Are you tired of spending your hard-earned money on spa treatments so you can relax? Here are a few remodeling ideas you can use in your own bathroom at home to turn the space into a luxurious personal spa you're sure to enjoy for many years to come:

Replace the Shower Stall

One thing you can do to turn your old bathroom into a luxurious and inviting personal spa room is replace your shower stall with one that is large enough to stand, turn around, and even sit on a stool inside and that features steam functionality. Install a waterfall-style showerhead in the stall so when you're taking a shower, the water falls on you from above like rain instead of from the wall like traditional showerheads.

And when you aren't showering, you can close the shower stall door and turn the steam feature on to create your own personal sauna. What could be more relaxing than spending some time in a sauna after a long, hard day?

Incorporate Lots of Plants

Incorporating a lot of plants into the overall design of your bathroom is a great way to bring some of the outdoors inside and create a relaxing environment that would rival any commercial spa facility. Plants with colorful flowers, miniature cacti, and even fragrant herbs can all enhance the beauty of your bathroom and keep things smelling fresh like the garden.

Many houseplants, such as English ivy, will even filter the air in your bathroom and help keep the air clear of pollutants such as formaldehyde and carbon monoxide. This way, you'll have peace of mind in knowing that your skin won't absorb toxins while you're doing a facial or enjoying a steam bath.

Install a Backlit Countertop

You can create a dramatic look and feel for your new spa bathroom by having a backlit countertop installed. This type of countertop features a lighting system inside that illuminates when turned on. The illumination shines through the marble or quartz countertop and makes it look like it's glowing. When the backlit countertop is turned on, it will illuminate the bathroom enough to see what's going on so you can relax and enjoy your spa experience without having to turn the bright overhead light on.

The illuminated countertop will add a sense of elegance that you'd expect to enjoy when visiting a commercial spa. You can also turn the illumination off when you want the bathroom to function like a regular bathroom for guests.
