Create a Home Spa and Transform Your Bathing Experience

Everyone needs a private place for relaxing, de-stressing and re-energizing after a long stressful day.
Many homeowners are choosing to remodel their bathrooms and create a retreat for socializing, reading or listening to music.
The most desired feature for a home spa is a whirlpool tub.
You can find whirlpool baths in a wide variety of shapes, colors and sizes.
Typical features include heated lines, quiet motors, air flow adjustibility, control panels and underwater lighting systems.
Current models also have adjustable jet systems, allowing you to soothe aching joints and tight muscles with targeted precision.
The air bath is an increasingly popular whirlpool alternative that produces a gentle, soothing bathing experience as opposed to a massage.
Millions of effervescent bubbles create a delicate heated air curtain that rises through the water.
Due to reduced residue build-up, bath salts and aromatic oils can be used in an air bath, unlike a standard whirlpool.
If you are able to spend more money and want the best of both worlds, you can buy a combination tub that can deliver either the therapeutic effect of a whirlpool or the calming benefit of an air bath.
Another key component of your home spa should be a steam shower.
Installing adjustable heads that direct the spray to different levels allow you to keep your head dry if needed.
Or if you prefer, you can place the heads above the shower and enjoy a rainfall effect.
To complete your bathroom transformation, choose complementary cabinetry, colors and lighting.
You may want to consider marble, natural tile or slate flooring.
Finally, create the perfect ambiance by adding radiant heated floors, towel warming drawers, mini-fridge, remote-control TV, surround sound system, or even a fireplace.
Once your home spa is complete, you'll finally be able to have a glass of your favorite wine, put on a CD and slip into a whirlpool bath or air bath and enjoy a perfect evening.
