Pamper Yourself: Creative Bathtub

Accessory Ideas for a Home Spa

A luxurious soak in a warm bubbly bath is one of life's simple pleasures. Transform your basic bathtub into a relaxing home spa with the right accessories. From plush bath mats to soothing bath bombs, the right tub add-ons can heighten your bathing experience.

Here are creative ideas for accessorizing your bathtub for maximum comfort and pampering:

Luxurious Bathtub Mats

Step out of the tub onto a cushy bath mat that feels like a cloud underfoot. Today's bath mat offerings go far beyond basic plastic mats.

● Memory foam mats - For supreme softness right out of the tub. Feel the contours mold to your feet.

● Bamboo mats - Eco-friendly bamboo viscose material with soothing texture.

● Faux fur mats - Cozy faux sheepskin, mink, or rabbit fur.

● Waffle and honeycomb - Unique textured designs provide a massaging effect underfoot.

● Oversized mats - Long mats (3-4 ft) give an extra step of absorbency. Look for thick, cushy pile for a plush post-bath landing pad. Match your bath décor with colors like white, gray, or muted tones.

Soothing Bath Pillows

Lay back against a padded bath pillow for neck, head and shoulder support during long soaks.

● Suction-cup models - Stick directly to your tub wall at the perfect height.

● Inflatable pillows - Blow up to your desired cushioning level. Deflate for storage.

● Terry cloth covers - Soft, machine-washable removable covers over foam.

● Full back support - Larger pillows cushion the full upper back, not just neck.

Align the pillow to support your neck whether you soak face up or leaning back. This allows complete muscle relaxation.

Stylish Shower Curtains

You stare at your shower curtain every bath, so pick one that reflects your personal taste.

● Cloth shower curtains - Made of water-resistant polyester or microfiber rather than vinyl.

● Colorful designs - Available in any color or pattern from solids to elaborate prints.

● Window and clear panels - See through or with window outlines for an open look.

● Mildew resistant - Curtains with anti-mildew technology.

● Different lengths - Standard 70-72” height but longer sizes give a nicer drape.

Have fun expressing your style from modern graphic prints to boho chic cloth curtains. Avoid mold-prone vinyl.

Soothing Bath Bombs

Watch fizzy bath bombs bubble and dissolve to transform tub water into an aromatic, colorful elixir.

● Skin-nourishing oils - Bath bombs infused with oils like coconut, avocado, olive, and shea butter.

● Essential oils - Eucalyptus, lavender, citrus - the aroma promotes relaxation.

● CBD bath bombs - With stress and pain relieving CBD oil.

● Bath fizzies - Less concentrated oils so they don't leave residue.

● Bath salts - Magnesium and Epsom salt formulas also available.

Don’t overdo fragrance if sensitive to scents. Many companies offer unscented calming bombs containing only moisturizers.

Fun Bath Squirties

Make bath time play time with plastic bath squirters and splashers to get kids engaged in washing.

● Animal shapes – Squirt water from a rubber ducky, frog, whale or other creature.

● Toy boats – Float a miniature boat that squirted water out the back.

● Water cannons – Fire streams of water for “sink the ship” bath games.

● Fish squirters – Stick suction-cup fish to the tub wall to spray.

● Scrub brushes – Brushes with small squirt holes add fun to hair washing.

Bath squirters encourage kids to playfully engage in rinsing while having fun. Just be sure to rinse well after use.

Soothing Bath Crayons

Entertain kids during bath time and encourage washing with colorful bath crayons.

● Bath paint sticks - Finger paint sticks let you draw directly on wet tub walls. Rinse away.

● Bath stamps - Stamp shapes, letters or animals onto tub surfaces.

● Bath tablets - Fizzing tablets transform water into liquid “paint” for drawing.

● 3D bath foam - Apply foam letters or shapes to walls using stencils.

● Safe and non-toxic - Ensure crayons use kid-safe pigments.

Bath crayons provide creative sensory play while the tub fills. Just be sure to wipe walls down after.

Relaxing Bath Oils

Add a few drops of aromatic bath oil to moisturize skin as you soak.

● Pure essential oils – Opt for skin nourishing oils like jojoba, coconut, or almond oils.

● Drying oil blends - With oils that hydrate dry skin like avocado, olive, or grapeseed.

● Relaxing scents – Unwind with lavender, eucalyptus, jasmine or cedarwood oil.

● Bubble bath oils – Formulas to pour under running bath water for bubbles.

● CBD and Arnica – Sore muscle soothing properties.

A few drops of bath oil goes a long way. Avoid soaking in oils for too long to prevent residue.

Practical Bath Storage

Keep bath accessories organized yet nearby with these storage solutions:

● Hanging wall caddies – Metal over-tub caddies with hanging hooks keep supplies accessible mid-bath. Suction-cup options available too.

● Freestanding shelves – A water-resistant stool or wheeled cart in the corner for towels and accessories.

● Inflatable pillow storage – Use the air hole to store bath bombs when not in use.
