There is simply nothing like a rejuvenating and relaxing bath to soothe your aching sense, revitalize you with energy and to offer you some much needed time away from the hustle and bustle of modern life.

Color Palette

Choose a calming color palette – something earthy or sandy, something to make the bathroom cozy and inviting. You can also turn to darker shades but mix them with warm and light woods, natural stone and other textural materials to achieve a naturally luxurious look. Such palettes make the space very soothing and very peaceful, so you’ll feel amazing in this space. Japanese-styled bathroom in dark earthy colors, with a rain shower and wood floor
