How to Make Your Bathroom a Sanctuary




Sanctuary Bathroom





Is your bathroom a place where you indulge your senses, relax, unwind and breathe in the pleasant aroma of flowers and oils? If not then you are missing out on the divine pleasure that comes with having a beautiful bathroom sanctuary.




Here are a few easy tips that will have your bathroom looking, feeling and smelling like an expensive spa in no time.

Here are a few easy tips that will have your bathroom looking, feeling and smelling like an expensive spa in no time.



Clean Up


The first step on the way to bathroom heaven is to clean it. That’s right people. If it’s not clean, no amount of paint and accessories will help. Grab a bottle of bleach and scrub that grout, pull that clump of hair out of the plug hole and hold your breath while you scour the toilet bowl until it sparkles. Cleaning the bathroom may absolutely be the worst job in the world but it will be worth it in the end. You’ll see. 



Paint


A new coat of paint is an easy way to give your bathroom a make-over. If you are going for a relaxing spa vibe then choose a warm earthy tone or a muted turquoise, depending on the existing tile colour. Sheens are good for the bathroom as they can take the steam and make sure you have thoroughly cleaned the walls before starting. Never paint over mould.



Flowers


Nothing says luxury like a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers in the bathroom. Roses, Lavender, Orchids or anything with a scent will add an instant touch of class to your bathroom. Pictures of flowers on the wall will make the room seem more spa-like and inspire joy and happiness in people. Stick-on wall decal can also make an impression. Go for images of Lotus Flowers, Blossoms or Orchids they have all become universal symbols of peace and tranquillity.



Candles


Pillar candles cost as little as a few dollars these days and the great thing is they look fancy. You can’t tell the difference between an expensive, scented candle and a cheap one until you light it. Arrange clusters of them around the bath and along window ledges then put a few special scented ones in the mix. Who wants to smell five different scented candles at once anyway?



Bottles and Jars


Do away with the ugly containers that your body-wash and shampoo from the supermarket come packaged in and invest in some pretty glass jars, bottles and soap dispensers. They make your cheaper products look spa worthy and things like bath crystals and bombs appear good enough to eat when displayed in a glass jar. You can buy them or make them out of coffee jars and honey pots. You can even use old pasta jars and grandmas special dishes for holding cotton balls or bath crystals. 



Towels


Bigger is better when it comes to towels and fluffy, warm, big towels are even better than that. They don’t have to be the finest Egyptian cotton however a huge, fresh and fluffy towel is one of the most comforting things you will ever see when stepping out of a hot bath or shower. Choose peaches and cream colours or honey tones to add subtle hints of colour or play it safe with white. For the finishing touch - roll them up, you’ll think you have just walked into a spa.



Aromatherapy


Keep essential oils in the bathroom to either drop in the bath or to use in a pretty oil burner. Certain oils such as eucalyptus, tea tree and lavender have many useful medicinal purposes too. Lavender in the bath smells delicious and has anti-bacterial properties. Tea tree in the bath can help skin rashes, itches and infections as it has powerful anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties. Eucalyptus has excellent decongestant properties and opens the airways up, burn or put a few drops in the bath if you are having sinus trouble.
Aroma sticks that are soaked in floral or citrus oils make excellent air fresheners for the toilet. They last for ages and smell better than most aerosol air fresheners.

How to Improve Your Homes Curbside Appeal

To improve your homes curbside appeal install security doors, put up a veranda, plant


garden and put down outdoor pavers.

There are a number of things you can do to improve the look of your home from the front, or

it's curbside appeal. If you are planning on ever selling your home this is something you should


definitely be conscious of doing as it is this first impression that will influence potential buyers

whether or not they will come in and have a better look or make further enquiries. You can

improve your garden, add security doors or security screens to your windows or even build a front

veranda.

Security doors



Security doors do not need to be just a steel door with wire on it to keep out the bugs. There

are many styles of security doors, some which incorporate good looks into their secure design.

Depending on the layout of the front of your home you could have a larger iron wrought security

door that is more of a gate, with intricate patterns and designs that will vastly improve the look of

your home. Contact a company specialising in security doors and you will see there is a whole

range of different products to suit your style of home.



Security screens



Putting security screens on your windows will appeal to anyone wanting to buy your house because

they will feel happier knowing their future investment is secure. Security screens no longer have to

be ugly attachments to your windows that block out the view. Security screens will keep out any

intruders and insects but let you keep the window open to let in the breeze, while not disturbing

your view.



Veranda



Install a veranda along the front of your home and you will greatly improve the look of it. A

veranda can give you home a more period look, it gives you somewhere to sit out of the sun and

will keep the rooms along the front of your house cooler as the veranda will shade them from the

hot sun.



Garden



A garden will definitely make a difference to the look of your home from the curb. If your land

slopes away, or if your house is built down lower than the front pathway you may need to build

a retaining wall. Build any structures that you need to first before sowing any lawn and planting

plants. Roses are easy to look after and always look beautiful. For a garden that is simple to look

after you might want to choose a more minimalist style of garden or native plants which will thrive

in your environment.



Outdoor paving



Paving will look great in your garden. You can lay a pathway to your front door or around to a



side gate way. You might choose sandstone pavers or other stone like blue stone. Pebbles look

nice along the side of pavers, or you can use them around your garden.



Water feature



You might choose to have something like a water feature in the centre of your front lawn to break

up your garden. Another idea is having a statue of some kind or an ornamental tree like a Weeping

Cherry or Japanese Maple.

Kitchen Designs and Decororations Tips




When decorating your kitchen remember to
have enough storage, plan your kitchen around the fridge, bench and stove being
in a triangle and pick a colour to suit the style of room.





There are a few things you should consider when decorating your kitchen. As well as planning a stylish and pleasant looking kitchen to suit your tastes you also want something that is functional. If you are building a new home you might want to choose your major appliances first, such as your Bosch dishwasher, and build your kitchen to comfortably fit. Once your have finished decorating your kitchen don't forget to check that any improvements are included in your contents insurance.

Storage

Every kitchen needs plenty of storage space. You want to be able to put all your smaller appliances, such as the mixer, the toaster and slow cooker away. If you don't have space for them they end up sitting on the bench and give your kitchen a cluttered look. Have big deep drawers where you can store your pots and pans, have a specific cupboard or drawer for your plastic containers, which always seem to take up a lot of space, and create bigger shelves or drawers that will hold your small appliances.



The working triangle


For your kitchen to function as a proper working space you should have three main parts of your kitchen joined up by an invisible triangle. That is you can easy walk from the fridge, to the stove and to the bench in a triangle shape. Having this working triangle shape within your kitchen means that you will save time when cooking, that is you are not walking from one end to the other constantly, and cooking will be much easier. 



Quality appliances


When choosing appliances make sure you go for quality brands. If it is a matter of a few hundred dollars you are better to save that bit longer and get the better quality product or the one that you really want. Having a good quality fridge and dishwasher are important, as well as the oven that you really want. 



Style


When decorating your kitchen you will most likely choose a style to match the rest of your house. If you have a period home then you will want to have a more old fashioned kitchen. You can buy old fashioned tap ware and sinks, such as the Butler sink or the Farm House style sink. There are great modern kitchen designs which are simple and uncluttered. There are plenty of magazines available where you can gain inspiration in choosing the right style of kitchen to suit your home. 



Light


Make sure your kitchen is as light as possible both during the day and in the evening. If the kitchen windows are small you might want to consider renovating and putting in bigger windows to let in more natural light. If this isn't feasible you could always put in a sky light. Having spot lights over your bench is a good idea so that you can see properly when you are cooking. 



Colours


Kitchens look great in most colours. For something bright and cheerful yellow looks great. White or cream are flexible shades that give you the option to change the colour in your kitchen just by changing the colour of your accessories or brightening the room with flowers. For a modern kitchen you might want to try a vibrant red or dramatic black paint. In an old fashioned or country style kitchen any shade of blue or green looks great or more neutral tones.
