When considering room additions for your home, you have many different options for how you will use that space. If you need a place to escape the rigors and stress of everyday life, consider adding a spa to your home to give yourself a tiny oasis that offers refuge and relaxation. Here are a few things you can add to your new room addition to create a luxurious personal spa.

Add An In-Ground Swimming Pool

You don't need to have an Olympic-sized swimming pool to have a place to relax at the end of a long day. A pool contractor (like Holiday Pools INC) can help you find the perfect sized pool for your room addition. A small lap pool or uniquely shaped swimming pool can give you a great place to float in tranquility. As a bonus, you can also use the pool for entertaining at birthday parties or other events.

Build A Sauna

Saunas let you detox your mind and body. You can build a small sauna in your own home that lets you sweat away stress and anxiety, leaving you calm and ready to face each day. Build a sauna for two or simply add a small sauna to any corner of your new room addition to add this luxurious spa accessory to your space. Be sure to add a beautiful towel rack or shelf just outside of the sauna and stack it with ultra-soft Egyptian cotton towels to add to the relaxing ambiance of your spa.

Create A Plush Seating Area

Carve out a small section of your new spa room for just sitting back and enjoying some alone time. Opt for overstuffed furniture, such as a reclining sofa or chair, to create a cozy place to curl up with a good book. You can also splurge on a professional spa-quality massage chair that delivers a deep tissue massage without the need to call a masseuse. Be sure to add a small side table with room for magazines and a favorite beverage to help you unwind.

Add A Snack Bar

With all of the amenities in your new spa area, you might not want to leave even to grab a snack from your kitchen. Add a snack bar to any corner of the room and keep it filled with healthy, nutritious snacks. Energy bars, fruit and nuts can help you replenish your energy level after a swim or a few minutes in the sauna. Add a small refrigerator to keep water and juice available so you can stay hydrated, particularly after you use your sauna. The bar area can also be converted to an entertainment space for parties.

Your spa area should be filled with features that help you relax. From cozy furniture to a luxurious sauna, consider all the different options and add the piece that make sense to you. Work with your pool contractor to help find the right sauna, pool, hot tub or other luxury items that can transform your room addition into your own personal in-home spa.
