub, decide on a theme and how you're going to fill in the empty spaces. Take one end of the room and put up a wall to make a place for a stool and a separate shower from your tub. Putting the sink in the same room as the tub is okay, since you can color and coordinate the colors to both rooms to match the bedroom.
Put mirrors around your tub and box it in, adding inserts at one end for a glass of wine. Add candles so that when they are lit, they can reflect in the mirrors. It sounds romantic, doesn't it?
Install garden tubs with jets. Jets are a good way to get the massage you've been wanting. Some of them even have heaters connected so your water doesn't get cold. Be careful not to fall asleep and drown in there, as it can be dangerous. Don't stay in there too long with the jets on, as they can make you too relaxed. Again, don't forget to add the mirrors and candles.
Put a chair decorated to match your theme in one corner where you can sit to dry off and apply lotion to your feet. After relaxing in that tub, you need to smell good afterwards. A little bit of body lotion goes a long way. Match your lotion scent to go with the oil you've used to take the scent with you when you're done. Body lotions are affordable and you can find coupons, deals, sales, clearances, etc. online to help you save money.
How to find oils, bathtubs, candles, lotions, and more:
Check out department stores or go online to find candles, lotions, and oils. Try different scents and enjoy.
That bare wall benefiting from bathroom accessories.
How to fill in the blanks with rubber stamps:
Is there a bare wall in your bathroom? Is the wall bare so that you cannot find a theme to match? Have you considered wallpaper, but nothing seems to fit? Why not put your creativity and ideas to work and make your own wallpaper design? I bet no one else will have one like it.
Before you get started, decide what you really want to put on the bare wall you are trying to cover. Make sure you are creative and try to use the same theme you are working with, such as birds. This can be done in any room of your house where you have a wall and want to do something different.
You'll need to shop around and find some rubber stamps or stencils. You can even draw the design if you want. The rubber stamps, stencils, and other supplies can be found in the craft department of most department stores. Be sure to grab the brushes you'll need; a variety pack of brushes is nice since you have different sizes and styles all in one.
Usually, in the same department, you'll be able to purchase the paints you'll need. Use ceramic paint, as it comes in many colors and shades to accommodate your needs. Clean up is a breeze, just use warm, soapy water to clean up the paint and change from one color to another.
Whenever doing a project like this, you should do it twice to be sure you have the right design and colors that you'll want to use. If you need more stamps or stencils, just go to another department store or wherever craft supplies are sold. They all sell different ones. Cover the area that you are going to stamp on with freezer paper, which can be bought wherever groceries are sold, usually in the meat department. When putting up the paper, just stick a thumbtack on the corner and a few places in the center to hold it in place.
Now you are ready to make the first copy of your wall project. Go for it and start stamping away.
It is hard to place everything so that they are exactly spaced, but don't worry, you can fill in those empty spots later. When going from one color to another, if the colors are going to touch, make sure the first color completely dries. When finished, let it dry and look at it for a couple of days to make sure this is what you want. Then move on to the permanent design.
How to remove the paper:
Now you're ready to do your wall, taking down the paper carefully so you don't forget your color combinations. Keep it as a pattern to work from. Remember, no two projects are the same. That's the fun of the whole project; no one will have one like it.
Paint your wall in the color of your choice, making it a light color to match the colors you are going to stamp on it. Using your pattern, start stamping again on the original wall. Again, make sure each color is completely dry before stamping another color so they do not touch each other. If you don't like the pattern you've done, just fill in the spaces with something else or add a new color somewhere. No matter how many times you use this technique, you'll never be able to do two projects the same. This is the tactic known as creativity. Now that you have your paints, consider the flowery bathroom accessories.
