SPAs (from Latin Salus Per Aquam, or Health Through Water) are without a doubt one of the most relaxing places you can think of; indeed, they could be the emblem of relaxation.
The unfortunate thing for many is that it is virtually impossible to find the time to spend a day there. Not to mention the fact that, while it is difficult for some to find one close to home, the cost may be another factor. That’s why we want to help you with a little guide and setting up your own SPA at home will not only save you effort and money, but will give you whole days of comfort and rest at zero distance!

Spaces

As with any interior project, a Home SPA also requires adequate space; luckily, in this case, we can use both indoor and outdoor spaces.
If you decide to set up a home SPA that only takes up indoor space, the ideal thing would be to have a dedicated room; however, not everyone can have one. In this case a solution could be to relocate different parts in different rooms just like a sort of wellness path in the house. Obviously, make sure you have sufficient ventilation, electricity and water connections, and that there are no recurring humidity problems. If you also choose to put in a bathtub, check how strong the floor is, i.e. how many pounds it can take – we wouldn’t want to end up bathing with the residents below!

On the other hand, you have the option of moving to the patio, then there are certainly more solutions. Firstly, certain elements can be placed directly in the garden, thus sharing the experience between inside and outside; or, if the season allows it, you can directly set up a small SPA in the garden. Again, you must at least be sure to have access to water and electricity and be sure, of course, that it is a beautiful day!

Atmosphere is everything

Have you ever stopped to think about what makes a SPA experience so relaxing?
Surely the massages, mud treatments, baths and all the rest do a great job, but would you anyway relax with a glaring light, noise from construction work and a terrible smell of burning?
Probably not.

This is why, setting up your own Home SPA, preparing the right atmosphere could do much of the work that professional operators and tools would. Just focus on small but simple details:

  • Music: Choose the right playlist; for example, oriental or Celtic music, delicate instruments and peaceful melodies. Alternatively, nature sounds, white noises such as rain or waves; the important thing is that, since all the senses are involved in creating relaxation, you also promote mental peace;
  • Candles: Unless you have a programmable lighting system and you can regulate the intensity of the lights, candles are ideal for soft lighting. The low light relaxes the eyes, promoting atmospheres of rest and calm;
  • Beauty products: fill your bathroom or room with products for face, body and health! Of course, make sure they are of good quality; even better, test yourself making creams, oils, tonics and scrubs (you’ll find a surprise at the end of the article!);
  • Underwear: it may seem trivial, but being embraced by a comfortable bathrobe, or feeling covered by well-made, soft and fresh towels, really makes a difference;
  • Refreshments: everyone rightly recommends completing the experience with a relaxing, detox herbal tea, a good scented infusion with bewitching vapours, or a refreshing carafe of water with cucumber and lemon. Of course we support these opinions, but let’s also be honest: if your relaxation is a cool, bright glass of sparkling white wine, lying in a hot tub, who are we to judge you?

Given these considerations, let’s move on to the products that ProduceShop recommends for setting up your own Home SPA on a limited budget.

  1. Bathtubs

    Whether hydromassage or simple bathtubs, they are an essential element of any respectable SPA. While the first ones we can put in the house or outside, the second ones find a perfect place in the bathroom or in a large bedroom.
