			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"></p>
<p style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text-align: justify; color: #424241; clear: both;">Most people would love to have a spa bathroom right in their home. A spa bathroom makes a great addition to any home; it can also be quite expensive to install. If you want to completely renovate your bathroom so that it resembles the local spa, it’s probably going to cost you. But there are some affordable tricks that you can easily use to create your very own spa bathroom on a budget.</p>
<p style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text-align: justify; color: #424241; clear: both;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: bold;">Install the Right Lighting</strong><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />In your bathroom décor, lighting plays a major role. When brushing and flossing your teeth and putting on makeup, you’re going to want to have adequate lighting. But you want to take care to not make the lighting too bright, especially if you’re trying to create a spa. To create a lighting compromise, install a dimmer switch for your bathroom lighting. This way, you can have dimmed lighting to set the mood when you are relaxing in the but still have full light for everyday tasks like putting on makeup.</p>
<p style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text-align: justify; color: #424241; clear: both;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: bold;">Keep Things Clean and Organized</strong></p>
<p style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text-align: justify; color: #424241; clear: both;">It’s going to be very difficult to relax in your spa bathroom if the place is a mess and nothing is organized. The first thing you need to do is to create a spot for everything in the bathroom. Keep things organized by adding baskets and bins to the shelves and cabinets. If you’re looking to dress up the place a bit, then add wicker baskets and painted shelves.</p>
<p style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text-align: justify; color: #424241; clear: both;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: bold;">Add the Right Accessories</strong></p>
<p style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text-align: justify; color: #424241; clear: both;">The right accessories can make all the difference in your décor, and they don’t necessarily have to cost a lot.</p>
<p style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text-align: justify; color: #424241; clear: both;">· By strategically placing candles around the bathtub and the rest of the room, you can significantly add to the ambiance of a spa bathroom.</p>
<p style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text-align: justify; color: #424241; clear: both;">· You might also consider adding other things such as flower arrangements and air fresheners.</p>
<p style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text-align: justify; color: #424241; clear: both;">· Fill your bathroom with soothing and relaxing music by installing a radio or CD/MP3 player either in the bathtub or on a shelf nearby.</p>
<p style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text-align: justify; color: #424241; clear: both;">· A luxurious bath mat near the tub will keep your feet from hitting the cold tile after a bath.</p>
<p style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text-align: justify; color: #424241; clear: both;">· You can set a relaxing mood in your spa bathroom with a water feature, such as a small fountain.</p>
<p style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text-align: justify; color: #424241; clear: both;">· Create your very own oasis in the bathroom by surrounding that small fountain with a few small plants.</p>
<p style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text-align: justify; color: #424241; clear: both;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: bold;">Choose Peaceful Colors for the Room</strong><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Neutrals and pastels are the best color options for a spa bathroom, especially for the main wall colors. There shouldn’t be anything too loud or vibrant in the room, such as red or bright yellow. Instead, go for that peaceful feeling that naturally comes from lighter colors and neutrals.</p>
<p style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text-align: justify; color: #424241; clear: both;">However, you don’t have to keep the décor boring. Splashes of color can be incorporated in towels, candles, flowers, and other décor items. Not only is paint very inexpensive, but by simply painting over a dark or vibrant color with a neutral or pastel, you will change the whole look and feel of the room.</p>
<p style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text-align: justify; color: #424241; clear: both;">When creating a spa bathroom in your home, you don’t have to spend as much money as you think. With a little creativity in working with what you already have in the room, you can create your very own spa bathroom without breaking your budget.</p>
<p style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text-align: justify; color: #424241; clear: both;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: bold;">About the Writer&#8230;</strong><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Leon Tuberman has four decades of experience in the home furnishings and interior decorating industry.
