Soft lighting
It’s important to set the right tone with soft lighting. Lighting goes hand in hand with your color palette to set the mood. Staying with warmer lighting tones creates a homey and more cozy feel.
Allowing in natural light through bigger windows will give the waiting room and other facility rooms a natural feel. Also, consider natural lights like candles too.
Color palette
Color plays a significant role in setting the scene for your spa. What colors you use for walls, furniture, and decor should all align and complement each other. Try to avoid vivid colors, and rather opt for calming colors with natural tones and textures.
Nature
Including greenery and plants will not only contribute to the importance of biophilic design but will also improve air quality.
Add green plants and natural flowers to waiting rooms to create a more natural and calming ambiance. If you have the space, living walls are a great way to include greenery, and add texture and living art to your walls.
Sound
Choosing soothing spa music throughout the spa will help put your guests at ease.
Water features
The sound of water makes us feel almost immediately calm. Studies show that looking at water, like rivers and the ocean for 20 minutes slows heart rate and decreases anxiety. Adding a water feature to replicate this is a good idea to help your guests let loose and rid of their anxiety.
Bathroom amenities
There’s nothing quite like finishing your treatment, taking a shower, and finding the bathroom amenities feel just as rich and luxurious on your skin as your actual treatment. Spending a bit more for high-quality products will leave your guests having a positive relaxing experience.
