Check out these fabulous home essentials for a cozy and calm bathroom!

I’ve learned to take self-care seriously, especially with all the stress of last year, like quarantine.

One of the easiest ways to practice self-care, is to create an at-home spa experience using affordable items you can find online.

I’ve put together THE ultimate list of home essentials for a cozy and calming bathroom. You can use these items to relax at the end of the day and turn your ordinary bathroom into a special sanctuary.

Keep in mind, you don’t need to spend a lot to have a great bathroom space. Most of these items are under $35 and will last a very long time!

Ambiance is Where You Should Start!

Start with ambiance!

Ambiance refers to the character and atmosphere of your environment. To create a cozier, more calming bath experience, you’ll want to use mostly neutral tones with pops of color, great lighting and soothing scents.

You can instantly add luxury to a bathroom by improving how the space makes you feel. Here are several tips and budget-friendly home essentials to help you get started.

• Use an essential oil diffuser to create a calming and relaxing scent for your bathroom. This can sit on your countertop or next to your tub on a cute stool or bench. Essential oils and other aromatherapy oils are a great way to instantly transport your mind to a calmer place.

• Try this Instagram famous aroma oil scent that smells like an expensive hotel. It’s a little on the pricey side, but a little will go a long way!

• Place electric candles around the room. There’s nothing more spa-like than those flickering lights. This electric option can be controlled with a remote and won’t discolor your ceilings or walls.

• Try hanging eucalyptus in your shower. When the steam builds in your shower, the leaves will release their calming scent for instant relaxation.

• Make sure you have a nice, soft terry bathrobe and furry, plush slippers to add to your cozy ensemble.
