When faced with long, activity-filled summer days, do you find yourself retreating to the bathroom to get some peace and breathing room away from the kids, roommates and the stress of daily life? Everyone can relate to that. Your bathroom is your refuge, so why not give it some love and create a space where you can truly enjoy the luxury of a moment alone? With just a few upgrades, you can create a personal space to indulge your senses, escape the world’s stresses and turn your bathroom into a wellness sanctuary.

Here’s some inspiration for you to level up your bathroom with personal touches that pamper you and transform your bathroom into the ultimate private escape, from the bathroom experts at TOTO.

Bidet seat
Bidets are one of the hottest home improvement trends of the year and you don’t have to add an extra appliance to your bathroom to get the experience. The TOTO WASHLET is a bidet seat that takes less than 30 minutes to install (seriously, it’s totally DIY) and simply attaches to your toilet, replacing your existing toilet seat and transforming your everyday routine into a relaxing spa-like experience. With a heated seat, warm, aerated water for cleansing and a customizable warm-air dryer, it offers a more refreshing, comfortable and cleaner experience than using toilet paper while sitting on a cold toilet seat. TOTO WASHLETS are also available at a range of price points and feature sets so every homeowner or renter can create their perfect bathroom retreat within their desired budget. This includes the new WASHLET S7A, which offers the very latest in TOTO’s technology and design.

Discover luxury
Plush, fluffy towels and robes are a must in a good spa — why not in your own bathroom? And don’t forget about installing a towel warmer. Even in the summer, getting out of the shower or bath can be jarring. A heated towel is a simple way to elevate the everyday experience with a touch of indulgence.

Showerheads
If your shower feels more like a fire hose, it’s time to make a change. A rainfall showerhead creates a gentle, even flow of water that simulates rainfall. It’s a soothing way to start or end the day. TOTO’s Modern Series Aero Rain Shower 12-inch provides a luxurious shower experience thanks to Aero-Jet Technology, which injects air into each droplet of water.

Capture the calm
Bring in natural elements like wood, stone, bamboo and even greenery to add a grounding sense of tranquility to your bathroom — just what you want after a long day. Be sure to clear countertops of clutter like makeup, lotions, razors and toothbrushes, which can be mentally overstimulating and negatively impact your mood. Reduce visual clutter with hidden storage. Vanities with ample space and drawers, recessed cabinets, and even niches in the shower can help to create a seamlessly blended design.

Soaking tubs
Soaking tubs are a huge bathroom trend due to their therapeutic benefits, which include relieving irritated skin, improving blood circulation, relaxing tense muscles, and reducing stress and anxiety. But wedging yourself into a tiny tub not deep enough to cover you is not exactly a spa-like experience.

If you’re a bath person, investing in a luxurious tub could be an indulgent and appreciated way to level up your bathroom oasis. This may involve a professional remodel to replace your existing tub for a deeper, longer claw-foot tub or soaking tub like TOTO’s Aimes Soaking Tub. Enhance your soak with luxuriously scented candles, soothing bath salts or a bath bomb.

With these simple ideas, you can create the perfect oasis for when you just need an escape this summer.
