Yes, It’s Possible To Make Your Bathroom Feel Like a Spa Even If You’re on a Budget—Here’s How

Yes, it is possible to make your own bathroom feel like a trip to the spa with a few key additons. Here's how to do it, without breaking the bank.

Spending more time at home generally means spending more time in your bathroom, literally (whether it’s your escape for a bit of quiet, your makeshift WFH office for private calls, or the place you’ve recently rediscovered the small-but-mighty joy of baths). Consequently, you’ve gotten more reacquainted with that past-its-prime soap dispenser than you’d prefer.

Yep, it’s officially time for an upgrade, and relaxation is the goal. The good news? Infusing some tranquil spa vibes into your space will cost you way less than a day-trip to the (actual) spa, because you can recreate that atmosphere in your own bathroom with just a few key additions.

It’s all about using your senses to coax your mind into a more serene state—from calming essential oils to soothing self-care treatments and totally-chill decor, all of which you can snag from Walmart for a steal. Prepare to enter a total relaxation bubble.
