Creating the Ultimate Bubble Bath

New year, new you! If you don’t take many bubble baths, consider taking up the practice in the new year. It’s the ultimate way for you to relax after a long day. Don’t get bogged down thinking it’s only for kids – you deserve an hour of bliss each night to melt the stress away. Here’s how how to create the ultimate bubble bath:

Clawfoot Tub
If you plan on remodeling your vintage bathroom design any time soon, consider installing a clawfoot tub. This fixture is not only stylish, but the double slipper models also have a sloped basin that helps support your back while you lounge. Additionally, the cast iron tubs have great heat retention properties, so you won’t have to cut your bath time short just because the water got cold.

Fixtures
To enjoy the ultimate bath experience, you need the right antique bath fixtures. Pick up matching fixtures for your vintage tub by purchasing a handheld shower head that adds more luxury to the experience. You can also choose where you want your faucets. A side-mounted unit helps you adjust the temperature easily, while a freestanding model allows you to move the tub wherever you want.

Bath Caddy
Bath caddies are great because they let you store what you need nearby. It’s a container that hangs across your bathtub and holds your soap, sponge and reading material.

Scents
What would a bubble bath be without some pleasant smells? Choose from different types of bath bombs, salt soaks, bath oils, and more to fill your tub with scent-sational bubbles. To help yourself relax even more, pick from a range of aroma-therapeutic scents like eucalyptus, rosewood, and lavender.

Music
You’ll also want to play some soothing tunes like an instrumental song or sounds of the ocean or rain. Play anything that helps you relax and unwind.

Artwork
This isn’t mandatory, but artwork can help reduce your stress. Just place a variety of colorful paintings or prints that you find aesthetically pleasing in the room.
