Nabela's Rejuvenating Spa Room

When your interests and life merge together, you get to design a room transformation that you always dreamed of with your partner and best friend! That’s exactly what has come to fruition during the third trimester of my pregnancy. I have been dealing with excruciating pain and sciatica, which leaves me debilitated most days. To naturally cope with this pain, I have been getting prenatal massages and re-centering my self care practices. So for an early Mother’s Day gift, Seth suggested to me that we transition a small room in our basement to our own personal mini spa!

 

In this room, I can get my prenatal massages in the comfort of my home and relax as much as I need. To learn how we changed this room into our in-home spa, keep reading!

The Design Process 

Since the progression of this unused space naturally came about, Seth really honed in on what to do next to perfectly capture the feeling of rest and relaxation. I’ve gone to a few spas that I thought do this really well and created a moodboard for Seth to reference! Once he saw this, we worked together and helped me get the supplies needed to bring this to life.

 

After talking to me about my expectations for the room, Seth realized that I wanted to incorporate soft texture as well as aromas in a simple, yet elevated way. At least for me, the first things I notice when I walk into a spa is the lighting and the fragrance they use. My senses are invigorated and I had to replicate that. To do so, Seth brought these elements together:

 

• Mood lighting

• Organic and textured materials

• Other spa necessities like hot stones, a massage table, and skin care products (Oak Essentials and Osea)

 

This room was already white, (paint color by –), when we repainted the interior of our home, which allowed us to start with a clean slate. Next, Seth had to reimagine what a new storage solution could look like for some of our camera equipment and any extra items.
