If you’re dreaming of turning your bathroom into a luxury spa in your home, marble is the best material option out there! This timeless and elegant stone can take any space in your house and infuse it with luxury and beauty like no other material can.
To help inspire you when creating a home spa-like bathroom with marble tiles, we’ve put together this handy guide.
Creating a Spa at Home
Everybody loves the concept of a spa. It evokes feelings of relaxation, serenity and otherworldliness.
When it comes to interior design, your choice of material, style and even the layout of any room should emulate these same feelings and experiences. To that end, making stylistic choices around elements that promote calmness and encourage tranquility is critical.
In general, to achieve this, we recommend following a few basic rules:
- Choose soothing colour palettes.
- Opt for soft lighting.
- Use natural materials.
- Evoke a minimalist aesthetic.
These general rules, from neutral colours to minimalist design styles, aim to bring a sense of calmness to your body and mind. The softer the aesthetic and feel of a space, the more peaceful the area will seem.
You should be aiming to create a truly tranquil ambiance. Harsh colours, bright lighting and busy designs will do little to encourage a calm mind and relaxed body.
10 Ways to Use Marble to Create a Home Spa
Choose the Right Marble Tiles
Believe it or not but not all marble is the same. This wonderful stone actually comes in many different colours and styles. But the classic off-white shade of marble complete with soft, greyish veining offers the most serene and calming option for your spa at home.
We commend choosing white or light-coloured marble tiles such as Carrara, Calacatta or Statuario Marble.
Install Marble Tiles on the Floor
The floor is often a neglected area of the bathroom but can be used to great effect nonetheless for creating that luxury spa feeling. Installing marble tiles across the bathroom floor will certainly enhance the beauty of the space from bottom to top and infuse a sense of luxury, calmness and elegance throughout the room.
Create a Marble Accent Wall
Marble, being the luxurious material that it is, is not always in everyone’s renovation budget. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be used to great effect in your home spa without breaking the bank. A marble accent wall can have a truly out-sized impact on a bathroom.
A wall of gorgeous marble tiles behind a sink, surrounding a shower or by the bathtub can inject a sense of spa-like wonder into just about any bathroom.
Use Marble for Vanities and Countertops
Marble is very versatile in application. It’s also a classic choice for use in bathroom vanities and countertops. Apart from the cohesiveness of including marble in these applications as well, using this beautiful material across the entirety of your bathroom makes for a truly breathtaking visual effect.
Incorporate Marble into the Shower
Marble tiles are hardy and durable. With regular professional resealing it is an excellent choice of material for use in the shower.
Your shower offers ample opportunity to create your own luxury spa at home. Marble tiles can add elegance and a touch of sophistication in your shower and turn the little space into not just a focal point but your own little retreat within a retreat.
Use a Marble Mosaic
Marble tile mosaics offer a lot of opportunity to add a unique aesthetic and touch to your bathroom. With many patterns and styles to choose from, it allows you to effectively capture the minimalist look required for that spa-like feel while also giving opportunity for personalisation and customisation.
Bring in Marble Details
Sometimes the smaller details can have a larger impact. While we mentioned the marble vanity above, you can even consider installing just a marble sink or adding marble details to your pre-existing vanity.
This gives you the benefit of infusing the beauty and serenity inherent in the marble aesthetic without having to undergo extensive renovations or redesigns. It’s economical, effective and easy.
Use Marble for Accessories
As with the option above, even your bathroom accessories can add touches of spa-like tranquility and elegance to your bathroom. From soap dispensers to toothbrush holders, there are many different ways you can take the tiniest of elements in the bathroom and bring them to life and luxury by replacing them with a marble option.
Add Lighting
Lighting, soft lighting in particular, should be used to great effect in a bathroom spa at home. Coupled with bright marble, warm pendant lighting or sconces can create a truly affecting, warm and inviting atmosphere.
This is just what you need to create that luxury spa feeling right in the comfort of your own house.
Match Marble Tiles with Simplistic Design
The gorgeous nature of marble speaks for itself. Let it shine by keeping your bathroom simple and as minimalistic as possible. Not only will that enhance the relaxation nature of the space, but it will also allow the beauty of marble to work its magic without the unnecessary clutter of additional decor.
Lastly, keep the design of your bathroom simple and minimalistic. Let the beauty of the marble tiles speak for itself and avoid cluttering the space with unnecessary decor.
