Turn your bathroom into a day-spa: introducing 7 easy tips

An everyday routine can be turned into luxurious pampering with a few small details. We chose seven products to create a spa feeling at home or summer cottage, making an evening sauna or a morning shower the best moment of the day.

Pamper your skin – and your senses

The Finnish Hetkinen natural cosmetics brand creates gentle soaps and balms made from the purest natural ingredients. The bio-degradable pine and peppermint salt soap contains skin-nurturing minerals that nourish the skin together with indulgent essential oils. The invigorating fragrance and the gorgeous soap dish crafted from Finnish pine heartwood bring in the serene feeling of vast Scandinavian pine forests.

Wrap yourself in a robe

A luxurious bathrobe feels divine after a long shower or sauna. The Terva bathrobe by Lapuan Kankurit is made from a high-quality linen blend, that dries quickly and feels pleasant against the skin. The timeless design also features a large hood, giving privacy for after sauna relaxation.

Put your feet up

Freshly bathed feet are eager to slip into a pair of comfortable slippers. Marimekko's delightful Räsymatto slippers are made from terry cloth with a non-slip rubber sole. The slippers are adorned by the fresh Räsymatto pattern designed by Maija Louekari.

Treat yourself with luxury towels

Beautiful high-quality towels give the bathroom an instant facelift and add a touch of glamour to everyday routines. Resembling a traditional Turkish Peshtemal towel, the beautiful details and fresh shades of the Langø cotton towels emit the ambiance of a Turkish bathhouse.

Grab a seat

A petite stool makes for a terrific spot to rest awhile after bathing, but it also serves as a clever side table for bathroom accessories. The Airisto seat designed by Joanna Laajisto gives the space a warm, natural mood and allows you to take a moment to bask in the after sauna euphoria.

Mix a mocktail

A fresh drink after a steamy bath is what everyday luxury is all about. Mix ginger beer, mineral water, and citrus fruits for a delicious summer mocktail and serve it with style. Iittala's Gaissa tumblers designed by Tapio Wirkkala complete the refreshment with their breezy design, resemblant of gleaming ice.
