Cool ideas for my skin spa treatment room/bathroom

13 years ago
Hi houzzers! Im gettying ready to open a small skin care biz out of my home. my set up is in a small bathroom. I just hung the funky rattan curtain on the back wall. Does the gauzy white fabric look ok with it or do you have any other fun recommendations? The white fabric covers a shower that i use for storage. i want a clean, relaxing airy, spa feel. Does it look ok or does anyone have other neat ideas?

    I think I would add a white or natural louvered bi-fold closet door rather than the fabric. Treat it as a closet, since you are using it for storage anyway.

    Your Spa looks great , but instead of the fabric perhaps you could add a full mirror with a decal with your home based business name on it and or a tropical view , not only it will give the room the appearance of grandeur it will be giving more light as well.


    Okay:)
    lets say that you have a mirror now ,just stick one of these on it

    The reason for me trying to eliminate the fabric is sanitary only ,otherwise I love your decor .

    Thx Genevieve! Love the frosted glass look! But I don't have the budget for that now.! I forgot to mention that I'm trying io hide an ugly shower enclosure...(would love to do an awesome glass tile down the road).

    How about a nice thick cotton fabric that matches your wall color that is opposite of it? I'm sure you can find something to match at a fabric store. It might make the room more cohesive and make it act like a wall instead of something that is just put there to block the tub out of view. I feel like the rattan fabric wall needs an art piece but not sure how you would hang that on fabric, maybe others have an idea?
    Also I would include a small orchid plant or something similar to liven it up as decor so they don't only see all the lotions and spa stuff. Don't forget to have a small ipod player that is out of site with some nice soft relaxing spa music on before the client arrives and a small heater in the room when it gets chillier. If it's not too much trouble maybe offer a nice fruit flavored or cucumber water before or after their treatment. If there's no room for a pitcher inside the room can you put it on a small end or console table right outside? They will definitely appreciate the small touches. Hope this helps!

    I love your big piece of glass on top of the corner cabinet....but you may want to look for an inexpensive small water feature to put up there for a soothing/relaxing sound!

    if you don't like the idea of putting a door up on shower area, how about a standing floor screen?

    Let me tell you a short story about water features ....I love water feature and the trickle of water running so years ago I bought one set it on my living room table to enjoy it , I found the water splashes on table and floor , a CD gives the same effect and no mess to wipe .

    Love that crisp white corner hutch! I would consider upgrading your storage unit to match your lovely hutch. Depending on what you prefer you could go with a white, solid wood shelf, cabinet or chest of drawers.

    This image depicts a smaller chest of drawers that takes up less space than a conventional set of drawers and also matches your hutch. You can find it here: http://www.dutchcrafters.com/Amish-Kids-Chest-of-Drawers/p/6673

    The lovely spa I go to hung the gauze from the ceiling looping it over hanging poles of bamboo besides the white gauze everything is painted a deep chocolate paint that has a slight glazed look. She has beautiful
    cascading high quality green plants hanging from an Asian type basket. She also has several frameless candles throughout the room. Very simple and relaxing!!!

    I would paint a very pale seaglass, sea blue/green metallic paint on the walls. Metallic paint will give you the illusion of the sparkle of sea water. Drape with solid sheer panels in the same wall color. All accessories in white. A decorative clear glass vase with some white orchids somewhere in the room. No dark colors for accessories. If there is wall space for one art piece, I'd like to see a seascape.

    I like 'mpoulsom's' idea for a white screen possibility. Maybe a folding screen that can be mounted from a ceiling rail. I really don't think you'd have the room to make it operable tho.

    The bi-fold door mentioned by 'mpoulson' is a great idea. Mounted on tub ledge. Love that 'mpoulsom'.

    It looks like it is coming along nicely. My few suggestions would be this. I too think you should maybe put in a frosted glass door where the shower curtain is. I think the fullness of the curtain gives the room a too closed in feeling. I would also see if a handymay can mount the corner cabinet right in so it looks more built in and not like it was just put there. also I think the cart next to the cabinet looks too " medicinal". Maybe you can find a wicker piece with a frosted glass top to make it feel like an escape and not too institutional. Also I think you have too much product on display. If you are selling any items that you use then maybe you want to put out 2 or 3 key items and then stash away any other product or instrument that you actually use in session. Also make sure all hutch doors and drawers are soft close. Worse thing is to be drifting off in to Nirvana and a hard slamming door jolts you out. You can also put together a spa basket (for use and SALE of course) reusuable bath slides, a luxe terry robe, scent satchels and a delectable body scrub in case they want to take a hot shower after a rub down. Please post your after shots and Best of Luck to you.

    There are some inexpensibe 'accordian' doors that don't take up much operable space. 36" x 72" @ $46. You would probably need two. If you don't have the floor space to hang floor to ceiling, they are vinyl and you can easily cut them to mount above the tub ledge. Saves floor space and probably would be more convenient to open.

    I like most of 'Christine's ideas

    Thanks everyone for your comments! I really appreciatevit! my biggest issue is space in this room. Per the cabinet, the products displayed are what I use on a daily basis so can't really hide them or display less of them. I wish I could! i like the accordion door idea but it doesn't look pretty and relaxing to me (but I do appreciate the recommendation!). I was thinking about a unique beaded curtain. Does anyone know where I could find something like that?

    Frosted glass ,accordion door ,gauze ....no one has even thought of beads ,yes beads ,I had no door in the furnace room and the shower was adjacent to it ,so I bought beads that looked like water drops and also bought a blue sheer to hang behind it , perhpas you might even think that it looks tacky but it does the job ,out of sight is the furnace .

    You could paint a very free form design on the accordian door. Use metallic seagreen color. Something like this or stencil it. Maybe tree branches or leaves motif?

    Thx LB! They look like they have a nice selection! Not really going for the sea turtle look but the bubbles curtain is closer to the airy, clean look that I'm going for! Thanks again!

    I agree 'amyz'. Bubbles. You would need two and two sheer curtains behind if you want a full look Some panels are about 60' wide. It would be a flatter look with one drape.
