Transform the Home Bathroom Into a Personal Day Spa!
Valentine’s Day is a time to be spent with loved ones. It’s a time for romantic dinners, chocolates, little candies with sweet messages, and flowers. But it’s also a great time to practice some self-care. After all, homeowners need to take care of themselves so they can, in turn, help take care of the ones they love. And there’s no better way to get some relaxing time alone than by transforming the bathroom into a personal oasis. Here are some tips homeowners can use to do just that!

The Many Benefits of Bath Time
Pretty much everyone knows that baths are relaxing. But the benefits of baths don’t just stop there. Studies show that there are many benefits in addition to relaxation. They improve mood by helping to relieve feelings of anxiety and depression and provide a calm place for the mind to reset after all the stress of the day. Regular baths can also help to reduce blood pressure, studies show. Not to mention assisting people in relaxing their muscles after a heavy workout or a long day at work.
A warm bath before bed can help the body get into sleep mode. It raises the body’s temperature, which is then cooled off rapidly when leaving the tub. This cooling body temperature helps produce melatonin, allowing one to get into a deep sleep quickly. Baths also improve circulation and can reduce skin irritation. People come out of the bathroom rejuvenated and refreshed when things like Epsom salts and oils are added to bath time.
Enhancing Bath Time Even More
There are also additional benefits to relaxing in the bathtub when adding color. With the use of lights, it’s possible to enhance mood and relaxation further, making for an even more pleasant experience. The use of color and mornings like this is called chromotherapy, and many people swear by it!
LED lights in the bathroom placed in strategic areas can help improve relaxation and uplift mood. So whether this means installing new lights in the bathroom, switching out the bulbs for colorful ones, or even getting a chromatherapy bathtub installed, the choice is up to the homeowner. But anyone looking for a luxury bathtub installation should check out these tubs with built-in LED lights to help complete the bathroom's transformation into a personal day spa.
Rain Shower Heads Are A Great Idea
While bath time isn’t for everyone, showers can be just as relaxing -- with the right fixtures. Rain showerheads are becoming more and more popular these days, thanks to the feeling of rain instead of the jets of water that regular showerheads utilize. Some fixtures come with both options. Many rain shower heads today come with built-in LED lights. Some even come with built-in speakers so homeowners can listen to relaxing music in the shower!
Homeowners looking for a new showerhead, a new bathtub, or who want to upgrade the bathroom should look to their local plumber for help. Plumbers can help with selecting the proper fixtures. They can also advise on and perform shower installations, bath installations, and other upgrades to turn the bathroom into a spa!
