Affordable luxury in a spa-style bathroom

How do you create a bathroom where you can switch off and recharge when space and budget are limited? An IKEA interior designer took on the challenge.

A bathroom with blue floor and wall tiles, a free-standing bath tub, and white wash-basin with mirrored cupboards above.

Organise to create calm

“A combination of closed and open storage lets you choose what to hide and what to display,” says Fredrik. “I mounted lamps on each side of the mirror to light your face evenly when putting on make-up or shaving.” There are mirrors inside the cabinet too, and the shelves are adjustable so you can customise it to fit your toiletries.

Coordinate colours

Try simple finishing touches, like neatly folded towels that fit your colour scheme. “Use baskets to store your favourite spa products, so you have everything to hand for some ‘me-time’,” says Fredrik. “While you might not copy and paste this entire room, I hope it gives you some ideas that you can adapt to your own bathroom.”
