Why Spa-Like Bathrooms Are Trending in Boise—and How to Get the Look

/in /by

In Boise, more homeowners are investing in spa-like bathrooms. It’s not about luxury for the sake of luxury—it’s about creating a place to relax, recharge, and start or end your day with a sense of calm.

Why the Spa Trend Is Taking Over

  • More Time at Home: Since 2020, many of us are spending more time at home. That shift made people rethink how their homes function. Bathrooms, once purely utilitarian, are now being transformed into personal wellness retreats.
  • Wellness is a Priority: From cold plunges to meditation apps, wellness is mainstream. A spa-like bathroom fits right in. It supports daily rituals and mental health without needing to leave the house.
  • Higher Resale Value: Spa-inspired features are attractive to buyers. Think walk-in showers, heated floors, and sleek lighting. When done right, bathroom remodeling can deliver both personal value and ROI. Learn more about the resale value here.

How to Get the Spa Look

1. Use Natural Materials

Stick with warm wood tones, stone finishes, and matte metals. These bring in a grounded, organic feel. Natural light matters, too. If privacy allows, install larger or frosted windows to let in soft light.

2. Install a Walk-In Shower

Ditch the tub-shower combo. A large, walk-in shower with frameless glass, a rainfall head, and built-in bench adds function and style. Consider linear drains for a modern touch.

3. Add Spa-Level Fixtures

Heated floors, backlit mirrors, and wall-mounted faucets create clean lines and comfort. Dimmer switches and layered lighting can make the space feel calming any time of day.

4. Keep It Clutter-Free

Minimalism is key. Think built-in shelves, floating vanities, and well-designed storage. Use closed cabinets to hide toiletries and tech.

5. Go Neutral, Not Boring

Stick with a neutral palette (think soft taupe, creamy white, or muted sage), but add depth with texture: zellige tiles, brushed finishes, or reeded wood panels.

6. Hiring a Pro Who Gets It

Great design takes planning. The right team will understand how to balance style with function and bring your vision to life. If you’re considering bathroom remodeling, work with someone who has experience designing spaces that feel intentional and elevated.
