Is your bathroom as romantic as it could be?

Posted on 08. Feb, 2011 by Charlotte Laing in Weird and Wonderful

We’ve all got an idea in our head of the perfect romantic bathroom. Often it’s something we’ve seen on a travel website or in an interiors magazine.

For me, ideally, it would have a huge bathtub, filled with luxurious bathing salts, it would be dimly lit with soft candlelight and would have views to die for.

This bathroom at the Silavadee Pool Spa Resort in Koh Samui, Thailand, looks like romantic bliss to me.

What else…? Fluffy white towels and bathrobes, beautiful décor (personally I’d choose something calming, so I could imagine I was on holiday in Thailand), and perhaps a bottle of champagne and two glasses chilling in an ice bucket.

Sounds idyllic doesn’t it?

As February 14th approaches, it’s worth remembering that  the bathroom can be one of the most romantic places in the house – a place where you can escape.

So if your bathroom is boring, bland, or a bit grotty, then you’re missing out.

The first thing to do is get the basics right. You need a big bath – ideally situated by the window. You’ll also need a heated towel rail so you can keep the towels and bathrobes toasty.

Get the colour scheme right – neutral, calming colours can look very cosy and romantic when lit with candlelight, although you could consider rich tones on the walls, in colours such as plum, teal or fuchsia for a different effect.

Then you need to set the scene… banish all clutter so you can relax rather than thinking about clearing up!

Invest in spacious bathroom cabinets where everything can have a place and only keep the most luxurious and attractive products on display.

Dim the lights, light quality scented candles here and there in the room.
