Spa-like showers are one of the biggest luxuries you can have in your life. Not only do they cleanse you of the day's memories and hard work, but they provide a certain point of health and relaxation for you and your family.
Whether you choose high-end granite stone or cheaper laminate with good effects, your spa-like showers can not only raise the value of your life but raise the value of your home as well – doubling, if not tripling, your long term equity!
Check out our top picks for the best home spas!
If you go to Europe you'll find that many of the local spas and salt baths are all in original wood, and for good reason.
Cedar wood in particular gives a homeopathic scent and it deals well with high levels of moisture and steam – just what you need for a high-end spa!
Love claw-foot tubs but don't think you can include a shower too? Think again – the best looking claw-foot tubs include a circular metal top piece that will allow for a great linen covering to make a shower out of it.
The one pictured here doesn't include a shower, but if your home already has a shower function and the appropriate plumbing, then adding a claw-foot tub afterwards will be rather easy!
Lighting, dark natural stones and light natural stones – sometimes these are all you need for the most minimalist and designer feel to your bathroom. Forget how narrow it may be – the combination of light and dark colours can play the perfect tricks on the eyes, making the room feel much larger than it actually is.

A combination of different materials can be either rough or perfect – if you're looking for a rustic and modern feel, then this combination is perfection! Take this example as a perfect display!
If a rather small and minimalist space is what you're working with, then why not combine what you need most? Choose a perfect opaque glass shower cubicle for a sleek modern vibe, so you can still maintain style, cleanliness and hygiene all in one setting!
If you're rare and lucky enough to have both raw stones and thick-plank wooden floors – then use this to your advantage – the combination of both is rare and certainly something to work with!
Want an even more rustic interior? Check out this example!
Take a look at how the multiple levels, skylight and dark natural stones create a highly dynamic environment in this situation. What do we always suggest to add more space to areas? More mirrors as well!
We love sleek minimalism as well – take a look at this great bath tub combination!
A sink. A shower. A toilet, great fixtures and high-end materials are sometimes all you need. This small, yet minimal space is all you could ever long for during the smaller and more functional times in life!
Nothing is better than a view, a high-end waterfall-style showerhead and a large enough tub to spread out and enjoy life in! This beachside spa bathroom is the stuff dreams are made of…
Limited only to those in the countryside and the beautiful landscape! If you're looking for the most relaxing and meditating view while you relax and handle the day's worries away, then look no further than a floor-to-ceiling window in your bathing space!
We love it if you're more experimental in your daily life and interior design. It always makes things more fun!
Why not add a naturalistic wall decal for a great effect in your private spa area – top that off with a great light fixture as well.
Sometimes the best design is the simplest. A great floor, a cosy rug and a repetition of minimalist light fixtures and the best accessories are what you need to finally and eternally relax.
Why not get more creative, and if you love one light fixture… include a few more?
White, light-grained wood and concrete flooring. Just about as minimalist as you can get, and still, to this day, the most rewarding of all the design features when it comes to great design, great music and a nice glass of wine over a bed-time spa-bath.
