30 Elevated Spa Bathroom Ideas Designers Swear By for the Ultimate At-Home Retreat
Get inspired for your next project.
Besides your bedroom, there isn't a place at home you should feel more at ease than your bathroom. The ultimate private space, this room should encourage relaxation and exude comfort while remaining highly functional. One of the best ways to capture serenity, comfort, and utility here is by looking to one of your favorite spa retreats for inspiration. Our curated list of spa bathroom ideas will hopefully be the push you need to implement these tranquil features into your own space.
What's great about a spa-inspired bathroom aesthetic is that it works seamlessly with a wide range of interior design styles. Focus mainly on your color palette, choice in materials, and the soft goods. Many spa bathrooms also incorporate a lot of natural elements, like stone vanities and wooden accents, but you can shape these to your tastes. Lastly, there are small but no less essential features to consider for inspiring a relaxing mood, such as putting your lights on dimmers, installing heated floors, and creating a spa playlist to put on whenever you enter.
There's no exact formula for creating this space, but we know these 30 spa bathroom ideas below will help get you started.

Ryan Garvin
Install a Bubbling Water Feature
In designer Breegan Jane's California beach house, she outfitted the guest bathroom with a striking green Moroccan fountain for "auditory privacy." However, a luxurious water feature like this also brings in a spa-like vibe to any bathroom, even if it's tabletop-sized.

Lauren Miller
Choose a Statement Stone
Designer Ali Budd gave this small powder room a spa-like feel, thanks in part to the stunning pink quartzite countertop for the vanity. Along with the botanical wallpaper and white mirror, the entire room gives off an almost heavenly vibe.

Lauren Miller
Create a Wide-Open Space
Budd keeps the serene feel going in the primary bathroom of the same home, which is spacious and scattered with spa-worthy features, like a sauna, dressing table, and floor-to-ceiling mirror. If space allows, consider this license to add in as many retreat-worthy features as possible.

Rich Stapleton
Make It Open-Air
The large doorway in this primary bathroom by Alexander Design really captures the feeling of a luxe mountain getaway. The patio space contains an open-air shower and garden, and the interior heavily features stone and other natural materials to ensure it remains tranquil.

Madeline Tolle
Design Separate Relaxation Zones
Designer Jaqui Seerman completely transformed this once-oversized bathroom into an at-home spa by creating different zones for relaxation. The marble-clad space on the left is a steam shower, and the space on the right is a dry infrared sauna.

Hector M. Sanchez
Double Up Your Shower
Make room for two in your oversized shower stall. This space by Andrew Brown includes a central rain shower head as well. Luxurious bathrooms are all about options, so don't limit your self-care to just one shower setting.

Helen Norman
Turn Your Tub Into a Sculpture
If you have plenty of square-footage to play with, why not opt for an oversized bathtub that looks more akin to a Tuscan estate's garden fountain than your traditional stall and tub combo? This space by interior designer Lauren Liess incorporates a shower head as well for total functionality.

Helen Norman
Go Monochrome
Calm the senses by streamlining the color palette. Here, Liess opted for a complete sage green hue from floor to ceiling for this open concept bathroom.

Emily Followill
Add Drapery
Bathrooms deserve window treatments too. Mirror this Jeffrey Dungan–designed space and incorporate drapery for a more pulled together and intentional feel.

Laure Joliet
Extend Your Stone
The backsplash of this vanity set-up by designer Regan Baker extends along the adjoining half-wall to make the different bathroom zones feel cohesive.

Stacy Zarin Goldberg
Take Inspiration from Your Locale
This Maui bathroom is full of warm, tropical elements inspired by its island surroundings. Designed by Breeze Giannasio, the natural materials play together to create a homey, soothing atmosphere.

Incorporate Artwork
Artwork in a bathroom can be tricky because of the moisture and humidity. However, large-scale works bring an air of glamour and five-star hotel energy into the space. The artwork here in this bathroom by Lucy Harris adds necessary brightness to the calming space. It's worth investing in the proper framing to bring your bathroom to life.
13
Shade Degges
Add Greenery
Not only do plants help to purify the air and thrive in the moist environments in bathrooms, but they incorporate nature into the space, like in this Mediterranean-inspired bathroom by Sarah Solis. With a bevy of houseplants, the feeling you get from a hike can be infused into your bathroom.

Jared Kuzia
Choose a Bold Tub
High-end spas have the privilege of being bolder with their design choices because their clients don't have to live with it every day, eventually growing tired of the design. However, if boldness is what you crave, opt for a non-traditional tub like this gilded option chosen by designer Cecilia Casagrande.

Thomas Loof
Paint the Ceiling Black
Don't neglect the fifth wall in your bathroom design. Take a leaf out of designer Caroline Rafferty's book: a darker color on your ceiling can help to cocoon and ground your space. It will also help to ground your body, as you unwind after a long day.

Build-In Your Bathtub
Rather than leave your bathtub bare, take the detailing one step further and install millwork to the front of the tub. This built-in look, like designer Robin Henry achieved here, immediately elevates the space.

Install a Chandelier
One quick way to add spa-like elegance to your primary bathroom is by swapping the lighting. We love this intricate brass chandelier that designer Krystal Matthews installed. If this isn't your style, opt for an oversized fixture you love to bring in more glamour.

Eric Roth
Float Your Sink
To free up visual space and streamline your bathroom's design, choose to float your sink rather than have a pedestal or vanity cabinet beneath it. Designer Liz Caan did so here, making the vanity area look much more open. This also helps your bathroom to appear larger because there is less on the floor.

Choose Warm Tones
For a cozy and encompassing feeling, design your bathroom using a warm-toned color palette. This one, by designer Sarah Magness, pairs a tonal brown tile wall with a peachy-pink sink for a cheerful yet elevated look.

Elongate Your Windows
The more natural light, the better. Sunlight does wonders to both our moods and our interior design. In this Texas home by Marie Flanigan, the bathroom window is nearly floor to ceiling to maximize the light in this long bathroom.
